[Clfs-support] Building extra software

[Chris Smith]

Hi,

I have successfully built a base system using CLFS-embedded (arm) and I’m now looking to build additional software for it.  Are there any guides out there which show the general steps needed to take a generic source package X and build it successfully in a CLFS environment?  Dos/Don’ts, things to look out for, etc?

Also, is there any resource that discusses in detail the reasons for building GCC twice, statically then dynamically?  I get that it’s necessary, I just don’t get exactly why.

Thanks,
Chris
