[Cucumber-linux-development] LFS ch5 tarball

[Maarten H. <maa...@ao...>]

 Hi all, I have finished what will become the buildtool for cucumber-2.0.
So what is it?
It's basically ch5 of LFS with added which and tar-1.13 so pkgtools will work.
There are still a few steps needed that are NOT documented in the LFS-book so good documentation is important here.
It's an i686-build. You do not need special tools 


 I used LFS-8.2 except for:
findutils-4.4.2 (lfs 7.8/slackware-current)
file-5.33 (lfs svn/slackware-current)
gawk-4.2.1 (lfs svn/slackware-current)
sed-4.5 (lfs svn/slackware-current)
util-linux-2.32 (lfs svn/slackware-current)
xz-5.2.4 (lfs svn/slackware-current)
perl-5.26.2 (lfs svn/slackware-current)

There won't be big changes between now and the release of cucumber-2.0 except for perl perhaps that will see an update to 5.28.x.
Binutils might see a release between now and June, glibc will be in August.

Now, you can just chroot as in the book and with a few steps added, you can build all packages from modified buildscripts from cucumber/slackware/crux/nutyx or even arch linux.
How?
First get the tarball for the tools and sources.

Untar both to /mnt/lfs/

NOW you are inside the chroot, all the following is done inside the chroot!

ln -sv /tools/bin/du /bin

I have added installpkg and makepkg from pkgtools-15.0

cp /mnt/lfs/sources/installpkg /sbin/

cp /mnt/lfs/sources/makepkg /sbin/

mkdir -v /etc
cat > /etc/group << "EOF"
root:x:0:root
EOF

cat > /etc/passwd << "EOF"
root:x:0:0::/root:/bin/bash
EOF

chmod 644 /etc/group /etc/passwd

exec /tools/bin/bash --login +h

For each package and a "hand made" installation do:

cd package && ./package.SlackBuild && installpkg /tmp/package*.t?z
You will need to create the package-dir and download the buildscripts for this to work.

It's a very early version of the documentation but if someone wants to try it out, here it is.

Good day to all!
