Cool.
I've just started to work on my second LFS. Gonna use Salix, though. Have you
ever tried BLFS?

I will keep working on the Debian issue, more as a challenge than anything
else. I will eventually find the correct solution (I'm persistent), but in the
mean time I'll look at Salix just for giggles too. I'm enjoying the process, it
drives my wife nuts
when I swear at the computer. Particularly on my nights off at 2:30am. I
really appreciate the LFS team and the whole LFS project, I've learned a lot
that I skipped over by using pre-built distros. I'm loving the challenge.

In my experience, Debian and it's derivatives never had the libraries required,
and satisfying all of those dependencies is a challenge. I used Salix to build
my LFS and I did not install anything extra. My guess is that Debian isn't
configured to build
LFS systems.
If I were you, I'd rather stick to Slackware or use Salix, unless you want to
use Debian. If you wish to use Debian, install programs like awk, bison, gcc,
and development libraries (they may help).
Good luck with building your next LFS!

Subject: [lfs-chat] Issues with host system Debian
I have successfully built LFS 7.9 twice using Slackware as the host system with
a default full-install. I'm currently trying to build 7.9 Systemd. I've been
using various versions of Linux off and on for the last 18 years or so, but
never too deeply into
the technical aspects. (Yes, I still use Microshaft too) I'm in my late 50's.
I can manage most simple scripting issues, but I'm not a 'programmer'. I
started with RH, I've used Mandrake, Debian, Slackware and others just to play
with them. I currently have
Debian (stretch) onboard with Slackware on a second partition, and several
other partitions available between 2 drives totaling 2.4 TB. I'm using an Intel
Core i3 @ 3.2Ghz, with 8GB ram. I always have a spare computer around just for
experimentation, which
is what I use this one for.
To date I have not successfully built LFS using Debian (Wheezy, Jessie, or
Stretch). I'll get into glibc on the build tools when it fails.
I've checked the system requirements and I appear to meet them
I added build-essential, bison, gawk, and vim (I hate vim-tiny). I fixed the
link to /bin/bash from /bin/dash, Is there something obvious here that I'm
missing? The version-check script shows everything as ok with a clean compile
on the dummy.c.
I've wiped the system clean and getting ready to start over, any suggestions
before I begin again? I gather from all the references that the LFS team has
used Debian as a host before. Any additional packages that I need to get into
Debian before trying again?
Thanks,
Daniel
