I think you are doing things out of order. In 4.3 'Adding the LFS User' the lfs user is created and given ownership of the directories below $LFS, including $LFS/sources if you are following the book and using that directory as the place to build. At the end of that page you either login as user lfs through a terminal, or you use 'su - lfs' to start a login shell. From that point you should be running the instructions as user lfs. You then set up the environment, and eventually get to binutils pass1 - the instructions for each package assume you have freshly untarred the source (that is, if you had already extracted it, delete that and re-extract it). You seem to have extracted the binutils source as the root user, which is why you cannot create a directory in it as user lfs. I suggest that you delete the extracted souce (presumably as root) then go back to section 4.3 and make sure you have run all the commands including 'su - lfs'. Then check you have done everything in section 4.4. N.B. If the the 'Important' note near the bottom of 4.4 applies (/etc/bash.bashrc) you must run *only* that command as the root user, sourcing the bash_profile and the following stages should be done as the lfs user from a login shell. Perhaps you had to run that command as root, and continued as root ? > > tried: > > sudo mkdir -v build > > ... and it said I was to be reported for illegal use of sudo ... still > access denied. > You should not run 'sudo' while building LFS. I'm guessing your lfs user is not allowed to run sudo on the ubuntu system, and that is fine. I'm assuming that you own the system, and therefore you have been reported to yourself ;-) > > Ubuntu 20.04 patched > > 10.1 > > ĸen -- On average, the Panda feeds for 15 hours a day.
