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 kernal 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>
|
|
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
|
|
Download the packages and patches necessary to build <symlink>
|
|
|
|
./<symlink> -G -M
|
|
Download the packages, create and automatically run the Makefile
|
|
|
|
./<symlink> --help will give you a context sensitive list of command
|
|
line switches.
