yes. gperf is NOT required for glibc (or any other package in lfs) and yes, all requirements are mentionned. > However, I am not the first nor probably the last running into this > issue. Even glibc-2.16 requires the use of gperf and thus failed the i never had to build gperf for lfs. and i'm building lfs for quite some years (my first lfs was 3.0). glibc builds fine without gperf if you follow the book. i think you are the first with this issue. as far i can remenber i never have read about gperf issues so far. but as i'm getting older, my memory seems to have failures sometimes ;) i just can say/write: FBBG (follow book, book good!) if you have issues about missing gperf in lfs, you probably dont follow the book. if you explain where you deviate from the book, maybe someone can help to find the 'wrong' part. btw: later in blfs i build gperf as xcb-util requires it. tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
