simple and reliable method of doing so. This method also handles the CLFS
build method where the final build may be done on a separate machine.
Q. "When I try to build 'xxx' with clfs the makefile fails at the mid-point"
A. There could be numerous reasons for the failure but the most likely reason
is you are doing a cross-build using the 'chroot' method and the target is
not compatible with the host. If you choose to build using the chroot
method a test is performed at the end of the temptools phase. If the test
succeeds the build continues inside a chroot jail. However if the test fails
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
not the 'chroot.' You must transfer the toolchain to a sparc platform, reboot
the sparc box and continue the build.
Of all the LFS series of books the Cross-LFS requires the greatest
understanding of host/target hardware combination. Please read the book
carefully and don't skip the easy parts (there are none..)
