- lfs as in LFS (Large File System) - people building glibc without support for files larger than 4GB - people who asked for help, and eventually reported that it worked when they started from scratch (in particular, someone on linuxquestions who had thousands of unexpected failures in g++ a few years ago, but was ok on the clean build : that reminds me of my attempts to build LFS-6.0 or 6.1 on a #!?@'cked ppc chipset which turned out to not have coherent DMA when I hacked on its kernel, and which also overheated the CPU and eventually died from that - happy memories :) - someone explaining how to put LFS on a Raspberry PI : very interesting, gperf was mentioned among later packages - a discussion on the jhalfs [ automated LFS ] list between some of our past experts in 2007, good to be reminded of them, but nothing reproducable [ ostensibly it was about whether 'tar -m' caused problems, for Manuel it did, but Ag couldn't get jhalfs to build at all ] - a post from Armin, where gperf appeared to be mentioned as something he had succeeded in building with the change he was talking about Summary - I don't think there is a common problem. The detail you have provided suggests that you might be applying a lot of patches. Nothing wrong with patches, but if they are from somewhere else try doing without them _if_ they produce unexpected problems. If you are not adding patches, are you using dirty source or build directories instead of blowing them away before subsequent builds of the package (particularly necessary for binutils, gcc, glibc and also if you need to rebuild any package because of an error) ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
