I had to go to older versions just because I am not able to automate the build process of lfs in the script

I am using crux's pkgutils's pkgmk as the main script for building packages with slackware's pkgtools with slackdesc to package them.

My thought process is to build the toolchain (with tools, glibc, adjusting the toolchain as it was in lfs-9.1) as a package and then build all individual packages normally and once everything is built in lfs then remove the toolchain as a package which completes a transition from lfs build process to individual packages build process so I can continue normally from there onwards.

Thanks
Ramesh GK

It's strange that you are trying to build ancient versions of LFS.

You need to run the script in Section 2.2. Host System Requirements and post those
results.  Also do LFS-12.4 which is the latest stable version.
