Dear All,
I am following Linux From Scratch-Version 6.8. I am installing LFS on
a Dell D620 with 2 GB memory, 500 GB harddisk, and using Ubuntu 10.10
on a thumb drive.
I made it through 5.5: GCC-4.5.2 - Pass 1 with no errors (although it
took a while, noob here). I read the next part, 5.6. Linux-2.637 API
Headers, and entered "make mrproper" and it failed. The book doesn't
elaborate on what to do except to enter this command.
The 5.2 Toolchain Technical Notes says "Binutils is installed first
because the configure runs of both GCC and Glibc..." and then "The
next package installed is Glibc." So I figured I would go on to
Glibc-2.13 after the successful biuld of GCC... it failed to build
("else echo >&2 `This configuration not matched in", unfortunately
this is all of the error I remember/wrote down) .
I Googled the "make mrproper" error ("make: *** No rule to make target
`mrproper'. Stop.") and found this:
tar -xjf linux-2.6.27.4.tar.bz2
cd linux2.6.27.4
make mrproper
I haven't tried this yet and will when I get home and then try Glibc
build after the linux-2.627.4 build. I've gone back to the beginning
of Chapter 5 and re-read it, twice, feeling like i missed something
(other than being a noob).
My questions are: 1) should the 5.6. Linux-2.637 API Headers package
be built before Glibc/after GCC? If so, is result of my Google search
the proper entry to accomplish this build, 3) why wouldn't this
information be included in the book?
Thank you for any information,
David
