Hello all, I'm writing only after checking the FAQS and IRC sections on linuxfromscratch.org.
To that end, I've ran into (and fixed?) an apparent missed dependency of Tcl-8.6.10. The issue was tclsh was segfaulting after make (close attention was given to the LFS v. 9.1 book). I had found that it wasn't finding Zlib. To my understanding, Tcl must be linked against the shared libraries in the "temporary system" (/tools), hence the "--prefix=/tools" passed to configure. However configure was not finding Zlib / Zlib headers in the temp system, therefore no Zlib linking happened, which caused segfault during dlopen in glibc. My fix was to install Zlib (1.2.11) in the "temporary system" and tell configure to use gcc that was compiled for the temp system, allowing configure to properly search and find Zlib / Zlib headers in the temp system. Does anyone know if this is a solid approach? Or was my understanding correct? The book did not specify Zlib in the temporary system during chapter 5. Any help appreciated, -Theodore
