Hi,
I have successfully installed LFS and installing BLFS now within Chroot from the host system.
I am stuck up at creating 'host.def' file. This is C file and I don't have any knowledge of C. I am not sure whether I should copy the file from the book and post it into the terminal or there is a need to uncomment any line before pasting. I am afraid that if I just copy/paste the file it would be an empty file. I am copying the file from the book here:
Quote:
cat > config/cf/host.def << "EOF"

Also I would like to highlite the following requirement from the book:
Quote:
|
The documentation for Xorg indicates that the application will build without a host.def file, but the included libraries for Fontconfig and FreeType2 do not build properly on a base LFS system. Therefore, you must specify that these libraries, as well as others, should be imported from the system.
|
How?
I would also like to modify the file to use Intel i686 architecture and Ati Radeon driver.
