However the lead developer's first language is not English, so he can be forgiven (and even the original developer was American ;-). You'll need to look at the actual scripts to understand how they work Heinrich. Then, once you've worked it all out, write us a jhalfs howto :-) As Randy says, they are not newbie tools. But as I once said to my programmers: "a program without user documentation is not a program at all." But I was paying them, and no one pays the jhalfs team! BLFS is a 'dip in and build the bits you want' book, the blfs-tool is more a: dependency management tool with a package builder on the back, than a blfs automated machine. Its job is to examine the blfs book and build a set of scripts to build the dependencies of the target as well as the target itself. You then have to edit the scripts to make something useful. It isn't an automated build system, like, say, portage. Best of luck, R. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
