User:Drobbins/CLFS

Isolated CLFS Script

Right now, CLFS as-is requires some changes to the host system -- the creation of /tools and /cross-tools symlinks on the root filesystem, as well as creation of a clfs user along with a custom .bash_profile and .bashrc for that user. Rather than do this, I'm working on getting each build working from a self-contained script as a regular user without these requirements.

The script below accomplishes the following things when it builds file-5.19:

• It creates a shell that is unpolluted with existing environment settings, setting just what is needed for the build, just like the clfs user environment does in CLFS.
• Directory structure is located inside the user's home directory: /home/drobbins/sexybeast.
• Cross-tools are located at /home/drobbins/sexybeast/cross-tools, and the build uses this path directly rather than /cross-tools. This is done by tweaking $DESTDIR for make install rather than --prefix for ./configure. Should be fine using this approach.

So I think script essentially wraps the CLFS cross-tools build process in a self-contained build environment without the typical CLFS host-related tweaks described above.
