Hi everyone, I recently started building an LFS and I a few questions. I am using LFS book version 8.0. On page 36 before building binutils (pass 1) the book says that all sources should be put in a directory where they will accessible from the chroot environment. Does this mean that I should chroot to /media/LFS/ before building binutils? The book doesn't say to do so, but I just want to make sure.
Also, in the ./configure lines for both GCC and Binutils I noticed that whenever there is a path (besides --sysroot) is always begins with /tools. Is this because all paths here are offset from --sysroot=/media/LFS? Or does this have to do with chroot? Finally, the reason I'm asking all these questions is because when compiling gcc (I'm using version 3.4.6) I get the following error: The directory that should contain system headers does not exist: /media/isaac/LFS/usr/include Makefile:2569: recipe for target 'stmp-fixinc' failed make[1]: *** [stmp-fixinc] Error 1 What does this error mean? It seems like it is looking for a /usr/include directory on my LFS volume. But I thought that command before the build (that replaces /usr/include in gcc) was supposed to take care of that. Anyway, what can I do about this error? Thank you very much, Isaac D. Cohen PS. The reason I'm using such old versions of the packages (ex. gcc-4.3.6 and binutils 2.14) is because I have a book that goes through the Linux kernel part by part and explains how it works internally and I want to be able to follow along. The version used in the book is Linux kernel 2.6.11. If I'm going to use that kernel, I have to build the system out of packages from back then.
