$Id$ 1. INTRODUCTION:: This collection of scripts, known as jhalfs-X, strives to create an accurate makefile directly from the XML files used to generate a specific book from the diferent Linux From Scratch documentation projects. The usage of this script assumes you have read and are familiar with the book and therefore the configuration variables found in conf files will have meaning to you. There are a number of command line switches which, if used, will override the config file settings. NOTES:: *. The resulting Makefile takes considerable time to run to completion, lay in a supply of caffeine beverages. *. It is recommended that you temporarily unpack your linux kernel and run and configure the kernal as per the book and save the resulting .config file. This configuration rule also applies to the configuration of the uClibc package when building a HLFS system using uClibc rather than glibc. 2. INSTALLATION:: No installation is required. System-wide installation is not allowed for now. 3. CONFIGURATION FILES:: Each book in the LFS series has it's own set of configurable parameters as well as the common parameters file. 4.
