On a previous page (book 6.3 ch 5.1) This was mentioned: Important
Before issuing the build instructions for a package, the package should be unpacked as user lfs, and a cd into the created directory should be performed. The build instructions assume that the bash shell is in use. This is found on page 5.3.1 in book 6.3 The Binutils documentation recommends building Binutils outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory: mkdir -v ../binutils-build cd ../binutils-build This is leading up to my question. The source directory mentioned above I assume is the binutils-2.17 (which was created when I ran tar -xf on the bin*.bz2 file) and the path is $LFS/sources/binutils-2.17 (this sources directory was created back in ch 3). If I follow the 1st cmd listed above that would put the binutils-build directory in this path $LFS/sources/binutils-build along side the $LFS/sources/binutils-2.17. The 2nd cmd would put me in the binutils-build directory. I assume this is where I am supposed to be to do the build for binutils? Also is there anything during the build process for binutils that is not mentioned in the book that I am supposed already know about and do? -- Stealth -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
