Chapter 11 : Setting up the environment for the "lfs" user

Hi,

In this chapter, we are going to setup the environment for the "lfs" user.

As part of setting up the environment, we are going to create two files namely

1. .bash_profile

2. .bashrc

3. .profile

Open a terminal and execute the following commands, keep that in mind...now you should have logged in as lfs user at the terminal.

Use the content below to create .bash_profile file 

cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF"

exec env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' /bin/bash

EOF

Use the content below to create .bashrc file

cat > ~/.bashrc << "EOF"

set +h

umask 022

LFS=/mnt/lfs

LC_ALL=POSIX

LFS_TGT=$(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu

PATH=/usr/bin

if [ ! -L /bin ]; then PATH=/bin:$PATH; fi

PATH=$LFS/tools/bin:$PATH

export LFS LC_ALL LFS_TGT PATH

EOF

$ source ~/.bash_profile

If you like to have a detailed explanation about these two files, you can checkout the following link below

Use the content below to create .profile file
