wanna try?

Hi everybody. I just wrote a bash script that will extract and install all packages of ch 5. I am wondering if anybody wants to give it a try.... If you do, just let me know and i'll email it to ya.

BTW, here's the unpack function if you just want to use that... it'll work on .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, and plain old .bz2 (done last to take care of those .patch.bz2's). it then puts the origonal packages in a folder "compressed/"

save the following to something like "unpack.sh"
copy it to your sources directory and do "sh ./unpack.sh"
Good luck

echo Do you need the files to be unpacked?

OPTIONS="Yes No"

select opt in $OPTIONS;
do
if [ "$opt" = "Yes" ]; then
mkdir compressed

for i in $( ls | grep .tar.bz2 );
do
tar -jxvf $i
mv $i compressed/
done

for i in $( ls | grep .bz2 );
do
bunzip2 $i
done

for i in $( ls | grep .tar.gz)
do
tar -zxvf $i
mv $i compressed/
done

clear
echo "All files ending with '.tar.bz2' and '.tar.gz' have been decompressed"
echo " and placed into 'compressed/' folder"
echo
echo " files ending in '.patch.bz2' have been decompressed"
break
elif [ "$opt" = "No" ]; then
clear
echo MAKE SURE all of your source files are decompressed!!!
echo
echo
break
else
clear
echo BAD OPTION... Do you want your files decompressed?
fi
break
done

i got it thanx alot my friend

adam_boz · 09-21-2002, 06:32 PM

WAIT!!! Sorry guys, there's a bug in the script. Make doesn't get installed correctly, it cd's into automake before make. To fix it, do this:

on line 226, in function makd_install: change make to make-

that should install make correctly

sorry

adam_boz · 09-21-2002, 06:35 PM

no, actually it should be make-3

safrout · 09-21-2002, 08:20 PM

that why it didn't work with me coerectly and i thought the error was from me

LOL

adam_boz · 09-22-2002, 12:11 AM

probably... if you were missing "make" in /static/bin. sorry. You can either change the file, or just install make by yourself. Did you have any other problems? Please, let me know. sorry if i caused any trouble.

safrout · 09-22-2002, 09:43 AM

don't be sorry i am gald to be the first one to try it

i will tell u if i faced any other problems

MasterC · 09-23-2002, 06:11 PM

Cool, so the line I change is:

Code:

export gzip_install

function make_install {
for i in $( ls | grep make )
     do
     cd $i

to

Code:

export gzip_install

function make_install {
for i in $( ls | grep make-3 )
     do
     cd $i

And that's it? Here I go... I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again

Cool

Hi, everything went VERY smooth with your script, but now I have just started on chapter six, and it's been a little while since I did an LFS, but I am trying to chroot into my "env" but keep getting the error:
root@masterc:/mnt/lfs/static# chroot $LFS /static/bin/env -i \
> HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
> PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/static/bin \
> /static/bin/bash --login
/static/bin/env: /static/bin/bash: No such file or directory

So I am thinking maybe I didn't install bash. I will go back and check on that, sorry if it's my rusty hinges squeeking and it's something obvious.

I will let you know what I find, thanks alot though, that's a great help, and a real time saver.

Cool

MasterC · 09-24-2002, 04:53 AM

Ok, I figure I did something wrong, but not sure what. I basically backed completely out, and tried again. Not sure what step I missed but I have successfully gotten passed that point now. Looking good, everything seems to work great!

Thanks alot, this is awesome, everyone should have a copy of this who has done an LFS install and wants to get quickly into Chapter 6.

Again, thanks!

Cool

Hey Chad, check in that program in the "function fileutils_install" section. I think there might be a "&&" in it after make or something. I can't be too specific because i'm at my moms house right now, but I gave it to my friend here, and I saw that mistake. I don't know if I sent you the one with that or not though.... Anywase, Good Luck
