Hi, I would like to propose adding more sanity checks to the book since toolchain adjustment seems to be the primary source of operator error for newbies. Here's what I'm thinking.
Ch. 5.7 Adjusting: gcc dummy.c -Wl,--verbose &> dummy.log readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools' # confirms specs specify new linker grep 'SEARCH_DIR.*/tools/lib' # confirms ld search path has changed Ch. 5.8 Tcl: After installation, check that binaries are actually using the new dynamic linker: readelf -l /tools/bin/tclsh8.4 | grep ': /tools' # or grep 'ld-linux' with note Ch. 5.31 Stripping (or here about) Redo 5.7 sanity check to save the trouble of setting up and entering the chroot environment if the toolchain isn't working. Ch. 6.13 Readjusting Change the glibc startfile check (see http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2006-March/056408.html) grep '/usr/lib.*/crt[1in].*succeeded' dummy.log Ch. 6.14 GCC After installation, check that binaries are actually using the new dynamic linker. readelf -l /usr/bin/cc | grep ': /lib' -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
