Dear Development LFS Book Administrators: I would like to submit for your consideration the following changes to the Section "III. 6.7. Linux-3.12.6 API Headers" of the "Linux From Scratch - Version SVN-20140102" book.
1. After the paragraph " ..: This is done by way of sanitizing various C header files that are shipped in the Linux kernel source tarball.", I would insert: Note: For the meaning of the action "sanitizing" (in this context), run command sh scripts/headers_install.sh | sed s/echo// and in the output read the section between "Prepares " and " keywords." (output, lines 3-6). 2. After section "They are placed in an intermediate local ", I would insert: "subdirectory (named by us, 'dest', in the command below)" 3. After "copied to the needed location", I would change to "copied to the intended user-space standard location, '/usr/include/...' " 4. I would change the command cp -rv dest/include/* /usr/include to cp -prv dest/include/* /usr/include That would synchronize the file times in the '/usr/inlude/' tree to the times of the files created in the kernel directory on running the command 'make headers_install', and not assign them an arbitrary time when I get around to run the copy after taking out the garbage and then getting a well deserved rest before being finally able to complete the procedure :) Thanks, -- Alex
