when I first began playing with LFS I was instructed to script my build so
that is what I do. I was also instructed to build it on a virtual machine
but because you can get recycled computers from universities I decided to
build lfs on one of those instead (I got an optiplex 755 for less than
$25.... that is less than what two thumb drives cost in the USA).
First I write the build script and then copy it from the main computer to
the LFS machine:
scp [email protected]:/home/bmike1/Documents/LFS/7.8/build/5.5build.txt
$LFS/sources
[email protected]'s password:
5.5build.txt 100% 1700 1.7KB/s 00:00
then I run the script. I do not think it is acting correctly because the
the errors appear immediately; gcc doesn't unpack.
here is an example of the script:
#5.5
tar -xjf gcc-5.2.0.tar.bz2
cd gcc-5.2.0
cp ../mpfr-3.1.3.tar.xz .
cp ../mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz .
cp ../gmp-6.0.0a.tar.xz .
tar -xJf ../mpfr-3.1.3.tar.xz
mv -v mpfr-3.1.3 mpfr
tar -xJf ../gmp-6.0.0a.tar.xz
mv -v gmp-6.0.0 gmp
tar -xzf ../mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz
mv -v mpc-1.0.3 mpc
That's not what the book said to do.
1. Remove the three cp commands.
2. Remove the j, z, and J from the tar commands. You only need those
when creating the tar files.
