[lfs-support] LFS with PAM
Hi all I'm now just building my second LFS 7.6 system where I decided to integrate PAM into the build, to not having to install shadow and libcap twice in order for PAM to work. My order, diverting from the book, was: - ncurses (same) - attr (same) - acl (same) - pam (new) - sed (new) - libcap (new) - shadow (new) - psmisc (old) This got me into an error because PAM requires flex, which is not yet installed. So I moved flex before pam and that seemed to work fine. My question now is: shall a rebuild flex at the usual stage after m4 again? Does the flex build then change because of some optional dependency on flex?

If you're going to install PAM, there's no need to do things the LFS way, then re-install several packages afterwards. I can't remember if the BLFS instructions need modifying much (it's been a long time since I followed the books closely), but it shouldn't be too hard to make any necessary adaptation...

[lfs-support] LFS with PAM
Hi all Thanks first for linux from scratch, I finally also built my first linux from scratch installation. I've got one question: I'd like to have my systems with PAM support, and in order to one the very safe side, have followed the book by first installing lfs without pam and then went to blfs, installed pam and reinstalled shadow and libcap. My question for future installation is: Are there known problems if I integrate pam already in the initial lfs install, not then having to reinstall shadow and libcap. I would then change the lfs installation order to: ... - 6.22. Acl-2.2.52 - 6.23. Linux-PAM-1.1.8 - 6.24. Libcap-2.24 (with instructions from blfs) - 6.25. Sed-4.2.2 - 6.26. Shadow-4.2.1 (with instructions from blfs) ... Is this "supported" as well?
