12
13 <para>Throughout this book, the environment variable <envar>CLFS</envar> will
14 be used several times. It is paramount that this variable is always defined.
15 It should be set to the mount point chosen for the CLFS partition.
16 For the purposes of this book, it is assumed that the file system
17 will be mounted under <filename class="directory">/mnt/clfs</filename>,
18 but the directory choice is up to you. Decide on a directory location and set
19 the variable with the following command:</para>
20
21<screen><userinput>export CLFS=<replaceable>[/mnt/clfs]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
22
23 <para>Having this variable set is beneficial in that commands such as
24 <command>install -dv ${CLFS}/tools</command> can be typed literally. The shell
25 will automatically replace <quote>${CLFS}</quote> with
26 <quote>/mnt/clfs</quote> (or whatever the variable was set to) when it
27 processes the command line.</para>
28
29 <para>Do not forget to check that <envar>${CLFS}</envar> is set whenever
30 you leave and reenter the current working environment (as when doing a
31 <quote>su</quote> to <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> or
32 another user). Check that the <envar>CLFS</envar> variable is set up
33 properly with:</para>
34
35<screen><userinput>echo ${CLFS}</userinput></screen>
36
37 <para>Make sure the output shows the path to the CLFS partition's mount
38 point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/clfs</filename> if the
39 provided example was followed. If the output is incorrect, use the command
40 given earlier on this page to set <envar>${CLFS}</envar> to the correct
41 directory name.</para>
