Hello,
This is my first LFS build and all was going well until I went and
changed a command. I am building this system in virtualbox using the
latest LFS Live-CD, all the latest packages from lfs.org, and LFS-BOOK-6.7
I had completed the steps up to 5.9 in the book where I was starting
pass 2 of Binutils when I realized what I had done. Two steps back when
I was compiling Glibc I erroneously changed a command thinking I was
doing the right thing (against my better judgment). The command I edited
was the following:
#begin command
../glibc-2.13/configure --prefix=/tools \
--host=$LFS_TGT --build=$(../glibc-2.13/scripts/config.guess) \
--disable-profile --enable-add-ons \
--enable-kernel=2.6.22.5 --with-headers=/tools/include \
libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes
#end command
While typing this command I mistakenly assumed I needed to change the
'--enable-kernel=2.6.22.5' line to reflect the latest kernel that I had
downloaded from lfs.org not realizing that this line was in fact
referring to the host system. However, everything compiled and installed
correctly and I moved on to 5.8 Adjusting the Toolchain. Again all of
this completed without error, including the sanity-check.
It was not until I started to compile Pass 2 of Binutils and the
compiler threw a "FATAL: Kernel too old" error that I realized what I
had done. Now, since I already have adjusted the toolchain and GCC's
dynamic linker has changed when I try to rebuild Glibc, make will not
complete (it hangs) and as a result I am stuck.
What should I do to correct this? Can I undo the Toolchain adjustment so
I can recompile Glibc or do I have to start from square one again? Any
advice is greatly appreciated. Either way I've learned my lesson about
altering commands unless expressly directed to do so.
Thanks.
