================================================================================
DEPENDENCY CHAIN
================================================================================

Core Dependencies:
  • sed, grep, bash, gperf, expat, ncurses — base utilities
  • bison — required by gcc and autoconf
  • perl — required by many build scripts and intltool
  • gettext, intltool — i18n infrastructure
  • autoconf, automake, libtool — build system generation
  • openssl — crypto for wget, curl, and other packages

Developer Dependencies:
  • libffi, libelf — language runtimes and debugging
  • Python + pip + flit-core + wheel + setuptools — Python ecosystem
  • ninja + meson — modern build systems

Execution Order Constraints:
  1. ncurses, sed, grep, bash must run early (used by build scripts)
  2. perl must run before intltool and XML-Parser (141→142→143)
  3. autoconf, automake must run before intltool
  4. Python must run before ninja and meson (149→153→154)
  5. flit-core must run before wheel (150→151)
  6. wheel + flit-core must run before setuptools (150-151→152)

================================================================================
TESTING CHECKLIST
================================================================================

Before Running:
  ☐ Verify /sources/ has all tarballs from 100-download-phase3.sh
  ☐ Confirm chroot environment is set up (100-chroot-env.sh)
  ☐ Verify CFLAGS, MAKEFLAGS, etc. are exported
  ☐ Ensure enough free space (30GB+ recommended)

During Execution:
  ☐ Monitor each build for warnings or errors
  ☐ Check that `make test` passes where applicable (perl, python)
  ☐ Verify no stray files left in /sources after cleanup
  ☐ Watch for library version conflicts

After Execution:
  ☐ Verify all binaries are executable: `ls -l /usr/bin/{bash,sed,grep,perl,python3}`
  ☐ Check pkg-config: `pkg-config --modversion openssl`
  ☐ Test Python: `python3 --version && python3 -c "import sqlite3"`
  ☐ Test build tools: `gcc --version && make --version && meson --version`

================================================================================
ERROR RECOVERY
================================================================================

If a script fails:
  1. Check the error message and log output
  2. Determine if it's a missing dependency or configuration issue
  3. Do NOT skip ahead — dependencies must be satisfied in order
  4. Fix the issue (check LFS book, patch source, etc.)
  5. Re-run the failed script
  6. If the script succeeded before cleanup, you may need to:
     - Manually rm -rf /sources/package-name
     - Re-extract if needed
     - Re-run make install

Common Issues:
  • "command not found" → previous package didn't build correctly
  • "header files not found" → missing development library
  • "permission denied" → check chroot mount permissions
  • "disk full" → need more space on target partition
