While constructing LFS v.8.4 I encountered a segmentation fault in Chapter 5 Section 35 "Stripping."
I understand why this happened. I built up to Section 34, logged out and logged in as lfs again. PATH found the newly compiled and installed bash in /tools/bin and I ended up trying to strip a running program: /tools/bin/bash . Though I haven't tried, I expect the same problem with LFS 8.5 . If you construct LFS in one sitting as the book instructs, the host system shell would be the one running at the end of Chapter 5 and this does not happen. Chapter 2 Section 3 says: 2.3. Building LFS in Stages LFS is designed to be built in one session. That is, the instructions assume that the system will not be shut down during the process. So if someone shuts down the system at any point, he is deviating from the book and might encounter problems. Chapter 2 Section 3 lists what to watch out for but this particular issue is not mentioned. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
