I haven't run jhalfs for a few weeks, and that was only on a clfs first-stage cross-build for a different architecture, but it seemed to be reasonably well documented. One or two things needed a little experimentation (e.g. setting up the user in menuconfig, and in sudo), but I eventually got it to complete the cross-compile, which was all I wanted. Using it on LFS should be simpler - get the svn source, make sure the user (lfs) can write and execute on the filesystem you are building on, make menuconfig, change to the jhalfs directory, and then run the command. Your error message isn't meaningful to me - you need to look at line 39 of the jhalfs script which was created by menuconfig, maybe one of your choices in menuconfig was wrong. All tools have a tendency to do the wrong thing when they get unexpected input. If you've snipped contextual information from the error message, it might be line 39 in a different file. If you can't work it out, I guess alfs-discuss is the appropriate place to ask. If you aren't comfortable with reading Makefiles and shell scripts (and that's what your question suggests, because you seem not to have looked at what was on the line in question), jhalfs might not be the right tool for you at the moment. If that is the case, perhaps 'info make', 'man bash', and trying to write some simple shell scripts and Makefiles will further your education. As with all tools, you need to learn how to use them. Good luck! ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
