Hi,
I am new to using LiveCD 6.1 for Linux from scratch. I have gone
through all the chapters and I have done everything that has been
requested. I am a little confused with compiling glibc. I get an error
message that the directory does not exists. I want to know are there
somethings in using the LiveCD 6.1 that is not covered in the
linuxfromscratch pdf?
No, building LFS using the LiveCD should not require anything unusual.
Following the book verbatim should produce good results (and have for
many). The only caveat I can think of is that you *must* mount a hard
drive partition somewhere in the LiveCD's file hierarchy, usually
/mnt/lfs. If you don't, and try to build LFS or unpack tarballs
somewhere in the main tree, you'll run out of memory real quick. Also,
you should copy all the sources from /sources to the hard-drive, so
they'll be available when you chroot.
I have tried several times using the RHEL WS 4.0
as the previous host system. /mnt/lfs is mounted. Do I install
binutils, gcc and glibc as root or lfs? Thanks for your assistance in
advance!
As they say in our IRC channels, fbbg! (Follow Book, Book Good!) The LFS
book tells you when you need to change users and what users run what
commands. Read Carefully. If you run into a problem or don't quite
understand something, most often it's because you missed something
important in the book.
