It seems that, if the commands near the top of the page of "5.2 Embryo Toolchain" as of HLFS version SVN20070901 are entered as is into a Virtual PC hosted by Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (I'm sharing a computer, and it isn't mine) and running off the latest Live CD Image, lfslivecd-x86-6.3-r2052.iso, it seems to result in the gcc-4.1.2 folder itself and the binutils-2.17 folder itself within the embryo-toolchain folder.
Is this intended, or are the contents of the gcc-4.1.2 folder supposed to be placed into the embryo-toolchain folder, and, thereafter the binutils-2.17 folder itself be placed into the embryo-toolchain folder (or did I just enter it wrong and/or am I misunderstanding the process)? I'm going under the assumption that the contents of the gcc-4.1.2 folder were supposed to be placed into the embryo-toolchain folder, since later commands modify files within the contents of the gcc-4.1.2 folder without changing the current directory (but, then again, the book states that we should be familiar with most concepts from LFS, and does seem to assume the user has already followed steps shown and explained in LFS before and after following the instructions on any page). It should be noted that I haven't tried entering the instructions as is to see if it would work; I had followed what I described above as what I believed was the intended result, and it seemed to compile just fine (although, if that's incorrect, I'm sure I'll figure that out soon enough in later steps). Thanks in advance, -Harrison N. P.S. I'll also mention this - on "5.4 Glibc-2.5.1", the command includes "--enable-add-ons" while the explanation includes "--enable-add-ons=linuxthreads". Trying to use the latter will result in an error that the add-on folder "linuxthreads" doesn't exist; it will only compile while using "--enable-add-ons" by itself. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
