Once you copy the packages to $LFS/sources, as the lfs user you should probably cd to that directory and 'live' there for the remainder of chapter 5. Every time you begin a section that involves building a package (binutils is the first instance of this in section 5.3.1), you should unpack that package in the sources directory, then cd into the unpacked source _before_ you run any commands in that package's section. So for section 5.3.1 the following order happens (steps 1-3 are implied, but not listed in the book explicitly) 1. cd $LFS/sources 2. tar -xf binutils-2.18.tar.bz2 3. cd binutils-2.18 4. mkdir -v ../binutils-build 5. cd ../binutils-build -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
