31. INTRODUCTION::
4
5 This collection of scripts, known as jhalfs-X, strives to create
6 accurate makefiles from the Linux From Scratch book series XML files.
7
8 The usage of this script assumes you have read and are familiar with
9 the book(s) and therefore the configuration variables found in config files
10 will have meaning to you. There are a number of command line switches
11 which, if used, will override the config file settings.
12
13 NOTES::
14 *. The resulting Makefile takes considerable time to run to completion,
15 lay in a supply of caffeine beverages.
16
17 *. It is recommended that you temporarily unpack your linux kernel and
18 run <make menuconfig> and configure the kernal as per the book and save
19 the resulting .config file. This configuration rule also applies to the
20 configuration of the uClibc package when building a HLFS system using
21 uClibc rather than glibc.
22
232. INSTALLATION::
24 No installation is required. System-wide installation is not allowed
25 for now.
26
273. CONFIGURATION FILES::
28 Each book in the LFS series has it's own set of configurable parameters
29 as well as the common parameters file.
30
314. RUNNING::
32 The script, master.sh, cannot be invoked directly but only via the
33 supplied symlinks. After editing the config file for the project you wish
34 to build run the script.
35
36 ./<symlink> --help will give you a context sensitive list of command
37 line switches.
