[Verse 1] Starting from nothing but source code and dreams Building Linux from the ground up it seems First we need a host system stable and clean Cross-compiler toolchain is where we begin Download the kernel, glibc, and more Binutils and GCC at the core [Chorus] Build it up, compile it right Bootstrap the toolchain through the night Cross-compile, then compile again Linux From Scratch, from beginning to end Host to target, step by step we go Building our system from the code we know [Verse 2] Chapter five starts the temporary phase Cross-toolchain built in careful ways Target triplet defines our machine Architecture matters, keep it clean Pass one compiler, basic and rough Pass two refines when one's not enough [Chorus] Build it up, compile it right Bootstrap the toolchain through the night Cross-compile, then compile again Linux From Scratch, from beginning to end Host to target, step by step we go Building our system from the code we know [Bridge] Chroot environment, change the root New filesystem becomes our route Chapter six builds the final tools Native compilation follows new rules No more cross-compiling games Target builds itself, the goal it claims [Verse 3] Essential libraries come alive System directories help us thrive Bootloader makes the system start Kernel configuration is an art Init scripts bring the system up Victory tastes sweet from this cup [Chorus] Build it up, compile it right Bootstrap the toolchain through the night Cross-compile, then compile again Linux From Scratch, from beginning to end Host to target, step by step we go Building our system from the code we know [Outro] From source to boot, we've made our way Linux From Scratch, built today Every component, every line This custom system now is mine
