[lfs-dev] Dangling symlinks left after LFS build completion
Hi, Just finished LFS 8.1 systemd stable version. I noticed 4 dangling symlinks pointing to the /tools directory : /usr/lib/{libuuid.a,libmount.a,libblkid.a,liblzma.a} -> /tools/lib/ These links should also be removed in section 6.72 «Cleaning up» of the book. This may break some builds in BLFS. For instance Serf-1.3.9 does not build if the broken link libblkid.a is present (there was a thread in blfs-dev about that in september).
