Hi everyone, My linux machine details: # uname -r : 3.2.0-50-generic-pae using ubuntu 12.04 LTS LFS version:7.4
I've followed the instructions in the book strictly.Successfully completed chapter5. After chrooting into the lfs partition,i.e, section 6.9.1 when i ran the command: "../glibc-2.18/configure --prefix=/usr --disable-profile --enable-kernel=2.6.32 \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc " and then it throws an error like this : (this is a copy paste from the terminal) "root:/sources/glibc-build2:# ../glibc-2.18/configure --prefix=/usr --disable-profile --enable-kernel=2.6.32 \ > --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/sources/glibc-build2': configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile See `config.log' for more details " **************************************************** Now, the contents of config.log are: root:/sources/glibc-build2:# cat config.log This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

" not only gcc ,later i've checked with some of the binaries under /tools/bin, they say the same thing when i try to use them..."No such file or directory" WHAT MIGHT BE THE REASON?? In an attempt to understand the problem, i did this outside the chroot environment: " shiva@shiva-desktop:/$ ldd /tools/bin/gcc linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77dd000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb761b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77de000) " so, does it mean that my /tools/bin/gcc got linked with the host libraries rather than my /tools/lib ??? SUGGEST ME SOMETHING ON THIS, SO, THAT I CAN PROCEED FURTHER... P.S.: this is my first mail to the mailing list...sorry if it is informal or too long..or whatever that causes yu the discomfort.. THANKS in advance..
