From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cross Linux from Scratch (CLFS) is a subproject of Linux from Scratch (LFS). It is really a book that provides the necessary instructions to build a base, command line only Linux distribution. While LFS is limited to the x86 architecture, CLFS supports a broader range of processors. CLFS addresses advanced techniques not included in the LFS book such as cross-build toolchains, multilibrary support (32 & 64-bit libraries side-by-side), and alternative hardware architectures such as x86-64, Itanium, SPARC, MIPS, and DEC Alpha.
[edit] Package management
CLFS neither provides nor uses a package management system. All packages required to build the base CLFS system are source code packaged as tarball archives and compressed with either bzip or gzip. Similarly, any packages that would be added to the base system such as X11, GNOME, OpenOffice.org, etc. would be built from the source code. Instructions for building over 900 additional packages can be found at the Community Beyond Linux from Scratch (CBLFS) wiki which is maintained by CLFS developers.
