I meant to have a message posted here before now, but things have been busy. I have been adapting Ryan's methods to LFS because I think that there are certain improvements over what is currently in trunk. Specifically: * No need for ever specifying '-B/tools/lib' * No more need to do a 'post install' adjustment of the toolchain in chapter 5 * No need to patch gcc in pass 2 to revert to previous functionality. The gcc devs have said that the sysroot methodology is the 'correct path forward' for cross compiling. Although the build as a whole is a native build, it relies on cross-compilation early in the game, so making use of the sysroot functionality leaves us where we want to be, now and going forward, I feel. I have not used all of Ryan's configure switches and patches, because I have not seen a need for some things on i686, PowerPC or x86_64 multilib. Adding in the bare necessities illustrates the core changes needed to get this working. I also have only added in what is necessary in chapter 5 up to and including gcc pass 2. If you're doing multilib you'll notice that there is not yet a 32-bit Glibc in chapter 6 added and there are no --libdir=/usr/$LIBDIR switches either. Also, there is some explanatory text missing. But, to give you an idea, here's what I have so far: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~jhuntwork/lfs-multilib/ To me, this is the way forward for 7.0. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
