I have successfully built, installed and ran LFS-7.2 on i686 and x_86_64 platforms pretty much using the books instructions. The only changes were very small to incorporate a package manager, nothing major.
I only thing I had a problem on was udev in which I had to add -ludev-local.a to LDFLAGS. In chapter 8.3. Linux-3.5.2I have used make defconfig in the kernel build process although I needed to use this patch I generated, which adds devtmpfs as it isn't selected in the defconfig configuration. --- /mnt/lfs/boot/config-3.2.6 2012-09-03 10:50:25.000000000 -0400 +++ .config 2012-09-03 12:32:44.224323551 -0400 @@ -862,7 +862,8 @@ # Generic Driver Options # CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug" -# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not set +CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y +CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y CONFIG_STANDALONE=y CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y I can safely say that the books instructions are correct and will result in a working system if properly followed. Thanks every one for your hard work! After some cleanup work I shall proceed to BLFS-SVN in the time frame of next week. I just may get a home brew system finished after all ;) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
