Good morning. Toolchain finished: Book followed: LFS-SVN-20061201. Variations: Linux-Headers: 2.6.19; Binutils-2.17.50-20061129; Glibc-2.5.90; Gcc-4.3.0-20061205. Perl-5.8.8 slightly modified because of Autoconf-2.61 and Gcc-4.3.0. Packages added to toolchain: Autoconf-2.61; Autogen-5.8.7; Au

Unnable to do ICA/farce comparative builds

Hi, Doing yesterday a SVN-20061201 build to test current ICA/farce support in jhalfs I found that the first iterative build of Glibc fails at the configure stage with that: === ./configure output fragment checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C preprocessor

2006-12-06 Thread Alexander E. Patrakov
Hello, I really dislike the situation that, due to effectively-dead BLFS, LFS doesn't get enough testing of its headers. E.g., reiserfsprogs need asm/unaligned.h, and because of this, LiveCD trunk is broken. In order to enhance testing, I propose to create a "dvd" branch in the LiveCD reposi

Hello, This is a formal request to either integrate Tushar's hint on installing multiple versions of autotools into the LFS book, or move autotools to BLFS and integrate the hint there. The rationale is that the current LFS SVN versions of autotools are incompatible with enough BLFS and BBLFS
