3. INSTALLATION::
|
||||
|
||||
No installation is required. System-wide installation is not allowed
|
||||
for now.
|
||||
|
||||
4. CONFIGURATION FILES::
|
||||
Each book in the LFS series has its own set of configurable parameters
|
||||
as well as the common parameters file.
|
||||
|
||||
::NEWS:: There is new configuration method for jhalfs.
|
||||
|
||||
We have installed the familiar menu based configuration tool driven by
|
||||
make. If you type the command
|
||||
make
|
||||
you will be presented with a list of configurable parameters (starting
|
||||
with the book you wish to use). All the parameters found in the individual
|
||||
config files are available. Once you have finished setting the parameters
|
||||
and exit the make file will launch the chosen book version of jhalfs.
|
||||
JHALFS will import your created file and overider the values found in normal
|
||||
"config" files.
|
||||
..note.. The generated file <configuration> is only used by jhalfs if you
|
||||
run jhalfs via make otherwise it is ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to try out the new configuration system without running jhalfs
|
||||
issue the following.
|
||||
make menuconfig
|
||||
This will create a new file named configuration but will not launch jhalfs.
|
||||
by GNU make. see the section RUNNING, for details
|
||||
|
||||
5. RUNNING::
|
||||
The script master.sh cannot be invoked directly but only via the
|
||||
supplied symlinks. After editing the config file for the project you wish
|
||||
to build, run the script.
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANT:
|
||||
If you use the switch -M (automatically run the generated makefile) you
|
||||
must be 'root' or you can run the scripts using 'sudo'
|
||||
i.e. sudo ./lfs -G -M
|
||||
::NEWS:: jhalfs is now launched via GNU make instead of individual symlinks.
|
||||
The command <make> will launch a menu based configuration program. You will
|
||||
recognize the layout from bulding the kernel or uClibc/Busybox. The
|
||||
underlying menu code was borrowed from BusyBox and slightly modified for
|
||||
our use.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run make manually you can only do so if you are 'root' or
|
||||
via 'sudo'
|
||||
i.e (from within the jhalfs directory) sudo make
|
||||
Help on parameter function is available from the online help.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have set the parameters you wish and have saved your work the
|
||||
makefile will proceed to launch the jhalfs script. The script validate and
|
||||
present you with your selections which you may accept or reject.
|
||||
|
||||
If you accepted the displayed settings jhalfs will proceed to create the
|
||||
makefile, optionally download packages.
|
||||
|
||||
The term <symlink> refers to the 1 of 3 package symlinks, lfs,hlfs,clfs.
|
||||
Replace <symlink> with your choice of packages; i.e.: ./lfs
|
||||
|
||||
./<symlink> eg: ./lfs or ./hlfs
|
||||
Create a makefile based on the settings found in the config files.
|
||||
You must enter the build partition/jhalfs directory and manually run <make>
|
||||
|
||||
./<symlink> -G eg: ./lfs -G
|
||||
Download the packages and patches necessary to build <symlink>
|
||||
|
||||
./<symlink> -G -M eg: ./lfs -G -M
|
||||
Download the packages, create and automatically run the Makefile
|
||||
|
||||
./<symlink> --help eg: ./lfs --help
|
||||
will give you a context sensitive list of command line switches.

export SRC_ARCHIVE=/mnt/SourceFiles
|
||||
|
||||
./lfs -D /mnt/partition4 \

explanation:::
|
||||
|
||||
export SRC_ARCHIVE=/mnt/SourceFiles
|
||||
# This points to a local archive of existing packages. If the version in
|
||||
the archive is incorrect jhalfs will access the net and download the
|
||||
necessary version and store it here for later use. DO NOT set this to
|
||||
$BUILDDIR/sources. If you do not set this variable to a valid directory
|
||||
ALL package tarballs will be downloaded from the 'net.
|
||||
|
||||
-D /mnt/partition4
|
||||
# where everything takes place. ..NOTE it must already exist and be mounted
|
||||
|
||||
-K ~/jhalfs_configs/linux-2.6.16.19-LFS.config
|
||||
# If you want to automatically build a the kernel you MUST supply a valid
|
||||
kernel configuration file. The file you supply will be copied and renamed.
|
||||
|
||||
-F ~/jhalfs-configs/fstab-sda3
|
||||
# If you have a fstab file you wish to use it will be copied and renamed
|
||||
|
||||
-G # Retrieve the package files. You MUST enable this flag at least once if you
|
||||
wish to do a build or whenever you update the book.
|
||||
|
||||
-T 0 # don't run any testsuites
|
||||
|
||||
-M # automatically run make against Makefile once jhalfs finishes its work.
|
||||
NOTE::
|
||||
If you run the jhalfs script directly the only funcion you can select is to
|
||||
display the version number

A. If you are running jhalfs from a low or non-priveledged account you may not

have the priv to create/delete accounts. These variables are adjustable

when invoking make.

make LUSER=myaccount LGROUP=mygroup

it means the host and target are not compatible an you should use the

'boot' method to create your target code.

As an extreme example: You can build a sparc target on a x86 platform but

only the temptools phase. You must run ./clfs using the 'boot' method and

carefully and don't skip the easy parts (there are none..)
