| 13 | <para>This chapter shows how to build the last missing bits of the temporary
|
|---|
| 14 | system: the tools needed to build the various packages. Now
|
|---|
| 15 | that all circular dependencies have been resolved, a <quote>chroot</quote>
|
|---|
| 16 | environment, completely isolated from the host operating system (except for
|
|---|
| 17 | the running kernel), can be used for the build.</para>
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | <para>For proper operation of the isolated environment, some communication
|
|---|
| 20 | with the running kernel must be established. This is done via the
|
|---|
| 21 | so-called <emphasis>Virtual Kernel File Systems</emphasis>, which must be
|
|---|
| 22 | mounted before entering the chroot environment. You may want to verify
|
|---|
| 23 | that they are mounted by issuing the <command>findmnt</command> command.</para>
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <para>Until <xref linkend="ch-tools-chroot"/>, the commands must be
|
|---|
| 26 | run as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, with the
|
|---|
| 27 | <envar>LFS</envar> variable set. After entering chroot, all commands
|
|---|
| 28 | are run as &root;, fortunately without access to the OS of the computer
|
|---|
| 29 | you built LFS on. Be careful anyway, as it is easy to destroy the whole
|
|---|
| 30 | LFS system with bad commands.</para>
