Hello All -- just starting with LFS and learning a lot so far. HELLO! Welcome! I have a couple of questions as I start the builds in Ch. 5. 1. many commands have file arguments with relative paths, eg. the very first two commands in Sec. 5.5.1: tar -jxf ../mpfr-3.1.0.tar.bz2 mv -v mpfr-3.1.0

The 'patch' command in the LFS book (Sec. 5.5.1) immediately follows three un-tar operations where the 'root' directories of the three newly-created source trees are renamed to mpfr, gmp, and mpc. I understand that the patchfile (by virtue of its name) has something to do with gcc. But I can't

Hi Bruce, I'm trying desperately to understand. I did read Sec. 5.3 carefully -- I printed it out and read it prior to doing any builds -- but the subsequent build steps don't seem to line up. The tree that I have is: /mnt/lfs/sources # (1) contains downloaded tarballs /mnt/lfs/sources/mpfr

Secondly, there was no 'gcc-4.x.x' directory created from the three un-tar operations in my case (from the V.7.0 LFS commands.) there are 4 untar operation, gcc-4.6.1, mpfr, gmp and mpc. you have to untar gcc-4.6.1 first with: tar xjvf gcc-4.6.1.tar.bz2 the book assume that you unpacked

I'm wondering if some re-wording, and verbose tar is worth considering To re-emphasize the build process: 1 / Place all the sources and patches in a directory that will be accessible from the chroot environment such as /mnt/lfs/sources/. Do not put sources in /mnt/lfs/tools/. 2 / Change to the
