[lfs-support] LFS with PAM
Hi all I'm now just building my second LFS 7.6 system where I decided to integrate PAM into the build, to not having to install shadow and libcap twice in order for PAM to work. My order, diverting from the book, was: - ncurses (same) - attr (same) - acl (same) - pam (new) - sed (new) - libcap (new) - shadow (new) - psmisc (old) This got me into an error because PAM requires flex, which is not yet installed. So I moved flex before pam and that seemed to work fine. My question now is: shall a rebuild flex at the usual stage after m4 again? Does the flex build then change because of some optional dependency on flex?

I think you will be fine. flex is a pretty basic command and doesn't have any unusual dependencies that I know of that are not built in Chapter 5. -- Bruce -- 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.

No. The bootscripts are supposed to write to /run which is a tmpfs mounted in mountvirtfs (the very first script). You need the entry in fstab to be: tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0 Then the mountfs remounts / as rw. Finally at the end of the bootscipts the rc script appends the boot.log in /run (/run/var/bootlog) to /var/log/boot.log. Note too that /var/run needs to be a symlink to /run. As to what Bruce has replied with, also check that the proper kernel options are in the config of your running kernel: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter08/kernel.html Mainly devtmpfs Yep, sure I got all that, CP for fstab. The Pseudo File Systems are a bit different in 3.5.2 than in the new book, but I've got them. I started with a defconfig, then edited out some of the stuff not needed for an initial boot kernel, e.g. sound, added some stuff I figured might be, e.g. USB thumb-drives, I'll be able to verify snoop this evening. (TV's doing a pledge break. ;-) ) But I just got a replacement CPU for the box that was throwing machine checks to install too. -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: Everything you do communicates.

Re: [lfs-support] LFS-7.2 smoke tests
OK, whose great idea was it to put the devtempfs in Device Drivers Common? 8-[ Still no joy because rc.d/rcsysinit.d does not exist! Correct. /etc/inittab si runs rc sysinit. So the code in rc tries to mash rc sysinit together to make a directory name. None such! /etc/rc.d DOES however have an rcS.d which does have S10mountvirtfs and other such intriguing names, and that disconnect is NOT my doing! ;-) I think I need to add a final script to Ch8 called fixups, for such things, where I can simply rename it. AND HOW DO I TURN OFF THE BLOODY TIMESTAMPS? I hate them! One reason I've never cottoned onto the Debian style systems! What the hell good are they? I DON'T CARE how long each step takes! Useless space wasters! One way or another they are going away! -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: Everything you do communicates.
