+ Cleaning up and Saving the Temporary System
+
+
+ Cleaning
+
+ First, remove the currently installed documentation to prevent them
+ from ending up in the final system, and to save about 35 MB:
+
+rm -rf /usr/share/{info,man,doc}/*
+
+ Second, the libtool .la files are only useful when linking with static
+ libraries. They are unneeded and potentially harmful when using dynamic
+ shared libraries, specially when using non-autotools build systems.
+ While still in chroot, remove those files now:
+
+find /usr/{lib,libexec} -name \*.la -delete
+
+
+ The current system size is now about 3 GB, however
+ the /tools directory is no longer needed. It uses about
+ 1 GB of disk space. Delete it now:
+
+
+rm -rf /tools
+
+
+
+ Backup
+
+
+ All the remaining steps in this section are optional. Nevertheless,
+ as soon as you begin installing packages in , the temporary files will be
+ overwritten. So it may be a good idea to do a backup of the current
+ system as described below.
+
+
+
+ The following steps are performed from outside the chroot
+ environment. That means, you have to leave the chroot environment
+ first before continuing. The reason for that is to
+ get access to file system locations outside of the chroot
+ environment to store/read the backup archive which should
+ not be placed within the
+ $LFS hierarchy for
+ safety reasons.
+
+
+
+ All of the following instructions are executed by
+ root. Take extra
+ care about the commands you're going to run as mistakes
+ here can modify your host system. Be aware that the
+ environment variable LFS
+ is set for user lfs by default
+ but may not be set for
+ root. Whenever
+ commands are to be executed by root,
+ make sure you have set LFS.
+ This has been discussed in .
+
+
+
+
+ Now, if you are making a backup, leave the chroot environment:
+
+
+exit
+
+
+ At this point the essential programs and libraries have been created
+ and your current system is in a good state. Your system can now be
+ backed up for later reuse. In case of fatal failures in the subsequent
+ chapters, it often turns out that removing everything and starting over
+ (more carefully) is the best option to recover. Unfortunately, all the
+ the temporary files will be removed, too. To avoid spending extra time to
+ redo something which has been built successfully, prepare a backup.
+
+
+
+ Make sure you have at least 1 GB free disk space (the source tarballs
+ will be included in the backup archive) in the home directory of user
+ root.
+
+
+ Before we make a backup, unmount the virtual file systems:
+
+umount $LFS/dev{/pts,}
+umount $LFS/{sys,proc,run}
+
+
+ Create the backup archive by running the following command:
+
+
+
+
+ Because the backup archive is compressed, it takes a relatively
+ long time (over 10 minutes) even on a resonably fast system.
+
+
+
+ Also, ensure the LFS environment variable is set
+ for the root user.
+
+
+
+cd $LFS
+tar -cJpf $HOME/lfs-temp-tools-&version;.tar.xz .
+
+cd $LFS
+tar -cJpf $HOME/lfs-temp-tools-&versiond;.tar.xz .
+
+
+ Replace $HOME by a directory of your choice if you
+ do not want to have the backup stored in root's home directory.
+
+
+
+
+ Restore
+
+
+ In case some mistakes have been made and you need to start over, you can
+ use this backup to restore the system and save some recovery time.
+ Since the sources are located under
+ $LFS, they are included in the
+ backup archive as well, so they do not need to be downloaded again. After
+ checking that $LFS is set properly,
+ restore the backup by executing the following commands:
+
+
+
+
+ The following commands are extremly dangerous. If
+ you run rm -rf ./* as the root user and you
+ do not change to the $LFS directory or the LFS
+ environment variable is not set for the root user, it will destroy
+ your entire host system. YOU ARE WARNED.
+
+cd $LFS
+rm -rf ./*
+tar -xpf $HOME/lfs-temp-tools-&version;.tar.xz
+
+cd $LFS
+rm -rf ./*
+tar -xpf $HOME/lfs-temp-tools-&versiond;.tar.xz
+
+
+ Again, double check that the environment has been setup properly
+ and continue building the rest of the system.
+
+
+
+
+ If you left the chroot environment to create a backup or restart
+ building using a restore, remember to check that the virtual
+ filesystems are still mounted (findmnt | grep
+ $LFS). If they are not mounted, remount them now as
+ described in and re-enter the chroot
+ environment (see ) before continuing.

- Cleaning up and Saving the Temporary System
-
- The libtool .la files are only useful when linking with static

- shared libraries, specially when using non-autotools build systems.
- While still in chroot, remove those files now:
-

-
- Remove the documentation of the temporary tools, to prevent them

-
-rm -rf /usr/share/{info,man,doc}/*
-
-
- All the remaining steps in this section are optional. Nevertheless,
- as soon as you begin installing packages in , the temporary tools will be
- overwritten. So it may be a good idea to do a backup of the temporary
- tools as described below. The other steps are only needed if you are
- really short on disk space.
-
-
-
- The following steps are performed from outside the chroot
- environment. That means, you have to leave the chroot environment
- first before continuing. The reason for that is to:
-
-
-
- make sure that objects are not in use while they are
- manipulated.
-
-
-
-
- get access to file system locations outside of the chroot
- environment to store/read the backup archive which should
- not be placed within the
- $LFS hierarchy for
- safety reasons.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Now, if you are stripping installed files or making a backup,
- leave the chroot environment:
-
-
-exit
-
-
- All of the following instructions are executed by
- root. Take extra
- care about the commands you're going to run as mistakes
- here can modify your host system. Be aware that the
- environment variables LFS and LFS_TGT
- are set for user lfs by default
- but may not be set for
- root. Whenever
- commands are to be executed by root,
- make sure you have set LFS and LFS_TGT accordingly.
- This has been discussed in .

-
-
- Stripping
-
- If the LFS partition is rather small, it is good to
- know that unnecessary items can be removed. The executables and
- libraries built so far contain a little over 90 MB of unneeded debugging
- symbols.
-
- Strip off debugging symbols from binaries:
-
- cd $LFS/tools/$LFS_TGT
-bin/strip --strip-unneeded $LFS/usr/lib/*
-bin/strip --strip-unneeded $LFS/usr/{,s}bin/*
-bin/strip --strip-unneeded $LFS/tools/bin/*
-
- These commands will skip a number of files reporting that it does not
- recognize their file format. Most of these are scripts instead of binaries.
-
-
- At this point, you should have at least 5 GB of free space on the
- chroot partition that can be used to build and install Glibc and GCC in
- the next phase. If you can build and install Glibc, you can build and install
- the rest too. You can check the free disk space with the command
- df -h $LFS.
-
-
-
-
- Backup
-
-
- Now that the essential tools have been created, its time to think about
- a backup. When every check has passed successfully in the previously
- built packages, your temporary tools are in a good state and might be
- backed up for later reuse. In case of fatal failures in the subsequent
- chapters, it often turns out that removing everything and starting over
- (more carefully) is the best option to recover. Unfortunately, all the
- temporary tools will be removed, too. To avoid spending extra time to
- redo something which has been built successfully, prepare a backup.
-
-
-
- Make sure you have at least 600 MB free disk space (the source tarballs
- will be included in the backup archive) in the home directory of user
- root.
-
-
- Before we make a backup, unmount the virtual file systems:
-
-umount $LFS/dev{/pts,}
-umount $LFS/{sys,proc,run}
-
-
- Create the backup archive by running the following command:
-
-
-cd $LFS
-tar -cJpf $HOME/lfs-temp-tools-&version;.tar.xz .

-tar -cJpf $HOME/lfs-temp-tools-&versiond;.tar.xz .

- do not want to have the backup stored in root's home directory.
