Hi all
I'm finally doing a full new build of LFS (Version 10.0) and have
noticed that in chapter 6, the temporary tools are now installed
directly into $LFS, unlike in older versions, where they went into
$LFS/tools.
I assume this has some advantages, but I liked the old approach, as it
gave me a clean $LFS before chapter 8.
In my case, I used a package manager from chapter 8 on, and my package
would npw be complaining about overwriting unknown files a lot.
I can add an option abouit forcing to overwrite files, but I wondered if
installind chapter 6 into $LFS/tools is still supported somehow?
No. If you do that you'll risk to have some hardcoded paths to /tools, in some
executables and scripts of your final system. The most significant advantage of
the new approach is that we won't need to track and develop workaround for those
faulty paths anymore.
Well, the book managed to work around these until at least version 8.2
of the book. I think it's just a couple of sed's in a couple of
packages, but I don't want to start a war over it. Every progress has
its downsides.
Thanks for the information, anyay.
Bye
Tim
