47 The <command>file</command> command on the build host needs
48 to be same version as the one we are building in order to
49 create the signature file. Run the following commands to build it:
52 <screen><userinput remap="pre">mkdir build
54 ../configure --disable-bzlib \
55 --disable-libseccomp \
59 popd</userinput></screen>
62 <title>The meaning of the new configure option:</title>
65 <term><parameter>--disable-*</parameter></term>
67 <para>The configuration script attempts to use some packages from
68 the host distribution if the corresponding library files exist.
69 It may cause compilation failure if a library file exists, but
70 the corresponding header files do not. These options prevent
71 using these unneeded capabilities from the host.</para>
76 <para>Prepare File for compilation:</para>
78 <screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/usr --host=$LFS_TGT --build=$(./config.guess)</userinput></screen>
80 <!-- devs: if using - -build here, the build system wants to compile
81 the signature file with "file" on the build system, but stops if it is not
82 the same version. One possibility would be to build "file" on the build
83 system first, but it is simpler to have the system think it is not
84 cross-compiling, and use the just built "file". -->
