10 | <para>Below is a list of packages you need to download for building a basic
|
---|
11 | Linux system. The listed version numbers correspond to versions of the
|
---|
12 | software that are <emphasis>known</emphasis> to work, and this book is
|
---|
13 | based upon them. Unless you are an experienced LFS builder, we highly
|
---|
14 | recommend not to try out newer versions, as the build commands for one
|
---|
15 | version may not work with a newer version. Also, there is often a good
|
---|
16 | reason for not using the latest version due to known problems that haven't
|
---|
17 | been worked around yet.</para>
|
---|
18 |
|
---|
19 | <para>All the URLs, when possible, refer to the project's page at
|
---|
20 | <ulink url="http://www.freshmeat.net/"/>. The Freshmeat
|
---|
21 | pages will give you easy access to the official download sites as well as
|
---|
22 | project websites, mailing lists, FAQs, changelogs and more.</para>
|
---|
23 |
|
---|
24 | <para>We can't guarantee that these download locations are always available.
|
---|
25 | In case a download location has changed since this book was published, please
|
---|
26 | try to google for the package. Should you remain unsuccessful with this, you
|
---|
27 | can consult the book's errata page at <ulink url="&lfs-root;/lfs/print/"/>
|
---|
28 | or, better yet, try one of the alternative means of downloading listed on
|
---|
29 | <ulink url="&lfs-root;/lfs/packages.html"/>.</para>
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | <para>You'll need to store all the downloaded packages and patches somewhere
|
---|
32 | that is conveniently available throughout the entire build. You'll also need a
|
---|
33 | working directory in which to unpack the sources and build them. A scheme that
|
---|
34 | works well is to use <filename>$LFS/sources</filename> as the place to store
|
---|
35 | the tarballs and patches, <emphasis>and</emphasis> as a working directory.
|
---|
36 | This way everything you need will be located on the LFS partition and available
|
---|
37 | during all stages of the building process.</para>
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | <para>So you may want to execute, as <emphasis>root</emphasis>, the following
|
---|
40 | command before starting your download session:</para>
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | <screen><userinput>mkdir $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | <para>And make this directory writable (and sticky) for your normal user -- as
|
---|
45 | you won't do the downloading as <emphasis>root</emphasis>, we guess:</para>
|
---|
46 |
|
---|
47 | <screen><userinput>chmod a+wt $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | <!--
|
---|
50 | <para>For your convenience the top of the list contains a link to a file
|
---|
51 | you can use with the <ulink url="http://wget.sunsite.dk">wget</ulink>
|
---|
52 | program. Using this file and the <command>wget</command> program will
|
---|
53 | make it easy to download all the files at once, rather than downloading each
|
---|
54 | and every individual file manually.</para>
