1) First of all you should not delete sources n build dirs of packages which u r goin' to use again later. 2) There r two packages of gcc, core n tarball. But when u untar them then they 'll be untared into a single dir gcc-x.y.z. 3) Generally we create a dir /usr/src/sources and download all the packages which be .tar.gz/bz2. Then we untar them here n install them. This is our workin' dir. ------------------------------ <quote who="MIke Cruz"> > First sys specs > > P4 1.5 Ghz > 512 RAM > Nvidia gforce3ti200 > pci sound blaster audio > two 80 gig hardrives > (with Gentoo on the first harddrive) > (hopefully LFS on the second) > a cdr-rom and a dvd-rom > a floppy <--not working > linksys ethernet card > > > Like I said my host system is Gentoo with the 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 kernel and > gcc 3.3.4 > > > I am installing LFS on the second harddrive with a partitions this > /dev/hdb1 <--boot +32M ext2 filesystem > /dev/hdb2 <--swap +512M > /dev/hdb3 what ever is left (ext2 filesystem) > > I am on page 64 on the manual I downloaded it (PDF format) > > I am going to start my second pass on GCC > > 1) I deleted my gcc-3.4.1 sources and build dir's after the first > install <-- this is what the book said to do "unless other wise stated" > > 2) on the bottom of page 64 it talks about "core" "g++" tarballs <--- > it never said to download them "i checked the book and online" (I have > them now!) > > 3) it also talks about untaring these (above) paqckages into the working > dir? > what is the working dir? <-- $LFS/tools? or the gcc dir i delete? > > could someone please clear up the clouds in my mind! > > > > > > > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page >
