There is a persistant problem with failing autoconf tests, and since these can
often be quietly replaced by gnu-lib we often don't realize it.
These failed ./configure tests are sometimes from new Glibc

screwing up tests,

I dunno if any of you have tried it, but we can use nobody for the Coreutils
tests. Add "nogroup" and "nobody" to /etc/group, and "nobody" in /etc/passwd
in the "nobody" group. For the src/su command, add '-s /bin/sh' so
that /bin/false won't be used.
I'd also like to suggest we use /sbin/nolog
This thread is the same as what you're asking about:

It says to run 'paxctl -spm' on the program and libraries, but it sounds like
you tried that.

Hi. I'm not sure about FHS compliance or whatever, but Vim is the only
interactive editor we have in the base system. Other than Sed and Awk there
isn't really any way to edit any system files unless /usr is mounted.
If we had Ed it might be a different story, but I think Vim should be

Hi. In chapter06/createfiles.html this:

isn't right. The template, according to 'man 5 passwd', is:

We should have:

The md5sum was wrong, that may be why it wasn't put in patches/hlfs/svn/. I

There are now 5 patches in:

Maybe its worth combining them.

The new Inetutils installs 'ping6'. Maybe add it to the list of contents.

I noticed -O3 causes tests to fail, too, with binutils-2.17.

Silencing the warnings in many packages doesn't have to be left to
maintainers, and often isn't very complicated. I've had to learn to figure
this out for myself, and I'm writting this to hopefully help others learn
this faster, smoother, and with less aggravation (I'll add something like

I'm considering adding an HLFS/scripts, or maybe HLFS/extra, directory to svn,
but I'm not sure the consequences of that (I'm not aware of how mirrors would
deal with it). A core-system testsuite more comprehensive than paxtest is on
my todo list, and it would belong in a trunk subdir (like LFS
It shouldn't be hard to remove libcrypt from glibc, I think ./configure will
do it. If libcrypto can replace it, then OpenSSL can probably be installed
right after Zlib, and maybe Zlib can be moved up before Coreutils.

Tested on LFS w/ gcc-4.1.1, and Debian w/ gcc-3.3.6. I want to add warnings
and assertions. The docs need to be finished too, including the man page. And
a testsuite would be nice.

I like it. It works well. Thanks.
Is it practical to add a --selftest option which checks known values, to make
sure it's working? Also, maybe add openssl's version to --version?
