IIRC will the headers_install target wipe out INSTALL_HDR_PATH prior to installing the headers, which is Ungood[tm] for /usr/include. At least at some point I think headers_install depended on headers_check; if that's still the case perhaps that step could be left out. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
