This collection of scripts, known as jhalfs-X, strives to create
accurate makefiles from the Linux From Scratch book series XML files.
This software is a evolution of the original "jhalfs" code.

The usage of this script assumes you have read and are familiar with
the book(s) and therefore the configuration variables found in config files
will have meaning to you. There are a number of command line switches

files will have meaning to you. There are a number of command line switches
which, if used, will override the config file settings.

*. It is recommended that you temporarily unpack your linux kernel,
run <make menuconfig>, configure the kernal as per the book and save
the resulting .config file. This configuration rule also applies to the
the resulting .config file. This suggestion also applies to the
configuration of the uClibc package when building a HLFS system using
uClibc rather than glibc.
