In theory, the same way as in LFS, but using the LFS version for which the book is targetted (so, supposedly 6.4 at the moment, with gcc-4.3 not 4.4.). In practice, I've never found the (small) figures are necessarily consistent, so if I'm editing and an SBU is different from mine but not manifestly wrong I'll leave it. I think other editors have taken a different view, hence the small SBUs recorded to 2 places of decimals. Usually, it's better for a reporter to leave the calculation - if I accept a ticket, I'll build the package (often several times) and form a view of the time and space required, and I'm sure the other editors will do likewise. Of course, things get harder when there are a lot of optional dependencies. ĸen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
