Newly joined the list. Nice to meet you. I very much appreciate LFS, and I hope that someday in the not-so-distant future, I will be able to contribute to it. However, for the time being, I am still learning. Wonderful project this is.
If I end up violated etiquette, please tell me and I will change my behavior. Now onto my problem: After I went through the bin-utils "configure - make - make install" sequence, I tried to execute the commands on page 54: make -C ld clean But an error tells me that there is no such directory as ld. The only thing that I can think would have caused a problem is that, the first time I tried to compile and install bin-utils, I did it using the time function, with the syntax on LFS page 53. It gave me a time to use for my SBU, but nothing was written to /tools. When I then did the commands separately, in the order they are written in the book, some things were installed in /tools. However, I still get the "no ld directory" error when I try to do 'make -C ld clean'. Since I did everything in exactly the order in the book as user lfs, I was still in my binutils-build directory, when I did the 'make -C ld clean.' Thinking that maybe I was in the wrong place, I checked /tools to see if there was an ld dir, but there wasn't. I have followed the book directions exactly, not customizing anything. I am using LFS 6.1, the stable version. My host system is FC4 default install. I am using packages copied from the latest LFS Live CD, and I confirmed that they are the same versions as the ones in the LFS book I am using, so I don't think packages are the problem. The only thing that might be relevant is the fact that the copied-over files belong to mcooper, not user lfs. Since the perm are 644, I did not think that was part of the problem. Running config.guess from binutils gave me i686-pc-linux-gnu as the target triplet, and upon examination of my /lib directory, I found ld-linux.so.2, implying that my host system is pretty much like the vanilla environment described in the book. Also, I looked at the errata on the LFS site and checked the FAQs, but I did not see anything that looked like it might be relevant. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
