If I do this, I have problem after these 2
commands (page 31):
mkdir -v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
Then:
../binutils-2.24/configure [blah...]
It returns no file found.
Because there is no /lfs/binutils-2.24
folder and its contents. The binutils-2.24
folder is on /lfs/sources.

Sorry to have to say that, but people on this list do not
like top posting...
What I wrote was:
Run something like:
tar -xvf tarball-num-version.tar.gz
from the /lfs/sources directory.
Then _cd to the extracted directory_.
So when you extract binutils, you first have to change dir
to binutils-2.24, and then, the command you run are OK.
It may seem weird to have to change first to the extracted
directory, then almost immediately change to another one, but it
happenned in the past that binutils needed to be patched, so some
commands had to be run from inside the extracted directory.
Currently, there is no need for a patch, but the same scheme is used
for gcc and glibc at least.

Hi,
I'm sorry for the previous reply format. I hope this is right.
I'm on /lfs/sources, I run these commands:
tar -xvf tarball-num-version.tar.gz
cd tarball-num-version
mkdir -v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
../binutils-2.24/configure [blah...]
No file found
So, Should I run these?
tar -xvf tarball-num-version.tar.gz
cd tarball-num-version
mkdir -v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
cd /lfs/sources/tarball-num-version
../binutils-2.24/configure [blah...]
Adding the 5th line (cd /lfs/sources/tarball-num-version)?
Regards,
LM
Could you enter the command "pwd" just before "mkdir -v
../binutils-build" and post the output?
The fifth line is not what you want: you want to be on
/lfs/sources/binutils-build, not on binutils-2.24.
SInce you may have screwed up things by running configure inside the
binutils-2.24 directory, I suggest you:
- cd /lfs/sources
- rm -r binutils-build binutils-2.24
- run the above commands starting at "tar -xvf...", adding the command
"pwd" as told above.
Post the output of commands, except the whole listing of the extracted
files (but maybe the first few lines)
Regards,
Pierre

Hi,
You suggestions are right: I made a mistake with paths and deleting some files.
Now I'm able to follow the LFS book.
Thank you very much for you patience.
Regards,
LM
