Want to build your own Linux distribution? Linux From Scratch 12.0 is available now https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Linux-From-Scratch-12.0-is-Now-Available #LinuxFromScratch #OpenSource #distro #FOSS #update #LFS #BLFS

Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer la sortie de #LFS et BLFS 12.0 en français.

La sortie s'est effectuée en même temps que la version anglophone :)

#linuxfromscratch #traduction

@thindil I'm actually using #LFS as a reference to get around the weirdest issues "bootstrapping" some #GNU toolchain at all. But of course it can't be used as is, LFS expects to be built on some Linux system and even uses #chroot to build some packages, definitely impossible using #FreeBSD #ports.

I certainly don't want two package managers on my system. Plus, a #Linuxulator userland should only install what's *different* from the normal FreeBSD userland, because /compat/linux works as an "overlay".

Trying to create new ports/packages for the Linuxulator userland is cumbersome, first you have to rely on what the repackaged distro offers, second you have to understand the special repackaging magic used.... that's exactly what I *hope* to improve by just building from source. No, I'm not convinced myself yet this is a good idea, I have to try!

@jhx Ok, this is a dead end. Guess I'll have to try a much more "involved" approach, first cross-building a whole set of temporary GNU tools, like described in #LFS (Linux from Scratch). Maybe another day... 😞

@jhx For now, I have two references opened trying to actually do this:

1.) some old state of my multimedia/makemkv port that actually DID need some minimal cross toolchain because back then, something was broken in linux-c7: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/multimedia/makemkv/Makefile?id=ab88687f0e9ae01bba4992546e62000d2a4336b4#n157

2.) The #LFS (#Linux from scratch) book

I didn't give up hopes yet 😅

#FreeBSD #Linuxulator

Ich glaube, ich installiere mir einfach #Gentoo auf den Laptop. Weniger Nerven aufreibend.

#GRUB taucht auf: :blobcatsunglasses:

#Linux Kernel nicht gefunden: :blobcattableflip:

#LFS #LinuxFromScratch #JustLinuxThings #LinuxExperience

Natürlich crashed die #Gentoo LiveCD kurz vor der Zielgeraden. Immerhin kann ich noch den Kernel im chroot bauen, aber ich brauche die Terminalcommands zum Kopieren. Das heißt, ich darf neustarten und alles neu mounten. :blobcattableflip:

#LFS #LinuxFromScratch #Linux #JustLinuxThings #LinuxExperience

Also entweder habe ich falsch gemessen oder diese SBUs entsprechen nicht ganz der Realität.1 SBU sind bei mir laut time etwa 2 Minuten, GCC hätte also gut vor 15 - 20 Minuten fertig sein müssen.

Wenn das bis 13 Uhr nicht fertig ist, breche ich die Tests einfach ab. Wird schon schiefgehen.

Neue Foltermethode in #Guantanamo: #GCC auf alten Laptops kompilieren inklusive Unittests.

#make mit make zu bauen ist die ultimative #Inception.

Ja ich bin verrückt. Woher wisst ihr das?

I got nostalgic for my kernel hacking days and took a swing at https://www.linuxfromscratch.org

I finally got the kernel to boot today after 3 or 4 days building from nothing. I did this in hard mode on Virtual Box in text mode without copy/paste using a Debian live cd. I really missed this #lfs

A rising tide raises all boats - if you're going to punish #redhat, make sure you punish all #Linux companies if you can't easily build their entire code tree yourself

I will say that wiping my #ArchLinux install was quite hard as voices in my head kept asking me "Are you actually sure about this?". But I've been playing with #VoidLinux for a while on an old laptop and it certainly excites me and feels like the old days of #LRsLinux and #LFS .
I'm looking forward to configuring the rest of my setup and exploring Void further. Dare I say it ? My new home.

My personal #VoidLinux experience so far is that it makes you put work to make it work so that in the end you completely understand how each separate piece operates kind of like #LinuxFromScratch . You ask have I actually built an #LFS system ? Yep I went there and it was fun but best of all is the sense of accomplishment once you get at the end.
How do I feel about it only a few days into testing it ? It's actually growing on me and I can see why some folk switch from #ArchLinux to Void Linux.

@Qper I like how minimal it is kind of #LFS like and it's runinit system. I'm also not sure that an immutable system is for me tbh. Finally who doesn't like to try out a new distro ?

I'm gonna attempt to install Linux from Scratch on 1 of my thinkpads #linuxfromscratch #lfs

@gabrielesvelto @nightquick
Yes, this is how I ran #Gentoo back than myself. Unmasking only certain packages - cherry picking from ~amd64 here and there.

#Gentoo can be whatever one needs. It is the most flexible option next to #LFS (Which is rarely daily driven by anyone)
