Don't know what happened but I submitted this yesterday, but there is no sign of it today.

I have successfuly built Slackware from Scratch, part 1.

There were a few problems along the way:
1) Kmod originally failed to build.
Resolution: The SlackBuild was modified to NOT build the docs.
After internet connection was established, the
SlackBuild was restored and kmod rebuilt.

2) Usbutils originally failed to build.
Resolution: Downloaded the usb.ids file from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/usb/usbutils.
Modified the SlackBuild stop download try. Again, after
internet access was established, the SlackBuild was restored
and usbutils rebuilt.

3) Fuse-2.8.5 refused to compile.
Resolution: Upgraded to Fuse-2.9.3.

4) Svgalib would not build.
Resolution: Untarred the sbgalib*.tar.bz2 Commented out the
round() function in gtf/gtfcalc.c and remade the tar.bz2 file.
This function is now contained in the include files.

5) Net-tools wouldn't compile.
Resolution: Remove reference to the SLS patch from the SlackBuild
and modified config.h by hand.

6) Iptools build failed with error: No sqmlspl.
Resolution: rebuilt linudoc-utils.

7) Not problems, but a number of items were taken from LFS or
from Slackware-current. Among them were gcc, linux kernel,
binutils, and glibc. They seemed to work out ok.

Once again, Nobidino, thanks for showing me the way. I had a lot of fun
with this. Maybe, if I live long enough, I'll get the X11 part of SFS done.

Congradulations!

Well done.
You're the first one trying what I posted for slfs.
Concerning the building of the binutils/gcc/glibc chain, the man difficulty is gcc. I can provide my modified gcc.SlackBuild so that you can build the entire system.
I tried to "automatize" a little by dividing it in 4 steps. I used SlackMATE scripts and modified them (slacklfs1 to slacklfs4 with build_order1 to build_order4 lists of packages). There are not perfect scripts, I'm not a programmer, some may say they're awful, but they work for my purpose.
Here are the first two steps.

Take care the uploaded files should be renamed as: build_order1.txt to build_order and slacklfs1.txt to slacklfs1.sh (chmod +x *.sh) and so on.

The scripts are interesting. I haven't been able to go through them in detail,
but I can see they should do the job. More on this later.

By the way, I'm rather pragmatic about software. If it works it's good.

Thanks for sharing your steps !

the last two steps (step3 and step4).
