Well, I've created little nice perl package that automates running of most tasks. So, all I need is to give parameters for configure, make etc and then let the perl do the rest of things (unpacking, compiling, making, cleaning up...) Sure enough, stripped version of perl can't do it since it is missing File extension (and with it the glob functionality). I've figured that perl is stripped mostly to make sure that it is lean enough, I've simply installed full version and it worked. As to the problem with the gettext. It is gone. Well, I've booted the system again and tried to execute all the steps by hand and everything worked fine. I didn't have time yet to repeat this with perl script, but hopefully this week I'll find time to play with it. It could be that gettext does not like to be installed by perl (some environment does not match?). Though in Chapter 5 it worked perfectly well. Really I've finished the base system already, now I can play around. -- Minds, like parachutes, function best when open -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
