Going over the Essential Programs

I went over the Essential Programs for LFS – 2.2.2 Host System Software.

Many of them should have been installed with the development tools that I installed after setting up Ubuntu.

I checked the version of all of them and wrote them in the manual.

My notes include:

Checking version of coreutils – use any command with version, e.g.

cat --version

To find kernel version:

uname -r
6.8.0-49.generic

To get more information

uname -q

OK

bash, binutils, coreutils, gcc, grep, gzip, Linux kernel, make, path, perl, Python, sed, tar, xz

Programs to look into that I don’t seem to have, or something

bison, diffutils, findutils, gawk, m4, texinfo
