The LFS 6.7/SVN builds on x86_64 with no problems. I can test with little problem, though I do have to install glibc before testing will work properly, this is probably a host system problem. libxml-2.7.5 and 2.7.6 caused quite a few problems for me, but that was related to zlibc+x86_64 data structures. Unzip needs to be built with linux_noasm instead of linux (because it uses x86 asm). I've done X, Gnome, mysql, ruby, python-2.7, nginx, cups, alsa, the full gstreamer stack (ok some media stuff did take some "massaging"), Boost, Firefox, and QT4.5. If someone would like, I could submit the instructions for Nginx and Boost. Other than the media stuff and Unzip, nothing segfaults, and everything compiles as is. I'm using nouveau+kms for X -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
