OK I thought I'd try to run through the LFS install. I'm using a
basic Fedora Code 4 host minimal install with a few extra RPMs so I
can build.
Binutils pass 1 makes and installs but I get the following when I try
to create a LIB_PATH version of ld. The same basic error happens when
I try to compile gcc as well
Is there something I missed or something I need to do like maybe try
an older distro to start from.
Bing. You hit the nail on the head there. As Richard said, Fedora Core 4 isn't
a suitable distro to build the stable version of the book. It should work OK
for the development version but that may not be suitable if it's your first
attempt at LFS. I've had good results building from Ubuntu. I like Ubuntu
because it's all on one CD. Like the LFS live CD in fact.
One important point. If you get an error building binutils, don't think it
doesn't matter and try to build gcc. Fix the errors as they come up.
