Hi,
I have now got this script to work, and it works great ! I do have a few
questions though.
First of all I get a md5sum error on the lfs-bootscripts and tzdata2013c,
and the nss-3.14.3-standalone-1.patch has been moved. Those things I have
just corrected / ignored.
But then the script fails in the compilation of Lua. In file lua.sh, line
21: The script try to make a sed on ../../SOURCES/lua.pc -which can't be
found. If I change this line to ../../TOOLS_RPM/lua-5.2.2/lua.pc the script
finish compiling lua, apparently succesfull. but then during compilation of
RPM the script fails whith "can't find lua ."
I have temporary solved this by adding -without-lua to the configuration of
RPM. The funny thing was, that I had the same problem when I compiled RPM
first. No matter what I did, I could not compile it with lua. What is the
consequences of this (if any), and can you advise a solution ?
Aside from that, I love the script, instead of 2 - 3 days of work I can now
build a fresh system in just four hours, with virtually no work at the
computer, and on top of that I get RPM ! I am updating the kernel and the
book version now, I am also adding a script which can update the RPM
database by generating an installable RPM whith all the packages you have
compiled from source. And if you are not going to maintain your script on
github, I can make mine available for anyone who would like to try this.

Yes, the LFS-pacman packeage management line is now a dead end. If
anyone wants to take it over be my guest.
i don't like where pacman 4 is going and it requires many more
additional packages to make it function.
I am following the pacman devel on Arch for now and it seems a bit
crazy. I wanted a simple package management system and it looked like
pacman would fit the bill. I tried upgrading the version of pacman to
the latest version in my "build system" built things got a bit too
ugly. I then looked for different packages managers and RPM seemed to
be the best choice. I was used the lastest rpm version from rpm.org (
there has just been a new release so I will need to grab that).
I like the srpm files as it captures all the files used to create the
binary rpm package so you can recreate the binary package when ever you
need to.
Using rpm is a requirment for "Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" so I
guess it makes me more compliant...Yipee
