- <para>This chapter shows how to build a minimal Linux system.
|
|
|
- This system will contain just enough tools to start constructing the final
|
|
|
- LFS system in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/> and allow a working
|
|
|
- environment with more user convenience than a minimum environment would.</para>
|
|
|
+ <para>This chapter shows how to build a cross-compiler and its associated
|
|
|
+ tools. Although here cross-compilation is faked, the principles are
|
|
|
+ the same as for a real cross-toolchain, and are detailed in the next
|
|
|
+ section.</para>
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ <para>The programs compiled in this chapter will be installed under the
|
|
|
+ <filename class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename> directory to keep them
|
|
|
+ separate from the files installed in the following chapters. The libraries,
|
|
|
+ on the other hand, are installed into their final place, since they pertain
|
|
|
+ to the system we want to build.</para>

|
|
- <para>There are two steps in building this minimal system. The first step
|
|
|
- is to build a new and host-independent toolchain (compiler, assembler,
|
|
|
- linker, libraries, and a few useful utilities). The second step uses this
|
|
|
- toolchain to build the other essential tools.</para>

|
|
|
- we do not want them to pollute the soon-to-be LFS system.</para>
