I've been trying to get LFS to work with 2.2.16. And so far, I've had no luck. I've used the patches against 2.2.16, found at ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/lfs/lfs-1.2.0.tar.gz which applied cleanly. After building the kernel, and a reboot. I recompiled the libc6 (2.1.3-13) deb with LINUX_SOURCE set to the location of the patched kernel tree. After installing the fresh .deb's and another reboot, I attempted to recompile fileutils (4.0l-8)... However, fileutils configure script does not detect 'large file support.' The relevant lines from the configure script output follow: checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS... 64 checking for _LARGEFILE_SOURCE... no checking for _LARGE_FILES... no Does anyone have LFS working on a potato installation? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
