Hi all
I am just in the process of building lfs 8.0 and came across the
situation that binutils seems to link against flex if available, but
is compiled before it.
Would there be a problem if I compile flex before binutils? This would
allow me to get the same results later if I recompile binutils when
flex is available.
Or is there a good reason why flex has to be done later?
Cheers
Tim
Hi Tim,
LFS is a learning-experiment, so just try to compile flex, before you
compile binutils :)
If it fails, you could always re-compile binutils, after the flex install.
You'll come across many situations with circular-dependencies when you
venture into the BLFS-Part - best advice is keep trying :)
Best regards
Michael
