I guess you've answered Bruce's post about your gettext problem. To repeat for everyone who posts here: we might be able to help when you deviate from the book, but you definitely need to mention what is different. And using Arm is definitely different. > I purchased a Raspberry pi 4 with 4GB ram and I am going to leave the Intel > platform and goto the Raspberry pi platform.

CLFS might be appropriate, I think one of their devs is using a pi for CLFS-embedded which probably implies an x86_64 machine to build on (AMD processors are available ;) There was something on github about LFS on pi a while ago, i.e. not up to date. I guess you could fork that, but on non-x86 (or even on 32-bit x86 before CPUs which were 64-bit capable) you will hit your own problems which those of us on mainstream platforms do not experience. Fun, if you have the time to do it. At one time I played with ppc on LFS, including the (expletive deleted - it had cache inconsistency) AmigaOne and trying to get a 2.6 kernel for that, later I played with ppc64 (BE in those days) in CLFS. As I say, an interesting learning experience, but it can be far from what LFS builders encounter. ĸen -- The right of the people to keep and arm Bears, shall not be infringed. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
