13 <para>This chapter shows how to compile and install a minimal Linux
14 system. This system will contain just enough tools to start
15 constructing the final LFS system in <xref
16 linkend="chapter-building-system"/> and allow a working environment
17 with more user convenience than a minimum environment would.</para>
18
19 <para>There are two steps in building this minimal system. The first
20 step is to build a new and host-independent toolchain (compiler,
21 assembler, linker, libraries, and a few useful utilities). The second
22 step uses this toolchain to build the other essential tools.</para>
23
24 <para>The files compiled in this chapter will be installed under the
25 <filename class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename> directory to keep
26 them separate from the files installed in <xref
27 linkend="chapter-building-system"/> and the host production directories.
28 Since the packages compiled here are temporary, we do not want them to
29 pollute the soon-to-be LFS system.</para>
30
31 <para>Check one last time that the <envar>LFS</envar> environment
32 variable is set up properly:</para>
33
34<screen><userinput>echo $LFS</userinput></screen>
35
36 <para>Make sure the output shows the path to the LFS partition's mount
37 point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, using
38 our example.</para>
39
40 <para>During this section of the build you will see several WARNING
41 messages like the one below. It is safe to ignore these messages.</para>
42
43<blockquote><screen><computeroutput>configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
44 If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.</computeroutput></screen></blockquote>
