Hello all, Since a couple of weeks I am trying to use the LFS project to start building my own base system. I grew tiered of modifying existing distributions.
So far so good, but as is mentioned many times over the Internet by others, compiling glibc-2.17 (or .16) runs into the gperf obstacle. I have never found an adequate remedy and without that everything else fails when I decide to ignore the error. I then tried to compile gperf-3.0.4 but that has it's own problems. There is an error in line 1131 of gperf.texi and the product needs TeX. I corrected the error but TeX is an issue in itself. Has anybody figured out how to compile glibc without the use of gperf? Beside, why does a basic package like glibc depends on having tools which can only be generated further down the LFS?
