Scripting root operations

2009-02-28 Thread Matthew Burgess
Hi all, "Notes on Building Software" in BLFS recommends, quite rightly, that readers should do as little as possible as 'root', and only use superuser privs for operations that require them (e.g. 'make install'). And, as this is *LFS I have chosen to ignore that advice up until now and keep all t

libusb-compat requires pkg-config

2009-02-28 Thread Matthew Burgess
