5.3.1. Installation of Binutils


Hi, I am stuck on this part for Constructing a Temporary System from what I gather, these are the steps I am to take, if someone could let me know if this is correct or not.

1. unpack Binutils-2.17 (in the sources directory)
2. cd binutils-2.17
3. run patch (if there is one)
4. mkdir -v ../binutils-build (from within the binutils source directory)
5. cd ../binutils-build

from this point this is where I do the build.

once done with the build is the point that I nuke the source directory and the build dirctory unless specified to not or should I wait to remove them after all the builds?

Any guidance would be great.

Thanks

You should delete them sometime before you build binutils (or other package) later in the book. Generally I delete them as soon as I've installed the package.

thanks for that.

one other question after I ran the make command for binutils and the make install

at the end it gave me an output of:

make[3] nothing to be done for 'install'
make[3] leaving directory 'mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite'
make [2] leaving directory 'mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/
make [1] nothing to be done for 'install-target'
make [1] leaving directory 'mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build

is this ok, or did the install not go right
