I've tried lfs many times..... never with any success maybe I had such difficulties because I was doing it on virtual machines. Anyways, I bought a machine from 2006 and whatever windows version was out at that time (according to this <http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/history#T1=era7> page it was vista)... oops, now that I think of it someone put Ubuntu on it. In any case my 20 minute compile time became 6 minutes and I got everything to compile after I remembered to copy the lines that would not compile and paste them into a text editor and then fix some of the lines. If you are wondering what needed to be fixed some of the lines I would copy would read:
<command> \ <more commands> \ <less commands> \ <final command> would paste into the terminal as: <command> <more commands> <less commands> <final command> \ \ \ and sometimes it would do the same thing with an '&&' in any case I want to learn how to fix things. durring the check of glibc I got a bunch of errors. here is the printup of: make -k check 2>&1 | tee glibc-check-log root:/sources/glibc-build# grep Error glibc-check-log make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/csu/ test-multiarch.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [csu/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/libio/tst-ftell-partial-wide.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [libio/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/posix/tst-getaddrinfo4.out] Error 1 make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored) make[1]: *** [posix/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-attr3.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-pthread-getattr.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-execstack.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [nptl/tests] Error 2 make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/conform/run-conformtest.out] Error 1 (ignored) make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/debug/tst-chk3.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/debug/tst-lfschk3.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/debug/tst-chk6.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/debug/tst-lfschk6.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [debug/tests] Error 2 make[1]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/c++-types-check.out] Error 1 make: *** [check] Error 2 the ones with the X in front of them are expected. here is the text of the expected failures: You will probably see an expected (ignored) failure in the posix/annexc and conform/run-conformtest tests. In addition the Glibc test suite is somewhat dependent on the host system. This is a list of the most common issues: • The nptl/tst-clock2, nptl/tst-attr3, tst/tst-cputimer1, and rt/tst-cpuclock2 tests have been known to fail. The reason is not completely understood, but indications are that minor timing issues can trigger these failures. • The math tests sometimes fail when running on systems where the CPU is not a relatively new genuine Intel or authentic AMD processor. • When running on older and slower hardware or on systems under load, some tests can fail because of test timeouts being exceeded. Modifying the make check command to set a TIMEOUTFACTOR is reported to help eliminate these errors (e.g. TIMEOUTFACTOR=16 make -k check). • posix/tst-getaddrinfo4 will always fail due to not having a network connection when the test is run. • libio/tst-ftell-partial-wide. out fails because it needs a locale that has not yet been generated. • Other tests known to fail on some architectures are posix/bug-regex32, misc/tst-writev, elf/check-textrel, nptl/tst- getpid2, nptl/tst-robust8, and stdio-common/bug22. I don't know how to resolve an error so if you could show me how I would appreciate it. I tried to google it but couldn't find anything relevant. :-)~MIKE~(-:
