Hi all,
Just build the boot stages of Version 7.0-cross-lfs-20051023-x86_64 from a
LFS 6.1 (32-bit) system. I've noticed a few small errors that I would like to
report.
5.4. Build Variables
Following the commands will set LFS_TARGET to i686-pc-linux-gnu, which works
until building glibc. Changing LFS_TARGET to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu allowed me
to complete the build.
The book (5.3) says:
| Now you will need to set the target triplet for the target
| architecure. You can do this by running the same command as above,
| just running it on the target machine. If you can't run the command on
| the target machine, you can use the table at the bottom of this page.
What's the problem ?
7.10. Creating the passwd, group, and log Files
The cat commands are missing ${LFS} so it tries to write to the root.
7.16. LFS-Bootscripts-3.2.2
Should include a block to set-up ${LFS}/etc/sysconfig/clock because the boot
reports an error when running the clock script.
Thanks, I've addressed these in r7078 although no doubt my wording
about the clock script can be improved.
One minor points
A few of the instructions in chapter 6 say something like:
echo "am_cv_func_working_getline=yes" >> config.cache
CC="${CC} ${BUILD64}" ./configure ...
wouldn't it be better to say:
echo "am_cv_func_working_getline=yes" > config.cache
because if the configure has already been run then the cache file should be
truncated.
I've assumed that _some_ architectures already write to config.cache in
these cases, but I haven't looked too deeply (the aim is to keep the
text common between the different architectures, so e.g. the
multilib/foo-64.xml will include chunks from common/foo.xml). Maybe
there is a better way to set it out ? - obviously just '>config.cache'
would do it in all cases where it is needed, but it would look clunky.
