Hello Campers,
I used to be a Unix/Linux administrator and I built an LFS/BLFS
internet server many years ago and loved it. I was planing on building a
workstation after I retired 6 years ago. As it turned out I never got
around to it because I got busy doing other things and now that it has
bubbled up to the top of my list again I find I have forgotten a lot of
things I used to know.
I am not including the error logs because I think I need a sanity
check first. Because of some things I read in the LFS 7.8-systemd book
and the gmp config.log I am thinking I may not be using the right book.
1) In chapter 5.5 GCC-5.2.0 -Pass 1 under meanings of configure options
I read "--disable-multilib On X86_64, LFS does not yet support a
multilib configuration. This switch is harmless for x86"
I have a number of systems I could be building on but I chose a Toshiba
Satellite which has a dual core 64 bit ADM processor and the uname -m
returns x86_64. Maybe this switch is harmless for x86 but what about
this system?
2) The ./configure ran without problem but the make failed trying to
make gmp. I got a syntax error with configure:19003: /lib/cpp conftest.cpp
cpp: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory.
These two things seem as they could be related. It was a long time
ago but the way I remembered it the book compiled x86 by default and you
had to add switches to get it to compile x86_64. All I am trying to do
is compile a 32bit system. Can I do it with this book or should I be
using something else?
I ran the wget a couple days ago and at that time the wget-list
did not include the dbus, systemd or systemd.patch information. I have
since retrieved the proper files and all is ok with the md5sum run. I
don't think I am senile yet but things like this make me wonder how
close I am getting. :-) Thanks in advance for any help you are willing
to through my way.
Arnie
