Hi Chris and Jim,
Tks for your advice.
You need to "cd" into the sources directory, and as
Jim said, all the
package-installation instructions in the book assume
that you have
already untarred the package and entered its source
directory.
Whether you meant
lfs:~$ cd /mnt/lfs/sources/
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$
and then run the command here
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ mkdir ../binutils-build
All packages and patches for building LFS are in
/mnt/lfs/sources/
However I still don't understand how following 3
hidden files exist on host FC3
root:/home/lfs# ls -al
total 36
drwx------ 2 lfs lfs 4096 Jun 29 13:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:13 ..
-rw------- 1 lfs lfs 622 Jun 29 13:17
.bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 lfs lfs 59 Jun 28 18:37
.bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 lfs lfs 96 Jun 28 23:27 .bashrc
Are they for the host FC3?
.bash_history is where your command history is stored. The book explains
about the other 2 files and tells you what they should look like.
I can't find these 3 files for LFS in /mnt/lfs/,
/mnt/lfs/sources and /mnt/lfs/tools
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -al /mnt/lfs
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jun 27 14:19 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jun 2 11:41 lost+found
drwxrwxrwt 2 lfs root 4096 Jun 28 13:45 sources
drwxr-xr-x 2 lfs root 4096 Jun 28 17:05 tools
/mnt/lfs/tools is an empty directory.
$LFS/tools should be empty because you have just created it - it will
later contain the programs that you build in Chapter 5 in the book.
Did I make a mistake.
