What specifically is the source directory? For example: I went to $LFS/sources and did rm -r gcc-build and I think that's correct? But then I rm -r gcc-4.0.3. Now i can not mkdir binutils-build for the Pass 2 so I assume I am misunderstanding what the source directory is?
The source directory is what's in the tarball, i.e. the gcc-4.0.3 directory. The build directory is where you will compile the objects and executables from that source, i.e. the gcc-build directory. The idea is that you do all the compiling in a separate location and you don't mess up any of the source files. So, if you've deleted the gcc-build and/or binutils-build directories, you may want to start over. The book should instruct you when you need to keep the build directories. Everything else you should delete immediately after your done unless you really want to keep them. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
