Channel: Kernotex
Date: 2019-05-16

In this series of eight episodes (consisting of more than 50 hours spread over nine videos) I demonstrate the building and installation of a selection of large packages from the BLFS book. The LFS system which was built here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyc5xVO2uDsDesyjGMJSkVYEuiCH3D2TO is used as the base on which BLFS is built upon. Like the LFS videos, they are live recordings shown in real time without any cuts. The main packages include Xorg, Firefox, Thunderbird and LibreOffice. The series is finished off with an extra video showing how a package (The Battle for Wesnoth game) which isn't in the BLFS book can be installed from source.

Part 6 - Office applications Abiword, Gnumeric and LibreOffice are built and installed.

6.1 Build and install Abiword dependencies.
6.2 Build and install Abiword (a word processor).
6.3 Build and install Gnumeric dependencies.
6.4 Build and install Gnumeric (a spreadsheet).
6.5 Build and install LibreOffice dependencies.
