Hey All, Just thought I'd share something with you all in case any of you find it useful. I've set up a script on my server, to be run via a cron job, that will automatically build chapter 5 of the LFS book if it finds that there have been any changes to that section since the last time the script was run.
Personally, I find it a bit cumbersome and annoying these days to have to trudge through (or wait approx six hours for) a base LFS build. So by having my server build a set of tools automatically, I'll always have an up-to-date, by-the-book set of temporary tools available to start from, and I can cut down my build time by a good deal. My server is an AMD Athlon, and since the commands are extracted similarly to jhalfs (I use an updated version of my alfs-POC parser) no optimizations are used. Therefore, the tools should work for any i686 machine. The tools will be available here if anyone wants to make use of them: http://www.jenacon.net/lfs-tools/ If anyone's interested, I can go into the details of how exactly they're made. As I said, it's similar to jhalfs, but not as bulky. :) -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
