For example, LFS 6.0 Chapter 5 binutils has: Binutils installation depends on: Bash, Coreutils, Diffutils, GCC, Gettext, Glibc, Grep, Make, Perl, Sed, and Texinfo these are not always 100% accurate, and may be missing some packages, but are a good general guide. Doing a quick look through the list, your host should have the following packages: (note you should have the -devel versions of these packages installed, as that installes the necessary headers as well as the binaries). Bash Bison Coreutils Diffutils Findutils Gawk Gettext Glibc Grep Make Ncurses Perl Sed Texinfo Zlib Note that only Chapter 5 has host system requirements - once we start Chapter 6, we have already installed everything we need. In addition, the host system needs to have the Glibc headers installed, and (for LFS 6.x) a kernel version 2.6.2 or higher, compiled with gcc 3.0 or higher. -- - Steve Crosby -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
