USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

My goal was to create a selection of shell scripts that can be used to cross-compile a Linux From Scratch for a Raspberry Pi. Even though buildtool-ng, buildroot and Yocto are quite popular, I found them very hard to comprehend.

I want to make the scripts, I came up with, free and open, I do not know under which license. (Yet). In the meantime, enjoy the first (prelimianary) release.

Known bugs: Script 2 will require user interaction, please set the cross compilers to WHEREVERYOUARERUNNINGIT/Tools/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-. If you want to run them under OpenBSD, please patch the scripts to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'. As well as 'gtar' instead of 'tar'. Thank you.

The process of building GCC turned out to be more tedious than I thought. This release, however, can build it for the target platform.
Still not able to run under OpenBSD. The last script is hard coded to /dev/sdf for the SD card. Not enough packages.

detLFS_0.01.tar.gz MD5:72a1637c1367679b20f907c860710a1a
This is the first release which is close to being good enough.

This is the first release I feel confident about. It also contains documentation. detLFS_GettingStarted.pdf. The buildlog can be found Here. Maybe it helps. Who knows?

This release saw the introduction of a new script, 3c_morepackages.sh. I simply wanted to perform some experiments with increasingly difficult libraries, so it is building ncurses and alsa. The documentation has gotten slightly better. Check it out!!

I realized this moring that there is a new version of the glibc out. I therefore decided to try if I could build it with the latest gcc. Turns out: It is possible. I took the liberty of extending the documentation, while I was at it.

Updated the version of the packages. GCC 7.1.0 is being used, for instance.

detLFS_0.06_GettingStarted.pdf
runlog_0.06.log.xz

Updated the version of the packages. GCC 8.3.0 is being used, as is glibc 2.29 and binutils 2.32. For some reason, make 4.2.1 did not compile, due to a `make/glob/glob.c:1367: undefined reference to `__alloca'` message. I took the liberty of patching the file in question.

detLFS_0.07.tar.bz2 MD5:

This release is the first one with a "repeater project". It adds significant improvements, namely Network access. (WiFi as well as ethernet). Busybox has been updated to 1.31.1. However, a bug required me to patch it in the build scripts.
