Hi,

I am following Book 7.0. In Section 5.2 Toolchain Technical Notes, the following is mentioned:

"Binutils installs its assembler and linker in two locations, /tools/bin and /tools/$LFS_TGT/bin. The tools
in one location are hard linked to the other."
/tools/bin and /tools/$LFS_TGT/bin should be hard linked? I am not able to see any commands mentioned in the book to create a hard link between them. I am going to start gcc pass-2 compilation, so just wanted to know if any hard link needs to be created inside /tools/ to avoid any failures.
Kindly explain if I miss something.

Thanks,
Emerson



The compilation process creates the hard links, so there is no need to manually create links. If anything, creating links beforehand may cause errors due to the links pointing nowhere.
