From Where to start Building Binaries

2005-12-21 Thread Feldmeier Bernd
Hi all, Well, if have a little bit different question. As I dont want to install any development tools in chapter 6 final LFS to keep the rootfs small for embedded purpose, is it okay to always use the /tools toolchain in temp chroot system for e.g. BLFS creation?? l also need to change the

Hi all, as asked before, why dont we devide chapter 6 packages into -- essential / devel (optional) packages?? The devel packages could be a sub chapter of LFS chap 6 and marked as optional install. packages e.g. gcc, perl ... Doing so we can use the temp self hosted chroot chap 5

Hi, Well, Archaic as subjected before we could discuss that. I think it is absolutely not against the goal of LFS, because pointing out how a sane working system can be created has nothing to do with any dev-tools installed. Further more I would like to her some comments from others on this
