-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ciao,
hope that's the right place to post this note, should this not the case, please accept my apologies and let me know what is better. i have just installed lfs on an old thinkpad a21 just to check it out. since i had only system rescue cd 2.0.1 handly to give lfs a try, i decided to move forward with it even if not supported/raccomanded. basically, everything went quite fine following the amazing book step by step, but for two little issues i would like to report them just in case someone might find them of any interest. 1. system rescue cd lacks bison and texinfo. i am not sure which problems that could arise, so i just installed them by hand. to avoid any conflict i installed them in $LFS/opt and added $LFS/opt/bin in the lfs user's path (i guess there surely be a better way, that's the first coming to my mind...) 2. gettext hangs while installing when configure checks for the right place to put the .elc files after checking for emacs. as far as i understand, problem arises because system rescue cd actually holds zile, being emacs a symlink to zile binary. i tried to configure adding the - --without-emacs option, but nothing changed. also in this case, the fastest way i found was just to rm the emacs symlink. i would also like to take the chance to congrat the lfs team for the great job, as i said the book is just amazing :) regards, - -- Giuseppe `ferdy` Miceli mailto:ferdy at funtoo dot org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJN0+k6AAoJEJMfCQ6CaveZSHoQAKMpFG/ImHWfUZA3oxv3+7ec SE9pVrT8s1SW+PtvufK1aprotL441TKBb2sR87H8bpXb9JTfdpJFAbOrKVdEty+V 7Ly+71gkvmd5lvfA+SgRldsPeyiAkmhZGDLLj+UYtfmHrazPirZflMaf/EOFyuVD PQxDam0KRYC8Gk1umhBwkkhXWMD5AvGk8G/E417wWVPH1ImVS8WI400WmLzqaujK dn8bWrUkQ+hp+O0D79IGoU0xZc0s5j3h+N9NPWrE+wJaDj+Irh4cGBo0OM8kNcxV MEXq407au84mKjXNOQfI6Tl8c3cb4dEC5Yw+MQTKj7MoNWXuByyT5a7DJ9JO7kzV lyxG5jTvUq3W9Vki+5TEHRM4UmskUP9wigjgjgELETKnn0RydXMLvHHrxQA3ijdo rtCdxVCg9zS4rM4R1c9ZZb6/KV0AAtO50xeUAun3iHGsMCbB7oqsdih/aCgvV6+t Z42KhuTlgDJX1JwA4Gi5JEi2g3XNAu439xjLran481EscQoFPc8Q9/7hcBIZSp6e mf1FXc/9R/oYOM5nFe6+zFhTOsX5RbObdC6abE29+wVWV5JgiZIS9gE+he/CtHeY EXHA1Ca/3ZebHsEZl7PZIHjSg/11tN2OzsGNJuyvz81t7CU7YcRUJGCXQkO1Rw1k FdXMDqIzJKWKr4y4Lq1K =E4GU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
