Instructions and scripts to automate the process of building a LFS system
- install host requirements
on debian based systems:
sudo apt -y install m4 bison texinfo build-essential &&
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
on rhel based systems:
sudo dnf -y install gcc g++ make m4 bison byacc patch texinfo
- check host requirements
bash version-check.sh
edit vars.sh and change the options to suit the desired needs:
- JOBS: parallel CPU threads used for compiling packages
- NETWORKINTERFACE: the name of the network interface which will be configured with dhcp
- HOSTNAME: the hostname used for the network configuration
- DOMAIN: the domain name for the network configuration
- KEYMAP: the keyboard layout
- LOCALE: the system locale
- TELNETD: if the telnet server service should to be installed
- PAPERSIZE: the default paper size used by the groff package
- MAKECHECK: to run the checks for each package in addition to the build and install process
- TMPASTMPFS: if the mountpoint for /tmp should be set up as tmpfs by systemd

copy the scripts to /mnt/lfs/sources
-
as the lfs user from within the sources directory run chap5-6.sh
-
when prompted logout the lfs user and as the root user from within the sources directory run chroot.sh
-
when prompted run chap7p1.sh from within the sources directory in the chroot environment
-
when prompted run chap7p2.sh, chap8p1.sh and chap8p2.sh
-
optionally run bash-setup.sh for a base configuration of the bash shell
