Chapter 3: Make the Cross Compile Tools [June 20, 2012, 8:08 a.m.]



Well you've caught up with me. You're welcome to try tasks past this point. Here's a link to a fully compiled book,

http://greenback.gremlin.net/CLFS-x86.pdf

Believe it or not, though, you've already got the hard part done. Building CLFS is just going to be a continuation of what we've already done. I've shown you how to build your own packages from source, keep your build instructions under a source code management system (we're using git) , patch programs on your own, and port software into other environments. That should be all you need to know to be successful with CLFS. Honest!

Every task past this point has filler text in it. I'm working on replacing it. Please feel free to try things for yourself and leave me comments below.

And I apologize for the delay. I've built CLFS from a few environments but there are always surprises with a new one. I picked Windows this build through because I wanted to reach the broadest range of people. But this has definitely been an education for both of us as a result.
