Hi
Host System : lfs live cd version:x86-6.1-2.
Book vresion: 6.1
I have 2 Q :
first:
In part 4.2(page 43) we make a symlink(/tools);The
explanation of the book is :
The created symlink enables the toolchain to be
compiles so that it always referes to /tools, meaning
that the compiler ... will work both in this
chapter(when we are using some tools from the host)and
the next (when we are ''chrooted'' to the LFS
partition).
Now I want to know that if i don't make this link
then it means i can't use these toolsin chapter 5
?(Actually the explanation of the book wasn't so clear
for me)
Correct. If the symlink isn't there, installing to /tools will attempt
to install to a subdirectory of '/' which should fail (because you are a
normal user in chapter 5) and even if you managed to do that, it would
be inaccessible when you entered chroot.
Second:
In part 5.3(page 53) we use these commands :
mkdir ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
Now the question is :
what is the path of the binutils-build ?(BTW : I know
what does ../ mean)
Thanks in advance
The book mentions building in /mnt/lfs/sources in section 3.1, if you
do that you would have something like
/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2
and
/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build.
But, as long as binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 and binutils-build are both in
the same parent directory, it really makes no difference. I build my
own systems in /mnt/lfs/building because /mnt/lfs/sources is an nfs
mount on my desktops. The only difference for me is that I can't access
the patches using a ../ path.
