Getting CLFS building entirely in your existing user's home directory should be possible.
Right now, CLFS as-is requires some changes to the host system -- the creation of {{f|/tools}} and {{f|/cross-tools}} symlinks on the root filesystem, as well as creation of a {{c|clfs}} user along with a custom {{c|.bash_profile}} and {{c|.bashrc}} for that user. Rather than do this, I'm working on getting each build working from a self-contained script as a regular user without these requirements.


I'm working on cleaning up some things in CLFS, and want to see if we can build everything inside someone's home directory -- creating the {{f|/tools}} and {{f|/cross-tools}} symlinks on the root filesystem is a bit messy. I also want to see if there is a simpler way to create a clean environment than creating a separate {{c|clfs}} user. In theory, this should not be necessary. We can create a clean-room shell environment like this:
The script below accomplishes the following things when it builds {{c|file-5.19}}:
* It creates a shell that is unpolluted with existing environment settings, setting just what is needed for the build, just like the {{c|clfs}} user environment does in CLFS.
* Directory structure is located inside the user's home directory: {{f|/home/drobbins/sexybeast}}.
* Cross-tools are located at {{f|/home/drobbins/sexybeast/cross-tools}}, and the build uses this path directly rather than {{f|/cross-tools}}. This is done by tweaking {{c|$DESTDIR}} for {{c|make install}} rather than {{c|--prefix}} for {{c|./configure}}. Should be fine using this approach.
 
So I think script essentially wraps the CLFS cross-tools build process in a self-contained build environment without the typical CLFS host-related tweaks described above.

Isolated CLFS Script

Right now, CLFS as-is requires some changes to the host system -- the creation of /tools and /cross-tools symlinks on the root filesystem, as well as creation of a clfs user along with a custom .bash_profile and .bashrc for that user. Rather than do this, I'm working on getting each build working from a self-contained script as a regular user without these requirements.

The script below accomplishes the following things when it builds file-5.19:

  • It creates a shell that is unpolluted with existing environment settings, setting just what is needed for the build, just like the clfs user environment does in CLFS.
  • Directory structure is located inside the user's home directory: /home/drobbins/sexybeast.
  • Cross-tools are located at /home/drobbins/sexybeast/cross-tools, and the build uses this path directly rather than /cross-tools. This is done by tweaking $DESTDIR for make install rather than --prefix for ./configure. Should be fine using this approach.

So I think script essentially wraps the CLFS cross-tools build process in a self-contained build environment without the typical CLFS host-related tweaks described above.
