Hello,
In the first "Important" box in section 5.3, the last item is:
/usr/bin/yacc is a symbolic link to bison or a small script that
executes bison.
In my host system I have the file /usr/bin/yacc but it is not a
symbolic link to anything. I also have the file /usr/bin/bison but it
also is not a link to anything. Please advise on how I can fix this.
Isn't the file /usr/bin/yacc a script? (you can use "file /usr/bin/yacc"
to know the nature of the file, and if it is a shell script, examine
what it contains).
------------------------------
In the second "Important" box in section 5.3, item 3 says that I
should use tar to extract the packages in /mnt/lfs/sources. Am I
reading this right? There are 27 .tar.gz files, 11 .tar.bz2 files and
32 tar.xz packages. Extracting each one from the command line seems
error prone. I am thinking about creating a script that would extract
each package. Is this a good approach?
You extract one package at a time, say, when you are at a "gcc" page,
type "tar -xvf gcc-5.2.0.tar.bz2", then change to the extracted
directory. When the package is built, you change back to the /sources
directory, and remove the extracted directory (rm -rf gcc-5.2.0 gcc-build).
-------------------------------
Also, I had to stop work and shut down my host system. When I
restarted it I had a gdm that displayed my name and the name "lfs". If
I selected "lfs" nothing happened, I was back to the gdm prompt. The
only way I can be user "lfs" is to log in as myself and "su - lfs".
Does this seem OK?
Not sure about this one. Did you set up a password for user lfs?

Pierre
