This build system requires the following: Partition for LFS under build, mounted at /mnt/lfs Fetch build system from https://www.github.com/baho-utot/LFS-RPM Notes: This build system uses su. If you don't want to enter the root password on every step then you can temporary modify /etc/passwd and remove the x in the root user entry. WARNING: This build system can trash your host. DO NOT install/use rpm to install packages unless you are in the chrooted system. Doing so will install the packages into your host system! Always: sudo ./scripts/mount.kernel.filesystem.sh sudo ./scripts/final.chroot.sh rpm -Uvh <package name> exit sudo ./scripts/umount.kernel.filesystem.sh Procedure for the setting up of the build: Login as root fdisk /dev/sdxx - create partition mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdxx - format partition install -vdm 777 /mnt/lfs - create mount point mount /dev/sdxx /mnt/lfs - mount work partition install -vdm 777 /mnt/lfs/tools - create tools directory ln -sv /mnt/lfs/tools / - symlink tool directory cd /mnt/lfs git clone https://github.com/baho-utot/LFS-RPM.git - clone repository ln -vfs LFS-RPM/rpmbuild - create symlink vi /mnt/lfs/rpmbuild/complete.sh - edit flags/configuration pushd rpmbuild/SOURCES - switch directory wget -nc -i wget-list - fetch packages wget -nc -i wget-list.rpm - fetch packages md5sum -c md5sums - verify packages for lfs md5sum -c md5sums.rpm - verify packages for rpm popd - back to parrent rpmbuild/SCRIPTS/add.user.lfs.sh - add lfs user chown -R lfs.lfs /mnt/lfs/* - fix perms find . -name '*.sh' -exec chmod +x '{}' \; - add execute perms Procedure to build the tool chain: su - lfs - login lfs user cd /mnt/lfs/rpmbuild - goto build system ./complete.sh - build system & install Install grub: Notes: This is one way to install grub, You will need to edit the set root=(hdx,x) and root=/dev/sdxx lines to suit. If you don't have a boot partition you will need to change: linux vmlinux-3.5.2 root=/dev/sdxx ro to: linux /boot/vmlinux-3.5.2 root=/dev/sdxx ro grub-install /dev/sdx cat > /boot/grub/grub.cfg << "EOF" # Begin /boot/grub/grub.cfg set default=0 set timeout=5 menuentry "GNU/Linux Linux from scratch" { insmod ext2 set root=(hdx,x) linux vmlinux-3.5.8 root=/dev/sdxx ro } menuentry "Windows" { insmod ntfs set root=(hdx,x) chainloader +1 } # End /boot/grub/grub.cfg EOF Post setup: reboot - reboot and run login root passwd - set root password This completes the build. You should save the *.rpm and *.srpm files for reuse or to install this build on other computers. You can now remove build system if desired. rm -rf /rpmbuild and rm -rf /tools, to cleanup the root directory. After login as root to the newly built system do rpm -qa if it errors you will then need to do: rpmdb --rebuilddb That will fix the error with the dabase
