---|
[16d3e65] | 13 | <para>Throughout this book, the environment variable <envar>CLFS</envar> will |
---|
[02095ae] | 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. |
---|
[16d3e65] | 16 | Check that the <envar>CLFS</envar> variable is set up properly with:</para> |
---|
[02095ae] | 17 | |
---|
[65df7b1] | 18 | <screen><userinput>echo ${CLFS}</userinput></screen> |
---|
[02095ae] | 19 | |
---|
| 20 | <para>Make sure the output shows the path to the CLFS partition's mount |
---|
[940e6b3] | 21 | point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/clfs</filename> if the |
---|
[02095ae] | 22 | provided example was followed. If the output is incorrect, the |
---|
| 23 | variable can be set with:</para> |
---|
| 24 | |
---|
[940e6b3] | 25 | <screen><userinput>export CLFS=/mnt/clfs</userinput></screen> |
---|
[02095ae] | 26 | |
---|
| 27 | <para>Having this variable set is beneficial in that commands such as |
---|
[76c3eca] | 28 | <command>install -dv ${CLFS}/tools</command> can be typed literally. The shell |
---|
[65df7b1] | 29 | will automatically replace <quote>${CLFS}</quote> with |
---|
[940e6b3] | 30 | <quote>/mnt/clfs</quote> (or whatever the variable was set to) when it |
---|
[02095ae] | 31 | processes the command line.</para> |
---|
| 32 | |
---|
[65df7b1] | 33 | <para>If you haven't created the <filename class="directory">${CLFS}</filename> |
---|
[02095ae] | 34 | directory, do so at this time by issuing the following commands:</para> |
---|
| 35 | |
---|
[65df7b1] | 36 | <screen><userinput>install -dv ${CLFS}</userinput></screen> |
---|
[02095ae] | 37 | |
---|
[65df7b1] | 38 | <para>Do not forget to check that <envar>${CLFS}</envar> is set whenever |
---|
[02095ae] | 39 | you leave and reenter the current working environment (as when doing a |
---|
| 40 | <quote>su</quote> to <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> or |
---|
| 41 | another user).</para> |
