Beyond Linux® From Scratch - Version 2012-03-01/Chapter 24. X Window
System Environment states the following:
Setting up the Xorg Build Environment
First, you'll need to create a working directory:
mkdir xc &&
cd xc
Is a separate xc working directory necessary? I thought lfs/blfs
convention is to build in a src directory. Linux From Scratch Version
7.0 suggests the following:
2.2 Creating a New Partition
/usr/src – This partition is very useful for providing a location to
store BLFS source files and share them across LFS builds. It can
also be used as a location for building BLFS packages. A reasonably
large partition of 30-50 gigabytes allows plenty of room.
I understand binutils-build and gcc-build are suggested outside the
binutils and gcc source directories. But I don't see the need/logic for
an extra xc directory to build X. I've always followed the
documentation, but I just built X in my src directory without problems.
So if the xc directory is necessary, why? If xc isn't necessary, should
it be in the documentation? This isn't a big problem either way, but I'm
curious.
