This is a WIP build framework for the awesome Linux from Scratch project. The goal is to provide an automated way to build the initial system and get a working bootable disk. The host target is currently Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as a known good host.
A further goal will be to use the built Python framework to also manage packages for BLFS too.
Building
- Mount drive
- make sure $LFS and $LFS_TGT are defined in the env
- link $LFS/tools to /tools
- add /tools/bin to the path
- fix /bin/sh symlink
sudo update-alternatives --install /bin/sh sh /bin/bash 100 - check versions with supplied script
- install build-essential, gawk, texinfo, bison, git
- install python packages pyyaml, docopt
./bin lfsbuild bootstrap-build-system
Additions
During the temp system install a few extras are needed to run the build system. The list below are packages added to the temp systme built in chapter 5:
- temp-python-setuptools-33.1.1
- temp-python-docopt-0.6.2
- temp-python-pyyaml-3.12
- temp-pull-lfsbuild (pulls a copy of the framework into our env)
Current issues
- Test suite fails for temp diffutils-3.5 build when bootstrapping
- Build and test suite fails for temp file-5.29 util build when bootstrapping (zlib related) The only way I could fix this was to add a zlib build to the temp system. This seems to work fine and all the libs and bins have the correct signatures etc.
- Test suite fails for temp gawk-4.1.4 util build when bootstrapping (locale related)
- Error building Util-linux-2.29 with udev support. Had to disable in the configure opts.
- The optional bin strip currently does not work but is not an issue.
