- Editing the generated build scripts to make any change you would.
This is the method discussed below.
(TO BE WRITTEN)
EDITING THE BASE SCRIPTS
Fisrt step is to generate the build scripts with book defaults. To do that,
configure jhalfs activating any option you want included, but do not select
"Run the Makefile" option.
Under the ${BUILD_DIR}/${SCRIPT_ROOT}/${PROGNAME}-commands directory
(using the defaults values to do an LFS build, that directory name is
/mnt/build_dir/jhalfs/lfs-commands) you will find the default build scripts.
If all you want is modify, add, or remove some command from a package
installation, for example to change it ./configure line, just edit the related
script. If changing or adding a patch, be sure to copy the new patch to the
${BUILD_DIR}/sources directory. When done, run 'make' from inside the
${BUILD_DIR}/${SCRIPT_ROOT} directory.
REPLACING OR INSERTING PACKAGES AND CHANGING BUILD ORDER
To remove a package from the system, just remove its script(s).
To change the version of some package to build a newest or oldest one than the
one found in the book, edit ${BUILD_DIR}/${SCRIPT_ROOT}/pkg_tarball_list to
change it tarball name and place the new tarball in the ${BUILD_DIR}/sources
directory,
To replace a package by an equivalent one, rename the replaced package script
to reflect the new package name (for example, 102-man-db -> 102-man), edit the
script to made the required commands changes, place the new tarball in the
${BUILD_DIR}/sources directory, and edit ${BUILD_DIR}/${SCRIPT_ROOT}/pkg_tarball_list
file to replace the removed package tarball name by the new package tarball name.
To change the build order, rename the scripts changing the first 3-digits
string until have it ordered in the way you want.
To insert a new package, for example to build Cracklib to can build Shadow
with Cracklib support, first you should decide before what default package it
need be installed, in this example before 107-shadow. Then create a new script
containg the needed commands, using an existing one as template, and name it with
the same 3-digits string used for that mentioned default package, but adding
another 1-digit string. In our example, the new script to build Cracklib just
before Shadow will be named 107-1-cracklib. This naming schema allow to insert
up to 10 scripts before each one of the default scripts. Place the tarball for
the new package and required patches, if any, if ${BUILD_DIR}/sources and edit
${BUILD_DIR}/${SCRIPT_ROOT}/pkg_tarball_list to add the tarball name for that
package.
When ready, launch again the jhalfs configuration interface. Be sure that
are selected exactly the same options than when generating the default build
scripts. Be sure that "Rebuild files" is unselected and select "Run the Makefile"
if you want. Then select "Rebuild the Makefile". This will create a new Makefile
based on the changes you made to the build scripts.
