Hi mahesh,
LFS 6.4 book mentioned two folders,
/mnt/lfs/sources
/mnt/lfs/tools
You have to work in /mnt/lfs/sources for all installation work. All
installation scripts will install required files in /mnt/lfs/tools
automatically when you execute proper commands according to the book (LFS 6.4).
First consider page 37 of the book where you begin the LFS installation with
binutils-2.18. You have to do fllowing:
copy binutils- 2. 18. tar. bz2 and binutils-2.18-configure-1.patch file to
/mnt/lfs/sources
then uncompress it as tar -jxf binutils- 2. 18. tar. bz2
go into the directory binutils- 2. 18 (cd binutils- 2. 18)
issue the command as book says: patch -Np1 -i ../binutils-2.18-configure-1.patch
then issue following command to create a folder inside /mnt/lfs/sources
mkdir -v ../binutils-build
Please try to understand this. Your current location should be
/mnt/lfs/source/binutils-2.18/ and when you issue the command "mkdir -v
../binutils-build" it will create the directory in /mnt/lfs/sources/ as
/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build.
this means
LFS book does not explain everything (specially location to execute
installation commands)
you should have basic knowledge about unix system and its command (specially
file system related command behaviour)
