Simon, I apologize for beeing a little sarcastic instead of trying to contribute with a better text. The problem is, I have had bad experiences with some developers. As Linux fan pointed, Little distros like lfs don't get no respect I don't think it's that they don't get respect, they're just overlooked - remember that much of the development is done by developers employed by the big distros, by Redhat, Novell, Canonical. If people want them to consider the needs of other distros, those people need to be prepared to put in some work of their own. To use the PK case again, I'm sure the developers would be happy to support systems that don't use PAM - *if* someone provides a patch to do so, and will commit to maintaining it for the foreseeable future. The latter being critical - I'd certainly expect them to reject such a patch if nobody was willing to own it.

Re: LFS version 6.6 Chapter 6.9.1 error
You're right. I noticed that the file system was pretty corrupted. Luckily it wasn't too far from the point where I took a snapshot of the tools, etc. On 10 May 2010 00:03, Ken Moffat zarniwhoo...@googlemail.com wrote: On 9 May 2010 04:47, nidujay nidu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I get the following errors with glibc installation: Make install ... /sources/glibc-build/csu/init-first.o In file included from ../posix/unistd.h:887, from ../include/unistd.h:2, from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/init-first.c:23: ../include/getopt.h:4:26: error: posix/getopt.h: No such file or directory That file is part of glibc.

Could it be those that benefit by selling newer hardware are discouraging reverse-compatibility??? Hmm... So, you have cpuid.h where it is supposed to be, but the working GCC does not use it? I think you should gut config.log of the failing glibc build and find the compiler output for the failing test. It will likely be somewhere in the middle of the file, and should contain the necessary information to diagnose the problem. Post it. I would also want to think of your CPU. Are you _sure_ it is i686? Ran config.guess or 'uname -m'? AFAIK, distros do not build i686 binaries, they build i486 or i586 binaries.

how to install liveCD.iso via virtual-box

Re: how to install liveCD.iso via virtual-box
Prasoon, I am not using Windows 7, however I use Virtual Box all the time - and I believe the question you are asking is NOT windows version specific ; That said: When creating a new virtual machine in VirtualBox - the create new machine wizard asks some generic questions like System Type / Distro in order to better guess at the base-level requirements for the virtual machine (like memory, disk space) , AND it also controls what icon the virtual machine will have. You can override many of these presets via the Settings control once you've created the initial virtual machine. The help file says, Depending on your [OS/VERSION] selection, VirtualBox will enable or disable certain VM settings that your guest operating system may require. This is particularly important for 64-bit guestS. So, for example, if I select as MS Windows, Windows XP - the next pane shows a base-memory requirement of 192MB . If instead, I selected Linux, Linux 2.2 , the next pane recommends a memory of 64MB . So , What is suitable for LFS in VirtualBox? I'd suggest choosing the OS of Linux, with the Version of 'Linux 2.6' (or 2.6 64bit if appropriate) . On the next pane, it will recommend 256MB of memory - which if you can afford to increase, I suggest you do. I'd also suggest that you create in the Virtual Media Manager a Fixed Size Storage drive of 512MB and use it as your swap partition. I recall running into trouble using the 'dynamic' style drive for my swap space If you run into trouble, feel free to email me (directly or via the list). I use VirtualBox a lot, and have run LFS via it before. Then again, I am only a hobbyist - so if anyone else can amplify or correct this information, please do! Alexander H.

Remove the gcc-4.X.Y and gcc-build directories, then repeat all the steps from section 5.5. If any step ends with an error, stop there, and ask for help if you need to. (in case it isn't clear, I think you probably had an error in an earlier command in section 5.5). ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, OMG poneys! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

It looks like you've made a folder /mnt/lfs/gcc-build to compile gcc in.
That suggests that the whole of /mnt/lfs is writable by the user (gnu? -
you should be working as the user lfs). The book is quite clear, only
/mnt/lfs/{sources,tools} should be writable by the user. You should untar
things in /mnt/lfs/sources then cd into the folder you've untared and then
begin executing the commands.
