Notes for building Linux From Scratch
=====================================

General
-------
These notes are in cronological order.  Unless otherwise noted, these modules are built using this sequence:

CFLAGS=-march=i686 CPPFLAGS=-march=i686 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
make
make install

Some modules do not accept "--enable-shared" and some don't have a script at all.  These exceptions are noted.


LFS
---
When basing from Slackware:
- fix RLIM_INFINITY redefinition in /usr/include/bits/resource.h
- link /usr/lib/libncurses.a to libcurses.a
- build GCC
- build make

Follow normal LFS procedure except where noted below:

glibc: if problems occur with time.h later , remove "#define __need_time_t" from sys/time.h
gcc: use libstdc++ sources for C++ (see install.html)
flex: make a script for lex: flex -l $*
modutils: don't use --prefix
kernel: might need pcmcia, get devpts up, might need db1 (or tweak db3)
netkit: use netkit-combo: has lots of warnings and may break on time.h.
net-tools
tcp_wrappers (tcpd): remove setenv.o from AUX_OBJ (twice), set REAL_DAEMON_DIR=/usr/sbin, -DSYS_ERRLIST_DEFINED, add i686, must copy binaries, library, tcpd.h, and man pages by hand.
dhcpcd
scripts: use mine
lynx
tcsh
jdk: put in /usr/lib, link: jdk->jdk-x.x.x java->jdk/jre
imake: put into /opt/imake, should be after X?


Libraries/Utils
---------------
libsigc++
libreadline
zlib: may not install static and shared in the same place.
Linux-PAM: fix broken links to all dynamic libs
libPropList
ftp-BSD: edit Makefile for i686, fix SA_LEN problem in bsdport.h
openssl: CFLAGS=-march=i686 CPPFLAGS=-march=i686 ./Configure --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/opt/ssl shared linux-elf
ssh: build ssh1 before ssh2
samba: CFLAGS=-march=i686 ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/log --sharedstatedir=/var/log --with-smbmount --with-pam --with-syslog --with-privatedir=/etc --with-lockdir=/var/lock --without-sambabook, ln -s /etc/smb.conf in /usr/lib
bc
gmp
popt2
db: (Berkley) build_unix: ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-compat185 (link /usr/include/db_185.h /usr/include/db1/db.h and /usr/lib/db-3.2.so db1.so)
gdbm
librep
guile: fix "extern in_addr_t inet_aton"
python
audiofile
esound


X
-
Must use binary installation.  Must create /var/state.  Watch for errors.  Create symlinks:
/usr/X11 -> /usr/X11R6
/usr/bin/X11 -> /usr/X11/bin
/usr/lib/X11 -> /usr/X11/lib
/usr/include/X11 -> /usr/X11/include


Graphics Libraries
------------------
lesstif: uconf and after make install, copy the bin, include, and lib directories to /usr/X11
jpeg: --enable-shared --enable-static, fix prefix in makefile, make install install-lib install-headers
libpng: cp scripts/makefile.linux ./makefile and edit the makefile to add i686
libmng
libungif
tiff: hack configure to pass "DSO" test (comment out if statement) and set paths, make COPTS=-march=i686.
xpm: comes with X!!!
glib
gtk+
imlib
gtkmm(GTK--): earlier?
wxGTK
ghostscript: edit makefile: set zlib and libpng to shared and set path to all 3 lib sources, fix XINCLUDE.
qt: enable features via configure, put into /opt/qt
mesa: needed for full OpenGL support?
glut: imake based, put into /opt/glut, fix X_LIBS in configure, -L/opt/glut/lib/glut
freetype: CFLAGS=-march=i686 make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr"
nedit
