Hallo,
I am using a self compiled LFS-7.9 Version / BLFS-Version 2016-07-01.
As I have already built several systems "from the scratch", I would
like to change now the procedure, if possible I remember an e-mail
from Bruce, telling that he not more builds LFS/BLFS from the scratch
for his own use, but he upgrades the programs which have changed in
the meantime.
I would therefore like to copy my actual programs in an empty
partition and start compiling every unit who has changed, not touching
the others. As an example, I would build GCC, who has changed, but not
ncurses, who remained unchanged. And I would do the compilation in the
same order as the book indicates. After that, more or less the same
with BLFS. Is this a way which can be followed ?
Thank you very much for advises !
That's what I do. I usually remove all references to /tools from the
instructions. Also, the order is not that important, since dependencies
are already built. Be warned that, when upgrading glibc, install may
trash the system (not always). If it does, I launch the host system and
do the install in chroot. If you reinstall Perl, be ready to reinstall
all the perl modules you had installed in BLFS, even if there is no new
version of those modules. That's all I can think of now. Ah yes: if some
packages are both in LFS and BLFS, it's better to use the BLFS
instructions for the upgrade.
