I hope it's OK that I post this message on this list. I didn't find
any similar "can I do this" type questions in the alfs archives.
In preparing for LFS-7.6, I realized that I had concentrated on
scripting Ch. 6 and completely ignored Ch. 5. Since I employ Package
Users, all my scripts are geared toward that and it would be a *big*
project to modify my main build script for Ch. 5. I've been thinking
of jHALFS for that.
I think I learned, when I looked at the alfs page, that the latest,
current LFS version can be obtained through svn. Is this correct?
yes
To use an svn version of jHALFS then becomes a matter of installing
subversion, and its dependencies, and libxlst, and its dependencies
including docbook. Is this correct?
In addition to what version-check.sh tests, you need:
- sudo (and it is highly suggested that the user could use it without
issuing a password)
- wget
- libxml2
- libxslt
- subversion
docbook is not needed, only the BLFS tools use it
I'm also assuming that I can build only Ch. 5 with jHALFS. It has
been many years since I used it and I can't remember whether or not
it stops at the end of CH. 5. If it doesn't, I think that I can go
through the script or the Makefile, whichever it uses, and stop the
build when I want to.
yes. I suggest you do NOT tick "Run the Makefile" (in "General
Settings"), and that you run:
make -C /mnt/lfs/jhalfs mk_LUSER (will stop after "stripping" in
chapter 5).
you can also use:
make -C /mnt/lfs/jhalfs BREAKPOINT=051-gawk (for example, to stop
after chapter 5's "gawk")

Thank you so much, Pierre. This is really helpful.
