|
|
-<para>When you are logged in as root during Chapter 5, it is possible
|
|
|
-that some files of your host system will be overwritten by the ones
|
|
|
-you'll build in Chapter 5. There can be all kinds of reasons for this
|
|
|
-to happen, for example because the $LFS environment variable is not
|
|
|
-set. Overwriting some files from your host system will most likely
|
|
|
-cause all kinds of problems, so it's a good idea to be logged in as
|
|
|
-an unprivileged user during Chapter 5. To make sure the environment
|
|
|
-is as clean as possible, we'll create a new user "lfs" that can be
|
|
|
-used while building the static installation. Issuing the following
|
|
|
-commands as root will create a new user "lfs":</para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para><screen><userinput>useradd -s /bin/bash -m lfs &&
|
|
|
-passwd lfs</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para>Now we need to give proper permissions to the <filename
|
|
|
-class="directory">$LFS/static</filename> directory so user "lfs" can write
|
|
|
-to it:</para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para><screen><userinput>chown -R lfs $LFS/static</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para>You have to login as user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> now to continue
|
|
|
-with the rest of this chapter. You can do this two ways: either the normal
|
|
|
-way through the console or the display manager, or with
|
|
|
-<userinput>su - lfs</userinput>. When you're working as user
|
|
|
-<emphasis>lfs</emphasis>, type the following commands to set up a good
|
|
|
-environment to work in:</para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para><screen><userinput>cat > ~lfs/.bash_profile << "EOF"
|
|
|
-umask 022
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-LFS=/mnt/lfs
|
|
|
-LC_ALL=POSIX
|
|
|
-CC='gcc -s'
|
|
|
-export LFS LC_ALL CC
|
|
|
-EOF
|
|
|
-source ~/.bash_profile</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para>This profile makes sure the umask is set to 022 so newly created
|
|
|
-files and directories will have the correct permissions. It is advisable
|
|
|
-to keep this setting throughout your LFS installation. Also, the $LFS,
|
|
|
-$LC_ALL, and $CC environment variables are set. $LFS has been explained
|
|
|
-in previous chapters already. $LC_ALL is a variable that is used for
|
|
|
-internationalization.</para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para>When your host distribution uses a glibc version older than 2.2.4,
|
|
|
-having $LC_ALL set to something other than "C" or "POSIX" while working
|
|
|
-through Chapter 5 may cause trouble when you exit the chroot environment
|
|
|
-of Chapter 6 and try to return to it. By setting this to "POSIX" ("C"
|
|
|
-is an alias for "POSIX") we ensure that everything will work as expected
|
|
|
-in the chroot environment.</para>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<para>$CC is a variable we set in order to prevent debugging symbols from
|
|
|
-being compiled into our static packages. By omitting these symbols during
|
|
|
-the linking stage of compilation, we save hard drive space and decrease
|
|
|
-our build time.</para>
