libmpeg3 compilation error

LFS SVN + BLFS SVN.

I was attempting to compile libmpeg3 and I got the following

patching file Makefile
Configured successfully.  Type 'make' to build it.
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
/bin/sh: i686/c_flags: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: i686/a52_flags: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: i686/objs: No such file or directory
gcc -c `cat i686/c_flags`  audio/ac3.c -o i686/audio/ac3.o
cat: i686/c_flags: No such file or directory
audio/ac3.c:4:17: error: a52.h: No such file or directory
audio/ac3.c:5:26: error: mpeg3private.h: No such file or directory

audio/ac3.c:39: error: expected ')' before '*' token
audio/ac3.c:99: error: expected ')' before '*' token
make: *** [i686/audio/ac3.o] Error 1

running make again gives me the following
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
then continues on compiling all the files without any visible errors.

Before running make in a clean source directory you need to make the
objdir. eg,

mkdir i686
or
mkdir $(uname -m)

[Fwd: Some issues in BLFS]

Hello, Bruce.
First of all thanks for your great job.

Here're some issues from current development version of BLFS book that I
found:

Chapter 25. X Window System Environment
> X Window System Components

1. Code:
mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,xkb,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults

I think it should be something like this (look at -> xkb <-):

mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&

xkb-data is dead and wrong (breaks Greek). Please replace the package with 
xkeyboard-config, as done on the LiveCD.

 No argument that it is deprecated and ought to be pulled out when
the book goes to 7.2 (if not sooner), nor that it is broken, but the
fix for Greek is a simple
 ln -sf gr /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/el

CBLFS

Hi all,

Noted on the CBLFS page is a note that says not to copy from the BLFS
book as it may violate the copyright. But I can't help but notice that
many of the descriptions, etc are copied directly from BLFS.

Best I can tell, there is not even a mention that the CBLFS book is
using material that comes from BLFS, nor is there even a credit to the
BLFS editors (who actually do all the work, the CBLFS guys simply copy
anything they want).

Does anybody else have an issue with the CBLFS guys plagiarizing from
the BLFS book without even a mention of where the material came from?

...and they don't copy things they don't want. So this counts as an 
enumeration of BLFS pages that are still looked upon and followed. 
Everything else is just dead and, in the worst case, should be removed 
before 6.2.0. I am talking about the Vim page, too.

I'm not sure what Alexander is driving at, but the Vim-7.0 update is
tagged as high-priority and a blocker for the 6.2.0 release of BLFS.

What is your point, Alexander?

Perhaps a gentle reminder that they are, in many cases, copying sections
of BLFS without acknowledgment is a violation of the BLFS License would
be in order.

Also, since it is a wiki, perhaps we should put in the acknowledgment
ourselves.

Re: CBLFS

Bruce,
    We are all part of LFS, the only reason I put in that notice was to 
let people know not to copy your material. Essentially we were told by 
BLFS that you would not support multilib and other architectures, we 
took care of it with an open project. We have been going through and 
been removing descriptions, you guys are welcome to come in and update 
and remove the offending descriptions.
