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 <filename class="directory">/cross-tools</filename> 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<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>
