I'm sure you will remember that my bind mounts did not work [ after user ken had su'd to user lfs for chapter 5, and then su'd ] - that looks as if su in fedora has been hacked in some way, but I assumed that binding /dev, /proc/ and /sys [ by user ken who had su'd to root ] would suffice - I forgot about mounting /dev/pts (and anyway, I sort of thought it would be there from the bind.
So this time, when I get to chroot I will attempt to check that /dev/pts is mounted. That might well explain my failures (I'm using -j8, the bug was re make without any arguments), or it might not. I'm going to try building gdb and strace in chapter 5, and trying to turn on core dumps (unlimited ulimit, apparently). None of that really explains all of the problems that Bruce and Pierre saw, so perhaps I will still be wasting my time. The odd thing is that I'm finding 'dnf' much less unpleasant than rpm or the apt menagery - but that might just be because I haven't yet tried to do anything interesting in dnf. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
