I tried to install lfs and during the binutils-pass1 step when i do a configure using the command put up in the manual, i end up with an error like : <b> checking for --disable-nls-windres... no ../Sources/binutils-2.15.91.0.2/configure: line 4615: test: too many arguments checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking if symbolic links between directories work... yes updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating Makefile sed: file conftest.s1 line 63: unterminated `s' command </b>
i tried opening all the Makefile files- Makefile.tpl, Makefile.in and Makefile.def and looked into line 63. but no such command with an unterminated s was found. I use Fedora Core 3 (heidelberg) kernel 2.6.9-1.667 smp on an i 686. all steps as in lfs book were followed. the packages used were the ones downloaded from the ftp site of lfs. The error is reproducible that i did a make clean and tried to redo it, then tried to remove all files from the lfs parttion and redo everything from the first, then formatted the parttion and then started off from the first and in all these cases the error was the same. I had repeated each of these above mentioned steps a few times. Expecting a solution as soon as possible. home page http://deepan.tk resume: http://deepanchakravarthy.tk ------------------------------------------- Center for Biotechnology, Anna University, Chennai, India. pin: 600025 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
