Please read the 'Note' after the second paragraph at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter04/abouttestsuites.html
In general, tests in chapter 5 can sometimes highlight problems from a change to *how* things are built (I've seen this while clfs was being developed), and the lack of differences was a good confirmation for me (and took a few attempts, I think) when I completely rewrote my own build scripts). But for that, you need your *own* known good recent test results from chapter 5 (someone on a different CPU, or different host distro, or different kernel release, might get different results). So, for most people building LFS, running tests in chapter 5 is a waste of time and electricity. > --------------- > Good afternoon again. > Thanks, this gives a little hope. > Is another worried, that such lines in the preceding chapters :...... > .......... > make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-target'. > .......... > make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install'. > ............... > make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-target'. > .................. > It is normally? > ----------Fuf. > Depends in which subdirectory it happens ;) Some packages in LFS are complex things - they have several directories, some of which are for internal dependencies which get built into a library and statically linked into the programs, others of which are for optional features which might not get installed in chapter 5 (particularly, documentation), and some might be for things that aren't ever built on linux. If this is your first build, probably all you can reasonably do is check that *something* got installed by each package (look at timestamps using 'ls -l' in e.g. /tools/bin, /tools/include, /tools/lib, and if in doubt review your command history against what the book says you should have typed, and check chapter 6 for what you might hope to find. Usually, the last few lines of output from 'make install' will give you enough confidence that it ended correctly ( if in doubt, 'echo $?' BEFORE you key any other commands ) and it will hopefully show something that was installed ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
