meanwhile i found a thread on this list started by nathan coulson about the same issue, thus sorry for the noise...
..but: the blkid is NOT from util-linux-ng as i guessed but from e2fsprogs! i tried with the newest versions of e2fsprogs (1.41.6), util-linux-ng (2.15.1) and udev (142). i tried e2fsprogs to configure with --disable-libblkid, but as there is no libblkid available, it fails. thus i tried to install util-linux-ng with libblkid and blkid, but i found no posibility to get libblkid from util-linux-ng. i found no option in the configure script. starting make from within libs/blkid fails with "LIBBLKID_VERSION undeclared here" and "LIBBLKID_DATE undeclared here". removing the e2fsprogs libblkid.so and it's links doesn't force to build the libs, but complains about missing libblkid when linking mount. actually only e2fsprogs can build a libblkid, and there is no obvious way to prevent its build as --disable-libblkid requires an existing libblkdid which can't be build from util-linux-ng. so i probably have to live without the /dev/disk/by-* links until the mess between the three packages is cleand up. maybe for the time beeing, the following changes should be applied to the book: udev chapter 6.56 - remove vol_id and libvolume_id from section 6.26.2 - add a comment about missing /dev/disk/by* util-linux-ng 6.57 - 2.15.1 works fine here with the instructions given for 2.14.2 tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
