hi,
i configured and succesfully set up my lfs system using book 6.2.it worked
perfectly.
i then started building blfs.i reached till libpopt,which had docs dependent
on doxygen.so i skipped to doxygen installation.
make gave an error
collect2:cannot find 'ld'
i then tried to compile a dummy file dummy.c
gcc gave the same error.
this is the output of
gcc -v dummy.c
root# gcc -v dummy.c

collect2: cannot find 'ld'
ld is in /usr/bin/ld and PATH includes /usr/bin
if i do
gcc -c dummy.c
and then,
ld dummy.o
it works and i get an a.out file but i have this warning
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 08048094
as you can see i was building everything as root as i was in a chroot
environment on a FC6 box.
i tried man gcc and man ld but could'nt find a way of passing the location of
ld to gcc.But should'nt gcc be able to find ld automatically?
is it dangerous to build packages as root, if the packages are those of the
versions specified in the blfs -book??
