Hi The explanation in Ch 5 Binutils Pass1 for --disable-nls says:
"This disables internationalization as i18n is not needed for the temporary tools." This is misleading because only the Pass1's of Binutils and GCC are passed `--disable-nls'. For the statement to be accurate, `--disable-nls' would need to be passed to all pkgs during Ch 5 that can handle it. It's a hangover from the days when the Pass1's of Binutils and GCC were statically linked. (NLS was known to break compilation on some hosts when linking statically). You need to either: 1) remove --disable-nls from Pass1's of Binutils and GCC (and explanation). or 2) fix the explanation to reflect reality. or 3) pass --disable-nls to every pkg in Ch 5 that can handle it. <slightly OT> It's possible to disable NLS globally by using a config.site file. I use this technique in the DIY build.. but I suppose it's likely the LFS goals would deem it unsuitable for use in LFS. </slightly OT> Regards Greg -- http://www.diy-linux.org/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
