Hello, following the book, I encountered some problems:
vii. Errata ----------- Following the given link: http://trac.cross-lfs.org/clfs/errata/git/ the page displays the following: Error: Not Found No handler matched request to /clfs/errata/git Is that normal? 5.8. GMP-5.0.5 -------------- On my machine (rather fresh Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit) the build resulted in the following error: configure error: checking C++ compiler g++ -fexceptions ... no GMP.5.05 requires gcc with c++ support. 'version-check.sh' from chapter "iv. Host System Requirements" could/should check for g++. Something like g++ --version | head -n1 should be added to the checking script 5.14. EGLIBC-2.15 Headers ------------------------- EGLIBC requires autoconf and msgfmt. The commands msgfmt --version | head -n1 and autoconf --version | head -n1 could be added to the 'version-check.sh' script to test for that at begin of the whole build procedure. 5.14. EGLIBC-2.15 Headers ------------------------- In the current version, configure terminates with the error message: checking sysdep dirs... configure: error: The alpha is not supported. This comes from the fact that the EGLIBC Ports package is not added to the EGLIBC source tree, as done in the other architectures I looked at. Adding the first three commands from 5.15. EGLIBC-2.15 (MIPS Version): tar -jxvf ../eglibc-ports-2.15-r21467.tar.xz cp -v Makeconfig{,.orig} sed -e 's/-lgcc_eh//g' Makeconfig.orig > Makeconfig fixes that. After that, configure terminates with the error message: configure: error: linker with -z relro support required I have two observations/questions: First, why is the normal gcc (i684 host) used for this test? Shouldn't be that the Alpha gcc (ok, chicken-egg-problem here ...)? Second, other architectures build Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static before building EGLIBC, while on Alpha the order is 5.13. Cross Binutils-2.23 5.14. EGLIBC-2.15 Headers 5.15. Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static 5.16. EGLIBC-2.15 Is there a specific reason for that? On the other hand, when I build Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static before EGLIBC, the build stops with the following error: In file included from ../../../gcc-4.6.3/libgcc/../gcc/unwind-dw2.c:333:0: ../../../gcc-4.6.3/libgcc/../gcc/config/alpha/linux-unwind.h:28:20: fatal error: signal.h: No such file or directory I'll look into the missing signal.h thing first, since my assumption is that Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static should be before EGLIBC.
