%general-entities; ]> Some programs use hard-wired paths to programs which do not exist yet. In order to satisfy these programs, create a number of symbolic links which will be replaced by real files throughout the course of the next chapter after the software has been installed. ln -sv /tools/bin/{bash,cat,echo,grep,login,passwd,pwd,sleep,stty} ${CLFS}/bin ln -sv /tools/bin/file ${CLFS}/usr/bin ln -sv /tools/lib/libgcc_s.so{,.1} ${CLFS}/usr/lib ln -sv /tools/lib/libstdc++.so{.6,} ${CLFS}/usr/lib sed -e 's/tools/usr/' /tools/lib/libstdc++.la > ${CLFS}/usr/lib/libstdc++.la ln -sv bash ${CLFS}/bin/sh ln -sv ../run ${CLFS}/var/run To enable some c++ tests in the Glibc and Binutils testsuites to link, create a directory and make some symbolic links: mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/usr/lib64 ln -sv /tools/lib/libstdc++.so{.6,} ${CLFS}/usr/lib64
