No it doesn't: it says 'mkdir -v ../gcc-build' ; gcc-pass2 says same. Binutils-pass1 says 'mkdir -v ../binutils-build' ; binutils-pass2 says same. > then in 5.9. Binutils-2.24 - Pass 2, the book reads "Create a separate > build directory again: mkdir -v ../binutils-build". > > There is confusion about whether the binutils-build directory created in > pass 1 should be removed before pass 2, or if it's OK to do pass 2 with > the existing binutils-build from pass 1. > > Thank you, > You might get away with it if you have left the respective '../____-build' directories _completely_ empty between their respective pass1 & pass2. But to be on safe side - you're building particularly intricate and interrelated software at especially that stage of the book - , follow the book: ==== Ref: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter05/generalinstructions.html#buildinstr Per that ref, "Unless instructed otherwise": After each package page, remove the unpacked/untarred source directory (and thus all of its contents too; and thus also anything that has been generated inside it during the configure/build/install), and any separate build directory (and thus all of its contents too). So for (the spirit of) your particular question: remove those '../____-build' directories after their pass1, and make fresh dir at each respective pass2. ==== rgds, akh > > -- > Waitman Gobble > San Jose California USA > +1.510-830-7975 > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page > -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
