In order to use LFScript, your host operating system must meet certain requirements. This page describes the commands used to make your operating system compatible with LFS/LFScript.
fsOS (Live CD)
Tested version: 4r16
The fsOS Live CD already meets all host system requirements.
Debian
Tested version: 6.0.4 ("Squeeze")
A clean installation of Debian (with GUI and basic utilities) lacks bison, gawk and the required symlink to /bin/bash:
ln -svf bash /bin/sh apt-get install bison gawk
Slackware
Tested version: 13.37
A full install of Slackware meets all host system requirements.
Ubuntu
Tested version: 12.04
A clean installation of Ubuntu lacks bison, gawk, patch, texinfo and the required symlink to /bin/bash:
ln -svf bash /bin/sh apt-get install bison gawk patch texinfo
Fedora
<<TODO>>
Other GNU/Linux
The basic requirements are the same as those for Linux From Scratch. To determine if your OS meets these requirements you should run the version-check.sh script presented in LFS.
In addition to the basic requirements, your host system needs to have wget installed if you want LFScript to download source code automatically. Having wget installed is highly recommended, because there could be several hundred files which must be downloaded.
