I delete the *.la files from all my packages, well the package manager than I am using dose so automatically. So far I have not had any issues with LFS or BLFS, I am building xorg,. I have ran it (works well using tvm ) but I am cleaning it up as I didn't like how I packaged it on the first pass. I intend to build Xfce and KDE4 so I have a little ways to go. I will most likely end up using Xfce with some of KDE4 apps, that is if KDE4 is sluggish with LFS/BLFS, under fedora 17 it's a turd on a quad core AMD with 8G of ram, you can take a nap on booting. :-( I fact I did fall asleep waiting for it to boot. I boot it and then go to the kitchen for a snack, if I take long enough it will be ready when I get back. This same system flies with Win 7. This LFS/BLFS project is my last attempt with linux... If it doesn't pan out then I _WILL_ move to PC-BSD. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
