Hi all, In the Chapter 6 instructions to build GCC, it says this:
"The full GCC package contains additional compilers. Instructions for building these can be found at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/gcc.html."; This is true enough. However, it's misleading. At this point in Chapter 6 it is too late to install the tcsh package and the GNAT binary to install all the compilers (Ada) in the GCC package. I have written a hint to modify the LFS Chapter 5 and 6 instructions, allowing to build Ada in Chapter 6. I would like to see the LFS instructions changed just a bit to include a note in Chapter 5 to reference my hint, just in case someone wants to build all the compilers from the GCC package in Chapter 6. If this isn't something that is appropriate for inclusion in LFS, can I suggest at least modifying the note in Chapter 6 that you cannot build the Ada compiler at this point. It may save some folks some time who may try to follow the text and go over to the BLFS instructions to install additional compilers, only to waste a bunch of time trying to get the GNAT binary installed. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:37:00 up 9 days, 8:41, 5 users, load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
