Re: [lfs-support] can't compile gcc pass 1
My error with this page, even after having built one or two versions of
LFS, was that the last line:
gcc compilation OK
that made me ignore the other lines, when some of these lines were
telling me that I had requirements to fix.
I thought: all right, host can compile, so the other lines are just
additional information or recommendations, may be.
i had the same problem. so i reworked the script.
i moved the compile test after checking for gcc, and put linux at the
end, as there have to be checked 2 versions
the output does not only show min requirement, but the current version
the book builds too.
my script aborts if /bin/sh is not bash, awk not gawk or yacc not bison.
if awk or yacc are scripts, i show a message to check the script.

Also, I find it funny how often the sh - dash issue is pointed out as an issue, yet to my knowledge it hasn't caused any actual problems for some time now.

Hi, all:
Unfortunately, after rebuilding LFS on a USB flash, I still kept obtaining
the following errors as shown in picture
http://visionopen.com/questions/lfs_svn_20130102_usbflash_boot.jpg:
Are those question marks problematic?
My configuration of booting LFS is also pasted:
*menuentry MyLinux distribution (on /dev/sdd1) --class gnu-linux --class
gnu --class os {*
* insmod gzio*
* insmod part_msdos*
* insmod ext2*
* set root='(hd3,msdos1)'*
* search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
a2d0f92a-eca8-4121-a998-99c70d4df67b*
* echo 'Loading MyLinux ...'*
* linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.7.1-lfs-SVN-20130102
root=UUID=a2d0f92a-eca8-4121-a998-99c70d4df67b ro recovery nomodeset *
* echo 'Loading MyLinux ...'*
*}*
1) Some users told me that in order to use UUID, an *initrd must be built*,
instead of only *vmlinuz*. However, it seems LFS manual doesn't mention *
initrd* quite clearly.
2) I guess now the problem has little to do with *grub* configuration
because I'm pretty sure that*/dev/sdd1* is just *(hd3,msdos1)*, which is of
UUID *a2d0f92a-eca8-4121-a998-99c70d4df67b*
What else am I missing ? Please do give me some hints... Thank you very
much...
Best Regards

Try running the version-check.sh from the beginning of the book.
I think at this point I'm just going to start over. Haven't really
done that much yet, and since I've clearly missed something obscure
somewhere, it's probably easier to wipe the slate clean than to try to
figure out what it is.
Wiping the slate clean and starting over did solve my issue, if you're
interested. I also took a cue from you and scripted it as I went, so now
I have a completed and reproducible post-Chapter 5 environment. On to
Chapter 6.

agree.
so why not check just the very important stuff?
check the versions for
- bash
- binutils
- gcc
- texinfo
i guess any distro matching at requested versions for these packages
should have the other packages requrements too.
more important than more package-versions are imho a working compiler
- gcc compilation
the kernel
- version
where as 'compiled with' should be met by the gcc version too. i am not
aware of any distro shipping the kernel compiled with a older version of
gcc than the kernel (ok, maybe the .point release does not match).
and the links
- sh
- yacc
- awk
as some distros seem to get rid of the /usr/{bin,sbin} my script checks
for /usr and /usr/bin. if one of the links fails, i STOP the script with
an error.
i guess with an approach like that, less novices will fail in the very
beginning.
just my thoughts...

Try this. Note that I want the user to actually check the versions of
the packages manually, not just rely on a script to do it.

Here is another version. I can't say I really like it. The original is
40 lines and this is 73. All this because users either don't have
enough experience to understand what's there now or because a user
(generally experienced) just skips it.
After all, the book says:
/bin/sh should be a symbolic or hard link to bash
/usr/bin/yacc should be a link to bison or small script that executes bison
/usr/bin/awk should be a link to gawk
We then print out all the current values on the system.
How much hand holding do we need to do?

Generally the problem is that the symlinks are not set and occasionally makeinfo is not installed. Rarely is the problem an out-of-date executable. My issue with the script isn't whether it's short or long - it's whether the reader understands that they need to read the script output, and check it against the list of requirements. As such, I'm not particularly in favour of making the script smart enough to do that checking for the reader. The reader *must* understand that doing an LFS build involves some thinking - that it's not just a bunch of stuff to copy-paste without understanding what they're doing.
