Indeed it was. I've been booting my CLFS system at the end of chapter 7 as a Xen virtual machine. I'd added Xen, emacs, zsh, and a lots of other goodies to my host system by installing them in my homedir. Anything that uses pkg-config works just fine after adjusting PKG_CONFIG_PATH... but things that don't install .pc files need CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS set in order for configure scripts to find them. You see where this is going. ;-) I was logged in as my normal user, and had just parsed the clfs user's settings into my environment. > If you su - clfs then you won't have that issue, > > if you su clfs then you will have that issue. Was doing neither, admittedly. I've been doing these builds on and off for 10+ years and got brave/crazy/lazy. And I got exactly what I deserved. :-/ > Why did you have CPPFLAGS and LDLFAGS set as root when you su to clfs > anyway? > > When you su - clfs it'll take up the environment of the clfs user so you > will have no issues. > > I don't think this belongs in section 5.2. Makes no sense how CPPFLAGS and > LDFLAGS would be in the clfs user's environment when you enter it properly. Your call. But why unset CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS w/out also unsetting CPPFLAGS? Neither CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS would be set at that point either, if I'd been the clfs user. -- Michael D Labriola 21 Rip Van Winkle Cir Warwick, RI 02886 401-316-9844 (cell) 401-848-8871 (work) 401-234-1306 (home) _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list Clfs-support@lists.cross-lfs.org http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-support-cross-lfs.org
