+ <title>General Compilation Instructions</title>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <para>When building packages there are several assumptions made within
|
|
|
+ the instructions:</para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <itemizedlist>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ <para>Several of the packages are patched before compilation, but only when
|
|
|
+ the patch is needed to circumvent a problem. A patch is often needed in
|
|
|
+ both this and the next chapter, but sometimes in only one or the other.
|
|
|
+ Therefore, do not be concerned if instructions for a downloaded patch seem
|
|
|
+ to be missing. Warning messages about <emphasis>offset</emphasis> or
|
|
|
+ <emphasis>fuzz</emphasis> may also be encountered when applying a patch. Do
|
|
|
+ not worry about these warnings, as the patch was still successfully
|
|
|
+ applied.</para>
|
|
|
+ </listitem>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ <para>During the compilation of most packages, there will be several
|
|
|
+ warnings that scroll by on the screen. These are normal and can safely be
|
|
|
+ ignored. These warnings are as they appear—warnings about
|
|
|
+ deprecated, but not invalid, use of the C or C++ syntax. C standards change
|
|
|
+ fairly often, and some packages still use the older standard. This is not a
|
|
|
+ problem, but does prompt the warning.</para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <important>
|
|
|
+ <para>After installing each package, delete its source and build
|
|
|
+ directories, unless specifically instructed otherwise. Deleting the
|
|
|
+ sources prevents mis-configuration when the same package is reinstalled
|
|
|
+ later.</para>
|
|
|
+ </important>
|
|
|
+ </listitem>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ <para>Check one last time that the <envar>LFS</envar> environment variable
|
|
|
+ is set up properly:</para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<screen role="nodump"><userinput>echo $LFS</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <para>Make sure the output shows the path to the LFS partition's mount
|
|
|
+ point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, using our
|
|
|
+ example.</para>
|

|
|
|
+ <para>Finally, one last important item must be emphasized:</para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <important>
|
|
|
+ <para>Before issuing the build instructions for a package, the package
|
|
|
+ should be unpacked as user <systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem>,
|
|
|
+ and a <command>cd</command> into the created directory should be
|
|
|
+ performed. The build instructions assume that the
|
|
|
+ <command>bash</command> shell is in use.</para>
|
|
|
+ </important>
