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 CLFS 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>The tools in this chapter are cross-compiled using the toolchain in |
---|
20 | /cross-tools and will be installed under the |
---|
21 | <filename class="directory">${CLFS}/tools</filename> directory to keep |
---|
22 | them separate from the files installed in <xref |
---|
23 | linkend="chapter-building-system"/> and the host production directories. |
---|
24 | Since the packages compiled here are temporary, we do not want them to |
---|
25 | pollute the soon-to-be CLFS system.</para> |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | <para>Check one last time that the <envar>CLFS</envar> environment |
---|
28 | variable is set up properly:</para> |
---|
29 | |
---|
30 | <screen><userinput>echo ${CLFS}</userinput></screen> |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | <para>Make sure the output shows the path to the CLFS partition's mount |
---|
33 | point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/clfs</filename>, using |
---|
34 | our example.</para> |
---|
35 | |
---|
36 | <para>During this section of the build you will see several WARNING |
---|
37 | messages like the one below. It is safe to ignore these messages.</para> |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | <blockquote><screen><computeroutput>configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host. |
---|
40 | If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.</computeroutput></screen></blockquote> |
