Anyone ever built a LFS (Linux from scratch) build to completition?
Not like I need yet another thing to do. Several other projects I've hit
minor road blocks on, so they are resting for a period. I'm > 50% through
building all the major pieces of software for LFS now. The excitement is
mounting...
Can't say that this is something I'd run for everyday use as the time
commitment to build is high. What a great learning experiance though. Much
of it is redundant, extract archive, configure, make, make check, make
install, over and over. Hidden within there is some great tidbits. Several
of the things I've learned on libraries and the way gcc, linker, and the
loader handle libraries would have saved me countless hours when at MSC.
The ironic thing is Chuck and I always deemed the Solaris there GNU Solaris
after software was installed and things were configured. Much of what I've
done with LFS I did while at MSC. Solaris still seems to be to be a more
difficult platform to build for. Mostly due to the linker and the way their
dynamic loader works.
