1. INTRODUCTION::
|
|
|
|
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 an 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
|
|
which, if used, will override the config file settings.
|
|
|
|
NOTES::
|
|
*. The resulting Makefile takes considerable time to run to completion.
|
|
Lay in a supply of caffeine beverages.
|
|
|
|
*. It is recommended that you temporarily unpack your linux kernel,
|
|
run <make menuconfig>, configure the kernel as per the book and save
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2. INSTALLATION::
|
|
No installation is required. System-wide installation is not allowed
|
|
for now.
|
|
|
|
3. CONFIGURATION FILES::
|
|
Each book in the LFS series has its own set of configurable parameters
|
|
as well as the common parameters file.
|
|
|
|
4. 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.
|
|
|
|
The term <symlink> refers to the 1 of 4 package symlinks, lfs,hlfs,clfs,blfs.
|
|
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.

6. FAQ::
|
|
Q. "It doesn't work!"
|
|
A. Yes it does, try ./lfs --help
|
|
|
|
Q. "How do I specify the build location?"
|
|
A. The original LFS document worked against the well know location /mnt/lfs.
|
|
This script automates the build of all of the LFS series of books and uses
|
|
a generic location $BUILDDIR with a default value a /mnt/build_dir.
|
|
You may change this value to suit your needs.
|
|
|
|
The layout below $BUILDDIR is as follows.
|
|
$BUILDDIR/
|
|
jhalfs (makefile,cmd scripts,logs..etc)
|
|
sources (where packages reside)
|
|
temptools (temporary bootstrap system)
|
|
cross-tools (temporary CLFS only)
|
|
...
|
|
FHS dir structure
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Q. "What is the function of the SRC_ARCHIVE variable?"
|
|
A. When then symlinked master.sh runs it creates a local copy of the
|
|
necessary packages in BUILDDIR/sources by downloading the files. If
|
|
the variable SRC_ARCHIVE is defined the software will first look in
|
|
this location for the file and, if found, will copy it to BUILDDIR/sources.
|
|
If the files are not found in SRC_ARCHIVE _and_ you have write priv to
|
|
the directory any downloaded files will be mirrored there.
|
|
|
|
Q. "How do I set the SRC_ARCHIVE location?"
|
|
A. The best way to set the value of SRC_ARCHIVE is
|
|
export SRC_ARCHIVE=/wherever/you/store/downloaded/packages
|
|
OR
|
|
you can change the setting in .common/config.
|
|
|
|
Q. "Why have 2 copies of the files?"
|
|
A. The package files must be visible during the chroot phase and this is a
|
|
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.
