English is my native language; however I'm not the greatest writer, and most of the time I just don't write formally in emails. And sometimes my typing sucks too.
LFS is definitely for me! I'm learning allot and I'm having a great time doing this. I went back and did all the instructions for 5.12.1 over again by cutting and pasting them into the terminal and this time the Makefile was not zero bytes. make worked make -k check worked (although there was an error) make install worked compile test passed I think my problem was due to a type-O caused by trying to type the commands directly into the terminal. This is my first time building a system from scratch and some of the commands I have no idea what the output for them will be. Sorry for the newbie type questions. Again thank you all for your help. ________________________________ From: Bruce Dubbs <[email protected]> To: LFS Support List <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 11:40:56 AM Subject: Re: 5.12.1 GCC-4.3.2 - Pass 2 LFS book ver 6.4 G W wrote: > I went back and re-read Section 5.3. > > I deleted all my build directories and sources. > > I then went into $LFS/sources and tar xjvf gcc-4.3.2.tar.bz > > Then I cd into gcc.4.3.2 > issued the commands cp and sed, and for commands.

After the you should cd gcc-4.3.2, not cd gcc.4.3.2 Next you untar mpfr and gmp, and do the mv commands -- not cd ..;mkdir gcc-build which is not the same as the book: mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build If you don't know what you are doing and can't follow instructions, perhaps this is not the project for you. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
