I suppose theoretically you could build all of Chapter 5 after Ncurses (you can't just start in any order after GCC Pass 2 as you still have, for example, Expect which requires Tcl, Bash which needs Ncurses...) in any order and it would probably work. Of course, even assuming there are no technical problems with building multiple packages simultaneously, trying to do so can easily create more opportunities for user error. I wouldn't bother trying. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
