Glibc > You said that when you tried to persuade it that it wasn't >cross-compiling, you got a message about no rule to make pty_.c needed >by pty_.o - in my limited experience, that sort of message (missing .c >file) implies a broken attempt at cross-compiling.

The patch succeeds, but with fuzzy offsets of up to 103 lines, which raises suspicions about it being tested for this version. > Also, does the ALFS package match the version of the book ? Looking through it again it seems that too much is out of sync. I think that I'll need to revert to building a vanilla LFS - though as my focus is on security I'll update zlib and others known to be potential risks. HLFS has more recent versions of these, which is one attraction of it. I know it's not recommended to depart from the book, so I won't even ask about problems associated with updates .. With luck I'll get it done and dusted today. >Ken >-- > das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce > > - Lyn -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
