User:Drobbins/CLFS

Self-Contained CLFS

Getting CLFS building entirely in your existing user's home directory should be possible.

I'm working on cleaning up some things in CLFS, and want to see if we can build everything inside someone's home directory -- creating the /tools and /cross-tools symlinks on the root filesystem is a bit messy. I also want to see if there is a simpler way to create a clean environment than creating a separate clfs user. In theory, this should not be necessary. We can create a clean-room shell environment like this:

    (bash source code)

#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/bin/env -i /bin/bash --noprofile --norc << EOF
export HOME=/home/drobbins
set +h
umask 022
CLFS=$HOME/sexybeast
LC_ALL=POSIX
PATH=$CLFS/cross-tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
export CLFS LC_ALL PATH
unset CFLAGS CXXFLAGS
echo Hello.
EOF
