We can do that, but I have developed a workaround. We need to do the following in all three builds of gcc: sed -i -e 's/BUILD_INFO=info/BUILD_INFO=/' gcc/configure This just omits the gcc*.info files (3 files) and avoids building the useless info files in Chapter 5. texinfo-5.0 also breaks inetutils. To work around that, we need to remove: make -C doc html make -C doc install-html docdir=/usr/share/doc/inetutils-1.9.1 That removes about 40 html files, many of them obsolete or rendered incorrectly. For instance: TCPMUX.html, Built_002din-services.html, inetd-invocation.html, uucpd-invocation.html, and The-_002enetrc-File.html. man pages are still available for at least the programs we need. Otherwise, I've done a full LFS build and the only test failures are in 079-gcc:FAIL: 22_locale/time_get/get_weekday/char/38081-2.c 079-gcc:FAIL: libmudflap.c++/pass55-frag.cxx -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [lfs-dev] Systemd branch created
Yeah, I think there were a couple of things out of place or missing. It's been a while since I compiled LFS so was sort of fuddling through it anyway. The post-LFS hint the and how-to someone posted in the blfs mailing list helped a lot. I'm about to try it again, this time in 32-bit. I'll write a log as I do and see if I can come up with some constructive feedback.

Sounds good. I think I've tried to use 'info' twice, both of which were absolutely unsuccessful. These days, if a man page doesn't tell me what I need to know, google normally does. Whilst it is handy to have complete documentation available offline, it's no longer the hard requirement it used to be.
