Hello, first time posting here. I am using a 64 bit Cent-OS host, and have not deviated from the book.
LFS Version 7.10 When I ran the configure script for Binutils with the options given in section 5.4, there is a line of output that is concerning. I continued on to GCC without much thought. But then when I searched through the configure output for GCC I do not see the two lines mentioned in section 5.2. As shown below, it seems as though it doesn't recognize we want to cross compile. initial output from Binutils output: lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/build$ ../binutils-2.27/configure --prefix=/tools --with-sysroot=$LFS --with-lib-path=/tools/lib --target=$LFS_TGT --disable-nls --disable-werror checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether ln works... yes checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed checking for gawk... gawk checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no <------------------------ line in question checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes lines missing from GCC output: checking what assembler to use... /tools/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/bin/as checking what linker to use... /tools/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/bin/ld Am I thinking of cross compiling correctly, or is it possible there is nothing wrong here and I'm thinking of cross linking? -Devin -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
