<!ELEMENT stageinfo      (root?, user?, environment?, base?)>

This element occurs in : Element: <stage>

See also : Element: <root> | Element : <base> | Element: <environment> | Element: <user>

The element stageinfo allows you to specify several contexts of information used to process the commands of the stage to which the stageinfo belongs.

The base sub-element specifies a base directory that will be used by all the commands of the stage, unless the command redefines the base locally. See Element : <base>.

The user sub-element specifies a user name that will be used as the effective user ID of the current process for all the commands of the stage. See Element: <user>.

The root sub-element specifies a directory name in which the commands of the stage will be performed (using a chroot command). See Element: <root>.

The environment sub-element allow you to specify an environment variable that will be added to the current environment when processing the commands of the stage. See Element: <environment>.

        <stageinfo>

        </stageinfo>

        <configure>
        </configure>

        <make>

        <make>
                <param>install</param>
        </make>

</stage>

The equivalent bash script is :

echo Executing configure
su - lfs
export PATH=/bin:/sbin
cd /usr/src/gzip.1.2.4a
./configure

echo Executing make
su - lfs
export PATH=/bin:/sbin
cd /usr/src/gzip.1.2.4a
make

echo Executing make
su - lfs
export PATH=/bin:/sbin
cd /usr/src/gzip.1.2.4a
make install
