<para>This chapter includes a list of packages that need to be downloaded for
|
|
building a basic Linux system. The listed version numbers correspond to versions
|
|
of the software that are known to work, and this book is based on their use. We
|
|
highly recommend not using newer versions because the build commands for one
|
|
version may not work with a newer version. The newest package versions may also
|
|
have problems that require work-arounds. These work-arounds will be developed
|
|
and stabilized in the development version of the book.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Download locations may not always be accessible. If a download
|
|
location has changed since this book was published, Google (<ulink
|
|
url="http://www.google.com/"/>) provides a useful search engine for
|
|
most packages. If this search is unsuccessful, try one of the
|
|
alternative means of downloading discussed at <ulink
|
|
url="&lfs-root;lfs/packages.html"/>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Downloaded packages and patches will need to be stored somewhere
|
|
that is conveniently available throughout the entire build. A working
|
|
directory is also required to unpack the sources and build them.
|
|
<filename class="directory">$LFS/sources</filename> can be used both
|
|
as the place to store the tarballs and patches and as a working
|
|
directory. By using this directory, the required elements will be
|
|
located on the LFS partition and will be available during all stages
|
|
of the building process.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To create this directory, execute, as user <systemitem
|
|
class="username">root</systemitem>, the following command before starting
|
|
the download session:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -v $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Make this directory writable and sticky. <quote>Sticky</quote>
|
|
means that even if multiple users have write permission on a
|
|
directory, only the owner of a file can delete the file within a
|
|
sticky directory. The following command will enable the write and
|
|
sticky modes:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>chmod -v a+wt $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
