-Re-adjusting the toolchain
-
-
-Now that the new C libraries have been installed, it's time to re-adjust
-our toolchain. We'll adjust it so that it will link any newly compiled program
-against the new C libraries. Basically, this is the reverse of what we did
-in the "locking in" stage in the beginning of the previous chapter.
-
-The first thing to do is to adjust the linker. For this we retained the
-source and build directories from the second pass over Binutils. Install the
-adjusted linker by running the following from within the
-binutils-build directory:
-
-make -C ld INSTALL=/tools/bin/install install
-
-If you somehow missed the earlier warning to retain the Binutils
-source and build directories from the second pass in Chapter 5 or otherwise
-accidentally deleted them or just don't have access to them, don't worry, all is
-not lost. Just ignore the above command. The result will be that the next
-package, Binutils, will link against the Glibc libraries in
-/tools rather than
-/usr. This is not ideal, however, our
-testing has shown that the resulting Binutils program binaries should be
-identical.
-
-From now on every compiled program will link only
-against the libraries in /usr/lib and
-/lib. The extra
-INSTALL=/tools/bin/install is needed because the Makefile
-created during the second pass still contains the reference to
-/usr/bin/install, which we obviously haven't installed yet.
-Some host distributions contain a ginstall
-symbolic link which takes precedence in the Makefile and thus can cause a
-problem here. The above command takes care of this also.
-
-You can now remove the Binutils source and build directories.
-
-The next thing to do is to amend our GCC specs file so that it points
-to the new dynamic linker. Just like earlier on, we use a sed to accomplish
-this:
-
-
-
-SPECFILE=/tools/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/specs &&
-sed -e 's@ /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2@ /lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' \
- $SPECFILE > newspecfile &&
-mv -f newspecfile $SPECFILE &&
-unset SPECFILE
-
-Again, cutting and pasting the above is recommended. And just like
-before, it is a good idea to check the specs file to ensure the intended
-changes were actually made.
-
-If you are working on a platform where the name of the dynamic
-linker is something other than ld-linux.so.2, you
-must substitute ld-linux.so.2 with the
-name of your platform's dynamic linker in the above commands. Refer back to
- if necessary.
-
-
-
-
-It is imperative at this point to stop and ensure that the
-basic functions (compiling and linking) of the adjusted toolchain are working
-as expected. For this we are going to perform a simple sanity check:
-
-echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
-gcc dummy.c
-readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'
-
-If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors, and the
-output of the last command will be:
-
-[Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux.so.2]
-
-If you did not receive the output as shown above, or received no output at
-all, then something is seriously wrong. You will need to investigate and retrace
-your steps to find out where the problem is and correct it. There is no point in
-continuing until this is done. Most likely something went wrong with the specs
-file amendment above. Note especially that /lib now appears
-as the prefix of our dynamic linker. Of course, if you are working on a platform
-where the name of the dynamic linker is something other than
-ld-linux.so.2, then the output will be slightly
-different.
-
-Once you are satisfied that all is well, clean up the test files:
-
-rm dummy.c a.out
-

+
+
+Introduction
+
+
+In this chapter we enter the building site, and start
+constructing our LFS system in earnest. That is, we chroot into
+our temporary mini Linux system, create some auxiliary things,
+and then start installing all the packages, one by one.
+
+The installation of all this software is pretty straightforward,
+and you will probably think it would be much shorter to give here
+the generic installation instructions and explain in full only the
+installation of those packages that require an alternate method.
+Although we agree with that, we nevertheless choose to give the
+full instructions for each and every package, simply to minimize
+the possibilities for mistakes.
+
+If you plan to use compiler optimizations in this chapter, take a look at
+the optimization hint at . Compiler
+optimizations can make a program run slightly faster, but they may also cause
+compilation difficulties and even problems when running the program. If a
+package refuses to compile when using optimization, try to compile it without
+optimization and see if the problem goes away. Even if the package does compile
+when using optimization, there is the risk it may have been compiled incorrectly
+due to complex interactions between the code and build tools. In short, the
+small potential gains achieved in using compiler optimization are generally
+outweighed by the risk. First time builders of LFS are encouraged to build
+without custom optimizations. Your system will still be very fast and very
+stable at the same time.
+
+The order in which packages are installed in this chapter has
+to be strictly followed, to ensure that no program gets a path referring
+to /tools hard-wired into it.
+For the same reason, do not compile packages
+in parallel. Compiling in parallel may save you some time (especially on
+dual-CPU machines), but it could result in a program containing a
+hard-wired path to /tools,
+which will cause the program to stop working when that directory
+is removed.
+
+
+
+
+
+Entering the chroot environment
+
+
+It is time to enter the chroot environment in order to begin installing
+the packages we need. Before you can chroot, however, you need to become
+root, since only root
+can execute the chroot command.
+
+Just like earlier, ensure the LFS environment variable is set up properly
+by running echo $LFS and ensuring it shows the path to
+your LFS partition's mount point, which is
+/mnt/lfs if you followed our
+example.
+
+Become root and run the following command
+to enter the chroot environment:
+
+chroot $LFS /tools/bin/env -i \
+ HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
+ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
+ /tools/bin/bash --login
+
+The -i option given to the
+env command will clear all variables of the chroot
+environment. After that, only the HOME, TERM, PS1 and PATH variables are
+set again. The TERM=$TERM construct will set the TERM variable inside chroot
+to the same value as outside chroot; this variable is needed for programs
+like vim and less to operate
+properly. If you need other variables present, such as CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS,
+this is a good place to set them again.
+
+From this point on there's no need to use the LFS variable anymore,
+because everything you do will be restricted to the LFS file system -- since
+what the shell thinks is / is actually
+the value of $LFS, which was passed to
+the chroot command.
+
+Notice that /tools/bin comes
+last in the PATH. This means that a temporary tool will not be used any more
+as soon as its final version is installed. Well, at least when the shell
+doesn't remember the locations of executed binaries -- for this reason hashing
+is switched off a bit further on.
+
+You have to make sure all the commands in the rest of this chapter and
+in the following chapters are run from within the chroot environment.
+If you ever leave this environment for any reason (rebooting for example),
+you must remember to again enter chroot and mount the proc and devpts
+filesystems (discussed later) before continuing with the installations.
+
+Note that the bash prompt will say "I have no name!" This is
+normal, as the /etc/passwd file has not been
+created yet.
+
+
+
+
+
+Changing ownership
+
+
+Right now the /tools directory
+is owned by the user lfs, a user that exists only on your
+host system. Although you will probably want to delete the
+/tools directory once you have
+finished your LFS system, you may want to keep it around, for example to
+build more LFS systems. But if you keep the
+/tools directory as it is, you end up
+with files owned by a user ID without a corresponding account. This is
+dangerous because a user account created later on could get this same user ID
+and would suddenly own the /tools
+directory and all the files therein, thus exposing these files to possible
+malicious manipulation.
+
+To avoid this issue, you could add the lfs user to
+your new LFS system later on when creating the /etc/passwd
+file, taking care to assign it the same user and group IDs as on your host
+system. Alternatively, you can (and the book assumes you do) assign the
+contents of the /tools directory to
+user root by running the following command:
+
+chown -R 0:0 /tools
+
+The command uses "0:0" instead of "root:root", because
+chown is unable to resolve the name "root" until the
+password file has been created.
+
+
+
+
+
+Creating directories
+
+
+Let's now create some structure in our LFS file system. Let's create
+a directory tree. Issuing the following commands will create a more or less
+standard tree:
+
+mkdir -p /{bin,boot,dev/{pts,shm},etc/opt,home,lib,mnt,proc}
+mkdir -p /{root,sbin,tmp,usr/local,var,opt}
+for dirname in /usr /usr/local
+ do
+ mkdir $dirname/{bin,etc,include,lib,sbin,share,src}
+ ln -s share/{man,doc,info} $dirname
+ mkdir $dirname/share/{dict,doc,info,locale,man}
+ mkdir $dirname/share/{nls,misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}
+ mkdir $dirname/share/man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
+done
+mkdir /var/{lock,log,mail,run,spool}
+mkdir -p /var/{tmp,opt,cache,lib/misc,local}
+mkdir /opt/{bin,doc,include,info}
+mkdir -p /opt/{lib,man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}}
+
+Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but this
+isn't desirable for all directories. We will make two changes: one to the home
+directory of root, and another to the directories for
+temporary files.
+
+chmod 0750 /root
+chmod 1777 /tmp /var/tmp
+
+The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter the
+/root directory -- the same
+as a normal user would do with his or her home directory.
+The second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
+/tmp and
+/var/tmp directories, but
+cannot remove other users' files from them. The latter is prohibited
+by the so-called "sticky bit" -- the highest bit in the 1777 bit mask.
+
+
+FHS compliance note
+
+We have based our directory tree on the FHS standard (available at
+). Besides the above created
+tree this standard stipulates the existence of
+/usr/local/games and
+/usr/share/games, but we don't
+much like these for a base system. However, feel free to make your system
+FHS-compliant. As to the structure of the
+/usr/local/share subdirectory, the FHS
+isn't precise, so we created here the directories that we think are needed.

+
+
+Creating essential symlinks
+
+
+Some programs hard-wire paths to programs which don't exist yet. In
+order to satisfy these programs, we create a number of symbolic links which
+will be replaced by real files throughout the course of this chapter when
+we're installing all the software.
+
+ln -s /tools/bin/{bash,cat,pwd,stty} /bin
+ln -s /tools/bin/perl /usr/bin
+ln -s /tools/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib
+ln -s bash /bin/sh
+
+
+
+
+
+Creating the passwd and group files
+
+
+In order for root to be able to login and for the
+name "root" to be recognized, there need to be relevant entries in the
+/etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
+
+Create the /etc/passwd file by running the following
+command:
+
+cat > /etc/passwd << "EOF"
+root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
+EOF
+
+The actual password for root (the "x" here is just a
+placeholder) will be set later.
+
+Create the /etc/group file by running the following
+command:
+
+cat > /etc/group << "EOF"
+root:x:0:
+bin:x:1:
+sys:x:2:
+kmem:x:3:
+tty:x:4:
+tape:x:5:
+daemon:x:6:
+floppy:x:7:
+disk:x:8:
+lp:x:9:
+dialout:x:10:
+audio:x:11:
+EOF
+
+The created groups aren't part of any standard -- they are the groups
+that the MAKEDEV script in the next section uses. Besides the group "root", the
+LSB () recommends only a group "bin",
+with a GID of 1, be present. All other group names and GIDs can be chosen
+freely by the user, as well-written packages don't depend on GID numbers but
+use the group's name.
+
+Lastly, we re-login to the chroot environment. User name and group name
+resolution will start working immediately after the
+/etc/passwd and /etc/group files are
+created, because we installed a full Glibc in Chapter 5. This will get rid of
+the I have no name!
prompt.
+
+exec /tools/bin/bash --login +h
+
+Note the use of the +h directive. This tells
+bash not to use its internal path hashing. Without this
+directive, bash would remember the paths to binaries it
+has executed. Since we want to use our newly compiled binaries as soon as
+they are installed, we turn off this function for the duration of this
+chapter.

-and you will probably think it would be much shorter to give here
-the generic installation instructions and explain in full only the
-installation of those packages that require an alternate method.
-Although we agree with that, we nevertheless choose to give the
-full instructions for each and every package, simply to minimize
-the possibilities for mistakes.
-
-If you plan to use compiler optimizations in this chapter, take a look at
-the optimization hint at . Compiler
-optimizations can make a program run slightly faster, but they may also cause
-compilation difficulties and even problems when running the program. If a
-package refuses to compile when using optimization, try to compile it without
-optimization and see if the problem goes away. Even if the package does compile
-when using optimization, there is the risk it may have been compiled incorrectly
-due to complex interactions between the code and build tools. In short, the
-small potential gains achieved in using compiler optimization are generally
-outweighed by the risk. First time builders of LFS are encouraged to build
-without custom optimizations. Your system will still be very fast and very
-stable at the same time.
-
-The order in which packages are installed in this chapter has
-to be strictly followed, to ensure that no program gets a path referring
-to /tools hard-wired into it.
-For the same reason, do not compile packages
-in parallel. Compiling in parallel may save you some time (especially on
-dual-CPU machines), but it could result in a program containing a
-hard-wired path to /tools,
-which will cause the program to stop working when that directory
-is removed.

-Creating the passwd and group files
-
-
-In order for root to be able to login and for the
-name "root" to be recognized, there need to be relevant entries in the
-/etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
-
-Create the /etc/passwd file by running the following
-command:
-
-cat > /etc/passwd << "EOF"
-root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
-EOF
-
-The actual password for root (the "x" here is just a
-placeholder) will be set later.
-
-Create the /etc/group file by running the following
-command:
-
-cat > /etc/group << "EOF"
-root:x:0:
-bin:x:1:
-sys:x:2:
-kmem:x:3:

-The created groups aren't part of any standard -- they are the groups
-that the MAKEDEV script in the next section uses. Besides the group "root", the
-LSB () recommends only a group "bin",
-with a GID of 1, be present. All other group names and GIDs can be chosen
-freely by the user, as well-written packages don't depend on GID numbers but
-use the group's name.
-
-Lastly, we re-login to the chroot environment. User name and group name
-resolution will start working immediately after the
-/etc/passwd and /etc/group files are
-created, because we installed a full Glibc in Chapter 5. This will get rid of

-exec /tools/bin/bash --login +h

-Note the use of the +h directive. This tells
-bash not to use its internal path hashing. Without this
-directive, bash would remember the paths to binaries it
-has executed. Since we want to use our newly compiled binaries as soon as
-they are installed, we turn off this function for the duration of this
-chapter.

-Revised chroot command
-
-
-From now on when you exit the chroot environment and wish to re-enter
-it, you should run the following modified chroot command:
-
-chroot $LFS /usr/bin/env -i \
- HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
- PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
- /bin/bash --login
-
-The reason being there is no longer any need to use programs from the
-/tools directory. However, we don't
-want to remove the /tools directory
-just yet. There is still some use for it towards the end of the book.
