%general-entities; ]> Util-linux boot Util-linux does not use the freshly installed headers and libraries from the /tools directory by default. This is fixed by altering the configure script: cp configure{,.orig} sed -e 's@/usr/include@/tools/include@g' configure.orig > configure Util-linux installs uses -o root, the following sed removes that since we don't have users setup yet: cp MCONFIG{,.orig} sed -e 's|-o root||' MCONFIG.orig > MCONFIG ./configure make HAVE_KILL=yes HAVE_SLN=yes HAVE_SHADOW=no CPUOPT="" ARCH="" CPU="" HAVE_SHADOW=no This do ... . CPUOPT="" This do ... . ARCH="" This do ... . CPU="" This do ... . Install the package: make HAVE_KILL=yes HAVE_SLN=yes HAVE_SHADOW=no USE_TTY_GROUP=no CPUOPT="" ARCH="" CPU="" DESTDIR=${LFS} install Now we will put a copy of mount in /tools/bin: cp ${LFS}/bin/mount /tools/bin
