I really don't see how this is possible unless you already have the directory /tools/include/asm on your system. You wouldn't have that directory if you were starting in a clean space for Ch. 5. Neither gcc-pass1 or binutils-pass1 would install this directory. This is how cp works. Since DEST (/tools/include/asm) doesn't exist, SOURCE (/sources/linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0/include/asm-i386) is copied as DEST. It would only become a subdirectory of /tools/include/asm if DEST existed as a DIRECTORY. If this is not the situation on ubuntu, then that's f*scked up. Care to try a sanity test? Start in an empty directory and try the following commands. $ mkdir foo $ touch foo/bar $ cp -Rv foo bar `foo' -> `bar' `foo/bar' -> `bar/bar' $ ls -R bar bar: bar If cp is really doing what you say it is, then you'll end up with bar/foo/bar instead of bar/bar. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
