| 11 | <title>Creating a Limited Directory Layout in the LFS Filesystem</title>
|

| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | <para>In this section, we begin populating the LFS filesystem with the
|
|---|
| 14 | pieces that will constitute the final Linux system. The first step is to
|
|---|
| 15 | create a limited directory hierarchy, so that the programs compiled in <xref
|
|---|
| 16 | linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> (as well as glibc and libstdc++ in <xref
|
|---|
| 17 | linkend="chapter-cross-tools"/>) can be installed in their final
|
|---|
| 18 | location. We do this so those temporary programs will be overwritten when
|
|---|
| 19 | the final versions are built in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>.</para>
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | <para>Create the required directory layout by issuing the following commands as
|
|---|
| 22 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para>
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS/{etc,var} $LFS/usr/{bin,lib,sbin}
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | for i in bin lib sbin; do
|
|---|
| 27 | ln -sv usr/$i $LFS/$i
|
|---|
| 28 | done
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | mkdir -pv $LFS/lib64</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | <para>Programs in <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> will be compiled
|
|---|
| 33 | with a cross-compiler (more details can be found in section <xref
|
|---|
| 34 | linkend="ch-tools-toolchaintechnotes"/>). This cross-compiler will be installed
|
|---|
| 35 | in a special directory, to separate it from the other programs. Still acting as
|
|---|
| 36 | &root;, create that directory with this command:</para>
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS/tools</userinput></screen>
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | <note>
|
|---|
| 41 | <para>
|
|---|
| 42 | The LFS editors have deliberately decided not to use a
|
|---|
| 43 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib64</filename> directory. Several
|
|---|
| 44 | steps are taken to be sure the toolchain will not use it. If for any
|
|---|
| 45 | reason this directory appears (either because you made an error in
|
|---|
| 46 | following the instructions, or because you installed a binary package that
|
|---|
| 47 | created it after finishing LFS), it may break your system.
|
|---|
| 48 | You should always be sure this directory does not exist.
