As good as this sounds, and as easy as you make it seem, this would never work. :-) There are simply too many dependencies, which the build order cannot be determined, to automate building all of BLFS. Especially the dependencies not having BLFS build instructions. New versions of Jpeg-mmx comes to mind. Many, many others. Greg, I am going out on a limb and saying it cannot be done with the current BLFS book. Not without something else added, which defines the proper build order of dependencies, could something like this even be attempted. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 19:06:01 up 137 days, 18:39, 3 users, load average: 1.20, 0.80, 0.40 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
