I think that there's a small problem with installation of chapter 10
Linux-Libc-Headers-2.6.12.0 installation.
I creates a the file /usr/include/linux/config.h with the lines:
#error "Compilation aborted. Please read the FAQ for
linux-libc-headers package."
#error "(can be found at
http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/doc/)"
The FAQ says that most users want to empty this file but in gentoo
and my older LFS 4 build I've this in the config.h
#ifndef _LINUX_CONFIG_H
#define _LINUX_CONFIG_H
#include <linux/autoconf.h>
#endif
This config.h and autoconf.h come from the kernel build.
Question is what to do, empty or copy these two files from the
kernel build.
TIA

BTW only noticed this when building Xorg.
Hi
you should copy these files from your kernel-build.
Bullshit. You should never copy the raw headers from your kernel. You
should have followed the instructions for installing xorg in BLFS.
Xorg wouldn't be looking for the kernel headers at all if you'd used
the command
sed -i -e "[EMAIL PROTECTED] <linux/config.h>@/* & */@" \
`grep -lr linux/config.h *`
The xorg error really not relevant because if LFS did ">
/usr/include/linux/config.h" after installing the linux-libc-headers
then xorg would not need the sed. What about other packages that may try
including linux/config.h, wouldn't they also need to be patched?
So the cleanest thing would be to do as the FAQ says and empty
linux/config.h.
