Not the case here. root user installs them with permissions of the user that built the package (i.e., the Firefox package installation is broken at the upstream level). Personally, I don't have any belief that sudo is useful for an LFS user. For someone maintaining a production system, with strong restrictions on what they can do, yes there is a use for it. But having tried it while I was reworking my own buildscripts, it's too easy to change it so that your user can do anything, and to allow that with only a password on the first use during the current session. We sure do have opposing opinions on that one, Ken. :-) I use sudo in my scripts so that I am certain that nothing gets installed in /usr unless I know about it. I always install a package as an unprivileged user to DESTDIR if I am unfamiliar with it before doing it for real by the root user. sudo works great for me. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: Fakeroot Fakechroot
Murdok Petrovsky wrote these words on 07/03/11 13:15 CST: I'm trying to build a script for uninstall packages, for this i need build a list with files and path of files installed, well my best solution is use fakeroot or fakechroot, i don't want use make DESTDIR install because some packages don't support it like GLIBC. Just for the record, GLIBC does support a DESTDIR installation, only you must use 'make install_root=DESTDIR install' (DESTDIR is whatever location you desire). Almost all packages support a DESTDIR installation in one way or another. The only issue is you need to run the 'make install DESTDIR=whatever command as root, or unexpected things occur. Things such as some files not being created (GTK+, for example), SETUID/SETGID are not set properly, ownerships are not set properly, etc. The only problem with the make install as root is very rarely, the install target does not completely honor the DESTDIR location, and installs the file into /usr (or whatever prefix you choose). This is no issue for me, as I check to see if a file exists before I do the copy from the the DESTDIR location to the final destination. If it exists, I find out why (if I am not already expecting it). My Package Management solution uses DESTDIR and does everything I need (which are all the things you describe). I can uninstall a package using a simple command (though I would never uninstall GLIBC as you mention and Andy also recommends to avoid doing). I've downloaded and installed fakeroot and fakechroot.

Actually, the output of ldd is quite meaningless for determining if Firefox is using it directly. For example, if you compile GTK+ wit libpng, the output of a GTK+ binary will have libpng included. Then, if you use the system GTK+ during compilation of Firefox, the ldd output of the Firefox binary will also have libpng included, even if you used an internal version of libpng that ships with Firefox (not sure if it does, this is simply an example). So, bottom line, ldd should never be used to determine if a library was linked in directly to some binary. It *can* be used, but it is a very unreliable method of determining what was linked in during compilation. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: one more thing: linux-pam and shadow
bendeguz wrote these words on 11/22/10 07:19 CST:
I had installed linux-pam, as it is suggested
in the book, and then rebuilt shadow.
the book says:
mv -v /lib/libpam{,c,_misc}.la /usr/lib: This command
moves the Libtool library files to /usr/lib as they
are expected to reside there.
I couldn't force shadow to find the libs in
/usr/lib. It said - as I can remember - a few
warnings about libpam.la has moved to /usr/lib.
Then an error message of missing /lib/libpam.la .
As a workaround I made a symlink to the library in
/lib .
Do you have better ideas?
Yes, provide us the exact error message you get, and the
exact command you gave that produced the error. I just
installed PAM and a reinstall of Shadow not too long ago
and I had no problems.
It is important: the *exact* command you gave, and the *exact*
error message.

Re: bdb version ?
Mike Hollis wrote these words on 11/18/10 15:25 CST:
The above ticket mentioned db-4.8.30 as a solution. I saw that the
ticket was recently updated , and followed the links and noted
db-5.1.19 was being considered but may have some issues with Cyrus-SASL.
I have a patch that will allow cyrus to build. Builds fine, but I haven't
actually used cyrus for any authentication yet. It'll probably be fine,
time will tell. I've attached the patch.
I'm thinking of starting a new devel LFS build. I've been lazy and
using jhalfs so I think I'll do a manual build and try db-5.1.19 .
Db-4.5.20 is already linked to far too many packages to backtrack on
this build.
I recently started a new build and have used BDB-5.1 and OpenSSL-1.0.0
since the beginning and haven't run into anything I couldn't handle
so far.
I am pretty unfamilar with TRAC. What does milestone changed from
future to 6.7 mean ? I will guess that the next release version
of BLFS will be 6.7 and the package will be used in that release.
Yes, that is the goal. We are trying to get a release out soon with
the target platform as LFS-6.7, so we keep the BLFS version the same.
Hence, the future to 6.7 updates. So far it looks okay. I've tested
BDB with many packages so far, without any issues. LDAP's database
is fine, sendmail's alias database is fine, etc.
I ran a few batch updates to the Trac tickets to remove all the
6.5 milestones and either batch updated to future or 6.7, which
we are hoping to release rather soon. I know I'm working as fast
as I can, but my time each day is limited. Ken is doing a great
job, and DJ will be picking it up here soon (or so he mentioned).
I'd like to get as many folks working on it as possible so we can
do a release soon.

I haven't finished yet, but here are some comments up to now. I have not gone through the archives to check if any of these issues have been raised. Should any be of my doing, resolved, reported or otherwise, I sincerely apologise. Using LFS-6.7 and blfs-svn-2010-11-13 First some typos: I will catch these right now. Other issues in no particular order. TeTeX: This package is no longer being maintained. There is no problem as it stands, except that the check aborts because the packaged sources are more than 5 years old. This is easily hacked. I use LaTex a lot (I lecture physics) and pretty much everything in TeTeX is still ok, there is no issue updating style files from CTAN for the odd package that has since acquired extra functionality (most notably pstricks). Most distros go with TeXLive. I don't have internet at home so TeXLive is a bit impractical. I will be investigating a means of ripping the packaged sources from somewhere. I think the entire bundle is a dvd's worth, which is also impractical and certainly no needed. TeXLive is distributed as a xz compressed archive. Perhaps xz and 7z can get a mention somewhere? XZ is going into the book to replace lzma. I am working on TeXLive right now. I hope to have a functional built-from-source setup in the book real soon. I will also look at all the others as well.

It has nothing to do with BDB. I don't run the tests on that package either. I guess why this hasn't been noticed is because both Apache and Svn work fine without BDB and the only people who need this functionality are those running Svn servers that rely on BDB repositories. That is correct. I'm about at the end of my expertise here, but will try again if it can be sorted out. All I know is that it works for me. You saw that when I sent the email with my installed libs.

Re: Finally got Python to work with Openssl

I had Openssl installed, but whenever I used any software, where Python was called on to use md5 I'd get errors. This stopped from building several packages that I wanted. The fix is to go into the source directory of Python and edit Modules/Setup (or Steup.dist on a fresh build) and uncomment out a few lines.

I'll try to address several of the items in this thread in this one single reply. First, to Ag, I didn't say we would never release again. It is just getting Editor's to do the work, which we haven't had a lot of lately. I really would like to get a version out that is compatible with LFS-6.5. We may even be close. I can do the release management stuff, it is simple and not time consuming. But we need to get the book in a state where things are stable. Right now, GNOME is almost there. X has some changes that need to be done. I'm currently doing many packages. I can actually see a release happening. Next, about the idea of breaking the book up and letting the community do the work. That is what the Wiki is for, so I am against breaking up the book. Next, about the moving target. As soon as we release, we have a stable combination of LFS-6.5 and BLFS-6.5. It should be rock solid. Next, someone is worrying about LFS releasing with GCC-4.4. So what? Current development LFS is so bleeding edge, I'd bet there is no distro as current as LFS development. People, you don't need to move to the most current version of a package as soon as it is released. I am building up a LFS-6.5, BLFS-6.5 (soon to be) combination for production use. I will use that for a year or two as it is good enough and will be very stable.

Re: non mentioned dependencies
Dominic Ringuet wrote: I want to confirm with somebody else first, is it possible that: xcb-proto requires python x7server requires openssl seamonkey requires updates from 1.1.9 to 1.1.17? I'm not sure about those, but if your build is bombing out with them not installed, and it works with them installed, then it is likely they have been overlooked. IMO, the book needs to be fixed, so is there an official process to follow to be able to maintain the development BLFS book? (a wiki? a svn account?) We use SVN as the repository for the actual XML files of the book. I volunteer. It takes just a bit more than that. Please send in some patches to update the book where you believe it is necessary.

I'm willing to discuss my role as Editor of the book, if there is concern in the community. Again, I cannot promise that I can contribute as an active developer.

BLFS 6.3 generally does not work with LFS 6.4 - the versions need to match. Since there is not yet a BLFS 6.4, you need to use BLFS Development. Thanks, Chris.

Re: GDM install error
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was actually installing without scrollkeeper and was using --disable-scrollkeeper which allowed configure to run through and the error was the same on the book version of 2.18.3 and 2.18.4 so seems even tho scrollkeeper is optional on some stages it really isn't on gdm even though you can disable it and on gdm itself it doesn't state it needs scrollkeeper on the book anyway but in configure it does, guess i'll go give it a try with scrollkeeper installed Replying for the archives, as I want to clarify how the dependencies work. Actually, following the BLFS book, ScrollKeeper is not optional. It is a recommended dependency of GNOME Doc Utils which is required for GDM. There is even a note attached to the GDU instructions that says you *can* install GDU without ScrollKeeper but you will be missing required functionality. So, the BLFS staff expects ScrollKeeper to be installed when you begin the installation of GDM. Dependencies (required by another dependency) are not mentioned again for the sake of redundancy. Hopefully, this clarifies the issue of on gdm itself it doesn't state it needs scrollkeeper on the book anyway but in configure it does. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: Installing HAL
Scott Castaline wrote: [snip total confusion :-)] I'll try and be helpful without sounding condescending. First. You need to get a handle on what packages do, and why they are dependencies of one-another. For example, Doxygen is only used to create API documentation. Chances are, you don't even need it. Without knowing *why* a package is a dependency, you'll be asking questions until the cows come home. Next. Most circular dependencies in BLFS are annotated one way or another. There are actually very few. Read the dependencies *carefully*. Examine what each one does, and how/why it could benefit your installation. If you don't understand what a package does by reading the stuff in BLFS or the stuff on the home page of the package, chances are you don't need it. Next. I build X right off the bat. Expat, then FreeType and Fontconfig, then X (hopefully, I'm not leaving something out). The dependencies for X are very straightforward. As far as D-Bus/Hal, it really isn't that hard. If I remember correctly, there may be a circular dependency, but only for a package that you may not need. I can't recall, and don't have time to go through the BLFS book right now. Use your good judgment, but above all know *why* you are installing each and every package. Simply going through the book blindly installing packages won't give you the knowledge you could get by understanding *what* each package does. Finally, know that you can always go back and install a package again if you later discover you left off a dependency you wish you had installed. It is a learning process. If that learning process is not *fun* to you, you may consider simply going back to a distro. Also I have 4.8 GB left on my drive, will that be enough or should I now plan on making more room? I know it would not be near enough for me. But I keep all source files, and all logs (I don't keep source trees). I usually end up using around 10MB of space for a full BLFS build. But I'm a BLFS dev and I try to install most dependencies simply so I can document and check them out. I don't necessarily use all of them. Keep in mind that if you're going to do any video/audio processing work, or creating DVD's, you'll need much, much more space.

Re: Login Security
Dan Nicholson wrote: The pam system's administrator guide is very helpful. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/Linux-PAM_SAG.html The module pages and some general pam information are available as man pages. See pam(8) and pam_unix(8). The pam_unix page even has a usable example configuration. That said, pam is pretty complex. What has helped me besides reading the documentation is looking at the configuration on the big distros. Since they're distributing to a wide variety of users and settings, they usually have a secure but usable setup. If you have another system around (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.), take a look at their login and passwd settings. Sorry to quote Dan's whole post but it is relevant. Thing that bothers me is that the PAM .so stack that BLFS currently uses is deprecated. Seems creating and using a system-auth (or perhaps auth-system; can't remember) module and config file is the way to go now. I installed PAM yesterday, and Shadow now installs a set of /etc/pam.d files that will lock up the system (of course, I tried to login before doing anything further, as instructed by the BLFS book). This of course is using most recent Shadow and PAM. Anyway, I had to delete all the /etc/pam.d files that Shadow installed and add the files specified by the BLFS book. We've got a lot of work ahead on this one. I'm updating LFS to the most recent Shadow, so BLFS will have to follow. And the instructions will need to change. Anyone with some relevant experience with these newer Shadow and PAM packages should step up and let themselves known. :-) -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

If you can confirm there are no problems when building

then I'd start looking into the PM problem. At least you

That's what I'd do anyway. I'm no guru with strace or
