PiLFS - Linux From Scratch on the Raspberry Pi

Dedicated to help you build your own complete GNU/Linux distribution for the Pi.

Everything is based on the original Linux From Scratch project with additional tweaks and build recipes for the Pi.
We track the development version of LFS: SVN-20200214
We compile everything natively on the Pi itself or with QEMU emulation, no cross-compiling is done.
