Hi!
Okay, I know, wierd subject line, but what I'm trying to accomplish is
this:
Currently, I build my LFS system from a set of scripts; usually, it's just
a matter of a '# make lfs' before I go to sleep, and when I wake up,
there's a shiny new LFS system, configured and ready to go for me. However,
when there's a problem, like an incompatible new version of something on
the toolchain, I get an error, and the night was wasted.
So, I propose to build my LFS system on another machine, which is an SGI
64-way server running IRIX6 (mips). With parallel compiling, I'm guessing
that it will cut the build time by maybe 10x. I can the tar it up, and load
it on my machine.
So far, I've already built gcc on it to compile some other stuff, and it's
working out great.
Problems:
- Server is not running linux
- I have no root access, and therefore no chroot access
Can this still be done? What parts do I need to modify?
Thanks,
Michael
You will need to look at the testing version of the cross-lfs book. You
can view it at http://documents.jg555.com/cross-lfs or
