The old text was not so accurate. Generally "32-bit x86" means i386 or later but now the 32-bit x86 Linux kernel requires i586 (for cmpxchg8b) so LFS can no longer support i386 and i486. Even considering i586 I don't think anyone has tried a recent LFS on that, and our host system requirements have already disputed all 32-bit x86 systems: note that after the removal of HIGHMEM64G from the kernel there's no way to use more than 4 GiB of RAM on 32-bit x86; even only considering the 4-core requirement it seems only satisfiable by some "large" Xeon or Opteron systems. The bottom line of Clang on 32-bit x86 is Pentium 4 so I think we can draw the same bottom line (this may change if someone can test LFS on earlier processors and submit the test result). Also remove the "32-bit can be sufficient" text as ... nobody really believes that now. Update the URL of MLFS as well.
LFS Book README This document is meant to instruct the user on how to convert the book's XML source to other formats (e.g. HTML, PDF, PS and TXT). First, if you have not already done so, please read the INSTALL file for instructions on how to install the required software. If you have already completed the steps outlined in the INSTALL file, then continue reading for examples how to convert these files into various other formats. In all examples, setting the parameter REV=systemd is needed to build the systemd version of the book. XML to XHTML: ------------- make BASEDIR=/path/to/output/location XML to single file XHTML (nochunks): ------------------------------------ make BASEDIR=/path/to/output/location nochunks XML to TXT ---------- Follow the instructions for nochunks and then run: lynx -dump /path/to/nochunks >/path/to/output XML to PDF: ----------- make BASEDIR=/path/to/output/location pdf
