Re: [lfs-support] How to build a multilib LFS?
Henrik /KaarPoSoft hen...@kaarposoft.dk wrote: Dear all, I have build LFS and much of BLFS on my ancient 32bit machine. With a bit of tweaking, I have also got most of it to work on my new x86_64 machine. However, I do have a problem: I need xen virtualization. xen builds a BIOS using the dev86 package. This worked fine on i?86, but dev86 relies on a 32bit glibc, which is not available on a native x86_64 build. I have looked at xen package definitions for other distros, and they also seem to want dev86 at build-time. So, it seems I need a multilib LFS. If I try to build gcc pass1 with --enable-multilib, I end up with: checking whether the gcc -m32 linker (ld -m elf_x86_64 -m elf_i386) supports shared libraries... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make: *** [configure-zlib] Error 1 I tried to google this, and got a few hits, but nothing that enlightened me... I also tried to build binutils first with target x86_64 then i686, but gcc still fails. I have also looked a CLFS. They build a couple of packages before binutils and then gcc. But I cannot see any substantial differences in the gcc build itself... So: Any help / suggestions / info regarding LFS multilib would be most appreciated! I am new to multilib, so I a wondering about stuff like: - where in the toolchain building sequence should I target multilib? I tried pass 1, but maybe it would be enough to target multilib later? - what options should be used to configure the different packages at each phase? Thanks in advance! /Henrik Try cross-LFS -- Messages in plain text.

I have been digging the net for more than a month now, and recompiled my kernel over and over. But still no luck.

You apparently trust others' works more than you do your own. It's more that I see automated testing as being for the developer's benefit - so when writing code, it's essential to have tests a) covering as much of the code as possible, and b) passing reliably. That's important, because if I make a change and break something else, *I'm* the one who has to explain that to a customer. And that's not fun. It's my reputation on the line. As to trust, it's more that I assume that other developers have their own standards, and if they're willing to call something a stable release, they've done the work to ensure they have confidence in it. And if they haven't, well - what confidence should I have that their automated tests are useful? Simon: That is one heck of an assumption... If you assume everyone else does their job properly, I have a used car you might be interested in... Testing is not only for the program in question, it can also check for proper interaction with external required libs/progs. Have you ever heard that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?
