Looking to see if there is any interest for LFS running on Raspberry pi
hardware here?
I am currently working to get a build of LFS working on some raspberry pi 4
hardware. I have LFS version 8.4 running on Rpi 2 and Rpi3 which I currently
use them for IMAP server and a validating DNS server. Wireless from
BLFS-8.4 works well on the Rpi3.
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.
How so? the software packages build the same way, only the build, host
and target buiding gcc and glibc get in the way
I purchased a Raspberry pi 4 with 4GB ram and I am going to leave the Intel
platform and goto the Raspberry pi platform. I want to build an entire
desktop to serve as my desktop machine using a light weight destop manager
like LXDE. Raspian Buster works well but I want to build my own.
Maybe a offshoot like CLFS or LFS systemd?
LFS systemd is not an offshoot, it is one of the two variants of x86
LFS/BLFS.
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.
Well I have been successfull building LFS on arm, going by the book
since LFS-8.0. The only issue I have had is this gettext issue. I may
be beyond that, I will know in about 12 hours or so. That is how long
it takes to build the tool chain on a Rpi2. It takes about 24 hours to
build chapter 6 to the end, ie the "base system".
