Hi all, I have followed thru with LFS 6.3 thru chapter 5 and now at chapter 6. I boot from LFS Live CD, and have downloaded all package tarballs t to the $LFS/sources directory.
What the book apparently doesnt specify at all, is whether one has to re-unpack the tarballs (read: re-create sources) when done with chapter 5 compilations before startin compiling packages from chapter 6? It is important because the packages in chapter 5 that are recompiled in chapter 6 (Glibc, GCC, etc) get patches appplied, not to mention that their make scripts make later recompilation not really recompile them at all. For instance at least one package told me "None of the targets needs recompiling" or something along the lines of, because all the files from chapter 5 phase build are still there, which make finds already. I dont know if i am making much sense here, its late and i am tired :) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
