Beyond Musl Linux From Scratch - Build Recipes for MLFS [Musl Linux From Source]

This is based on the works of Beyond Linux Fom Scratch (https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs), Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org), and Alpine Linux (https://alpinelinux.org).

These build recipes allow to build packages for a MLFS, a Musl [based] Linux from Scratch system. Such system uses Musl as libc, LibreSSL for SSL support, and S6+S6-rc for init system.

Currently, Qt5 is the default Qt toolkit. Packages that can be built against Qt6 & Qt5 will have the Qt6 version stored in /opt/qt6. Eventually, Qt6 will be the default with Qt5 versions of packages in /opt/qt5. Layout

• build-scripts -- Scripts to automatically build and install packages with pkgtools.
• files -- Files that may be optional or required for a package build
• patches -- Patches that fix known issues or to allow package to build/run with Musl as libc
• sources -- Packages sources that may be difficult to find or pre-patched

How to Use the Build Scripts

Build scripts assume Slackware's pkgtools is installed as package manager and assumes the following directory tree:

 + -- [sources]
       |
       + -- [files]
       + -- [patches]
       + -- [scripts]
       + -- (source packages)

1. Unpack package in `source` and `cd` into the unpacked source: `tar xf foo-4.3.tar.xz && cd foo-4.3`
2. Run build script: `sh ../scripts/foo-4.3.build`

Each package build assumes the following are set:

• export BUILD = /BUILD # Directory to temporarily install
• export PKGS = /PKGS # Directory to store built packages
• export PSUFFIX = "$(uname -m)-blfs.txz" # Package extension. Inludes CPU arch and package compression
• export NOPSUFFIX = "noarch-blfs.txz" # Package extension. Supported across all CPU arches and package compression

Changelog since 2.00

• Changed package manager to Slackware's pkgtools instead of porg
• Added package dependancy list for each build
