#2205: Blanket notes for updated builds (SVN-DJL-20080825) ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Future Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
(randy) Ran into a documented bug in Coreutils-6.12 when compiled in certain situations. Best I can tell coreutils uses a function that was not implemented into the Linux kernel until version 2.6.22.x. This causes building some packages (I ran into it when building the E2fsprogs package in Chapter 5) to fail when attempting to use the 'touch' program. My host is an LFS with kernel 2.6.21.5. Here's a Gentoo bug report which describes it: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224483 However, I used this patch to coreutils and after building and installing coreutils with the patch, the touch program worked just fine. Here's the patch I used: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=155835 I don't know what the final outcome is, nor which patch we should use (if any?), but I needed the patch. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2205#comment:5> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
