Hi all,
I'm working through the LFS book and I'm having an issue building GCC
(first time through in Section 5.5). The 'configure' step seems to work
OK, but when I run make, I get an error about 3 minutes in, shown below:
.

.
checking for unsigned long long int... yes
checking for uintmax_t... yes
checking for uintptr_t... yes
checking for int64_t underlying type... long long
configure: error: error verifying int64_t uses long long
make[1]: *** [configure-gcc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
When I google the 'configure: error:' line, I see that this error occurs,
for some people at least, when you try to build gcc without having g++
installed first. I'm not exactly a linux newbie, but I'm far from an
expert, so I don't want to go messing around with the process in the book
and installing things out of order.
I did run the configure step last night, but inadvertently just typed
'./configure' without all the options. Then I did 'make' and it gave an
error right away, so I'm afraid I may have gotten things into a weird
state, but I don't know what to delete in order to get back good place
from which to start the whole process over. I did 'make clean' and still
get the same result. This may not even be the problem, but I thought it
might be a possibility.
So....is anyone familiar with the error and a possible remedy?
Check host system requirements. My best guess is that you have
/bin/sh -> dash
but check ALL the requirements.
