[lfs-support] at command?
Since I get a command not found type error, I assume not, but I have to ask: 1) is the at command installed in any of the LFS packages? 2) Or, is there some other command that provides the same functionality? (start some job/batch file at a given time) 3) Finally, if not part of LFS, can anyone suggest where to find the sources so I can install it? Thanks for any help. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
[lfs-support] date timezone issue during portion of build
(I thought I sent this email a few days ago, but I don't see it on the list - so I hope this isn't a redundant post. Anyway...) I don't know if this is an actual issue, or if it's simply an expected by-product of the build process, but it's bugging the heck out of me not knowing! During part of the build, after coreutils is installed in section 5.18, until coreutils is installed in section 6.23, the date command will only return a UTC time. ie: Fri Dec 30 15:00:00 UTC 2011 instead of: Fri Dec 30 10:00:00 EST 2011 It seems to have something to do with the the date command that's installed is 5.18 coreutils (tools/usr/bin/date). That is, if the host's date is called directly,ie: by typing /bin/date instead of just date, then the expected date, with my local TZ, is displayed. This only seems to affect the lfs user, or while in the chroot. And in both cases only until 6.23. Using another terminal window or virtual console, and logged in as root, date returns the expected time and timezone (EST for me). I am fairly certain that this is not an actual issue with any of the instructions provided by the book, or even with the resulting build, as when all is said and done, the new LFS system works just fine, date and all. It just really annoys me during that time when the time is not my time. :) Finally, while I am currently using LFS 7.0, this issue has persisted for me since I started LFS a couple years ago, including book versions 6.5, 6.6, and 6.7. Additionally, it occurs even under numerous host systems, including: Arch, Mint, PCLOS, and even using previous LFS builds as the host. So, if anyone has an suggestions as to what I might check, even just a general direction, I would be grateful. Thanks for any help!

If not, I see no reason to worry. Thanks for the quick response. Basically, no, it's not causing any problems that I can tell, so I'm not really worried about it, especially since every thing else seems ok. It's probably just my anal retentive nature to want things to be my way. :) That, and I was hoping it would be an easy fix, and someone would see this tell me: Yo, moron, you just need to do... (some trivial task). Oh well ;) As for why I even noticed - I use a scripted build that displays a time stamp at the start of each package, along with an estimated finish time. So, mentally figuring UTC to EST for a few packages in the middle of the build is no big deal, other than my aforementioned anal-retentiveness. In anycase, thanks again for the response. And thanks to everyone who works on the LFS project.

v6.6 section 6.10, Re-adjusting the Toolchain
Hello,
I am having a problem getting thru section 6.10, Re-Adjusting the Toolchain.
The 3rd block of instructions seems to hang on the cc dummy.c... command. I
can ctrl-C, and it stops, but would like to know what may have caused it to not
complete, or if it is ok to continue.
From the Book, the 3rd block of commands are:
--
echo 'main(){}' dummy.c
cc dummy.c -v -Wl,--verbose dummy.log
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'
--
Here is the dummy.log file created:
--
Reading specs from /tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/specs
cc: unrecognized option '-v'
cc: unrecognized option '-mtune=generic'
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.3/configure --prefix=/tools
--with-local-prefix=/tools --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-shared
--enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++
--disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-multilib --disable-bootstrap
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC)
COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='-v' '-mtune=generic'
/tools/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/cc1
--
I don't know if it is useful, but also attached is a log of the output each of
the prior commands in section 6.10.
Any help or direction to a solution would be appreciated.
Thank you.
David Gay

The only thing that I see that is different with your code and the
book's code is in the first line:
Yours
echo 'main(){}' dummy.c # no space '
Book's
echo 'main(){}' dummy.c # space '
--
Thanks for the quick response. However, I tried the above both with and
without the space, and still get the same issue. It's interesting that in my
email the space is missing, as I simply did a copy paste directly from the
book.
Looking at the dummy.log file, I wonder if the following line indicates that I
mistyped/did something in an earlier step:
cc: unrecognized option '-mtune=generic'
Any idea which step may have introduced this problem?
Thanks again for any help.
