	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Here are some things you should know about building each package:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Several packages are patched before compilation, but only when the patch is needed to circumvent a problem. A patch is often needed in both the current and the following chapters, but sometimes, when the same package is built more than once, the patch is not needed right away. Therefore, do not be concerned if instructions for a downloaded patch seem to be missing. Warning messages about <emphasis>offset</emphasis> or <emphasis>fuzz</emphasis> may also be encountered when applying a patch. Do not worry about these warnings; the patch was still successfully applied.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	During the compilation of most packages, some warnings will scroll by on the screen. These are normal and can safely be ignored. These warnings are usually about deprecated, but not invalid, use of the C or C++ syntax. C standards change fairly often, and some packages have not yet been updated. This is not a serious problem, but it does cause the warnings to appear.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Check one last time that the <envar>LFS</envar> environment variable is set up properly:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	<userinput>echo $LFS</userinput>
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Make sure the output shows the path to the LFS partition's mount point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, using our example.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Finally, two important items must be emphasized:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	The build instructions assume that the <xref linkend='ch-partitioning-hostreqs'/>, including symbolic links, have been set properly:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	<command>bash</command> is the shell in use.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	<command>sh</command> is a symbolic link to <command>bash</command>.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	<command>/usr/bin/awk</command> is a symbolic link to <command>gawk</command>.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	<command>/usr/bin/yacc</command> is a symbolic link to <command>bison</command>, or to a small script that executes bison.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Here is a synopsis of the build process.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Place all the sources and patches in a directory that will be accessible from the chroot environment, such as <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs/sources/</filename>.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Chinese (Simplified Han script)	Change to the <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs/sources/</filename> directory.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Change to the <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs/sources/</filename> directory.

	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Package build instructions
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	For each package:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Using the <command>tar</command> program, extract the package to be built. In <xref linkend="chapter-cross-tools"/> and <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>, ensure you are the <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> user when extracting the package.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Chinese (Simplified Han script)	Do not use any method except the <command>tar</command> command to extract the source code. Notably, using the <command>cp -R</command> command to copy the source code tree somewhere else can destroy links and timestamps in the source tree, and cause the build to fail.

	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Change to the directory created when the package was extracted.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Follow the instructions for building the package.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Change back to the sources directory when the build is complete.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/part3intro_generalinstructions — Greek	Delete the extracted source directory unless instructed otherwise.
