Re: why gcc must be built two times?
Le Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:04:07 -0800 (PST), Marco Marzetta aristarcoarchet...@yahoo.it a écrit : Hi, I finished building LFS. Now looking through the manual I find BLFS to section 6.3 to install GCC version 4.1.2, but in reality GCC is already installed with LFS in paragraph 6.15 and in a version 4.4.1. Why should I install twice the same package?! What is this mess?! First, the BLFS book isn't to be followed linearly like the LFS book. It's more like a collection of HOWTOs to install specific programs or libraries. Second, the BLFS book is quite outdated these days, so that explains the difference of versions between GCC in LFS end GCC in BLFS. Third, the GCC instructions in the BLFS book install only C and C++ compilers, because that is what is needed for a basic system. The BLFS instructions show how to install more compilers, like Java, Ada, Fortran, Objective C... So you use those instructions (or better, you adapt them) if you need those specific compilers. Hope I was clear. \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.

Re: LFS is at 6.5 BLFS is at 6.3 Why?
Le Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:23:03 -0500, stosss sto...@gmail.com a écrit : Why does LFS stay so far ahead of BLFS? What is the point of building the newest LFS if the BLFS files are older and probably won't work or would be replacing newer versions of apps with older versions? There is a note on the BLFS that says in one or two months a new BLFS will be released. There is no date as to when that was put there or a target date for release. What is the target date for that one or two months? Use SVN if you are using LFS 6.4 what about LFS 6.5? It looks like the smart thing to do to avoid problems would be to build LFS 6.4 and then BLFS SVN/6.4 which is the reason for my orginial question in the subject. I think one thing is not in the book : the answer to the question why is this package not in the book/why is this version so old/why doesn't the book evolve any faster Come on, guys, what do you think you are dealing with ? This is an entirely free, cooperative work. Nothing advances if noone provides work for it to move on. So the correct answer to those questions should be : move your ass, you bl...y bas...rd !!!. \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.

Upgrading in chapter 5
Hi. I started a LFS-dev last week. I'm at the end of chapter 5 (doing something else at the same time...), and I noticed this morning that Linux was upgraded to 2.6.31.3. Do I have to start it all over, or can I just change the linux headers by installing the new ones ? More precisely, does the Glibc installation from chapter 5 depends on the headers ? \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.

Re: LFS 6.4 now boots

Sure this is the right behaviour ! If only for you next time ;-) In the end, while in menuconfig, I think it was a few sub-settings(that I did not do before) I tried under the Drivers - ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL category that made the difference. I can't be more specific in that regard since being booted in lfs now I can only look at the config file with vim which lays out the information differently and can't prompt my memory well enough. Maybe some dmesg study, and looking at the modules loaded, could help you discover what are the right options. Hard stuff to do it first, then it's quite allways the same thing, especially for old material (don't argue, Celeron is not bright new hardware !). One thing I would like to say for other newbies is that when you enter that menuconfig part in section 8.3.1 each item in it has a help tab that gives very useful information about that particular setting. I Tabbed through all of the kernel options and read most of those help files. They're not large like Man files but still gives you good info to make decisions on including an item or not. So having looked at what hardware I have and using the help files I added some of these which are not set to default( for the most part that my memory serves) with kernel source: Yeah, but some are quite confusing. The only thing I look at most of the time is : If you don't understand, say yes or say no ! Enjoy your brand new LFS !

I just bought a new central unit, a Dualcore 2.2GHz, with a 8600GT GC. I'd like to install LFS ASAP, but I have problems with the base system. I installed a Debian 4.0, which detected my PC as a x86-64-unknown. This prevents me from compiling gcc correctly : ld can't find the proper libc.a, as I understood the matter. I also tried a mandriva, but things are worse, for I'm even more incompetent with rpms than with debs. So one of my questions is : where can I find the perfect guide for the minimal host system, especially with a dual core ? Dual-Core isn't that much a problem - its more than the host system is a 64bit one and you're trying to do 32bit LFS - but here i'm not quite sure if i'm right. Maybe someone who is familiar with 32/64 bit issues can jump in here. Problem is Debian detects an AMD64 where there is only a 32 Intel DualCore. Strange, and annoying for the build.

I bootstrapped my LFSs on a Core2Duo-T5600 in a Thinkpad from the LiveCD and that worked quite well. This is what I'm doing right now.

Base system problem
Hi. I just bought a new central unit, a Dualcore 2.2GHz, with a 8600GT GC. I'd like to install LFS ASAP, but I have problems with the base system. I installed a Debian 4.0, which detected my PC as a x86-64-unknown. This prevents me from compiling gcc correctly : ld can't find the proper libc.a, as I understood the matter. I also tried a mandriva, but things are worse, for I'm even more incompetent with rpms than with debs. So one of my questions is : where can I find the perfect guide for the minimal host system, especially with a dual core ? Another one, maybe a better solution : can I use a LFS liveCD to install the base system ? And if yes, can I temporarly install the LiveCD on my HD, for more comfort during the transition ? Thanks for anyone having some advices. \bye PS : LFS sucks : now that I've been using it for 7 years, I can't use Debain, nor Mandriva, nor Window$ anymore ;-P -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.

E2fsprogs (1.40.3)
Hi guys. I'm trying to build a new LFS system to track down a problem I have with Java. In version SVN-20071208 of the book, there is a mention of E2fsprogs version 1.40.3. Although I found a link on the sourceforge page, the package doesn't seem to exist : the last version is still 1.40.2. Or is it so imminent that the package was used in the book to prepare for the change ? Maybe a timewarp ? ;-) \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.

Problem with OO and JDK
Hi.
I want to build OO (Open Office) with the last BLFS. I had to download OO
2.3, because 2.2 is not available anymore. But I don't think it's an
issue here.
In the build process, I get this error message :
checking if uudecode can decode base 64 file... yes
checking if /opt/jdk/bin/java works... configure: error: The Java
VM /opt/jdk/bin/java failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

*---
ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making /sources/OOG680_m5/berkeleydb
dmake: Error code 1, while making 'build_instsetoo_native'
---* *---
Checking the log, I saw this :

config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)
Problem is, my CLASSPATH is up to date before the . LinuxX86Env.Set.sh
call, but after this, it's set to just /opt/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar:..
I saw that the Extra bytes message may come from the 1.5 version of
Java. I'm quite puzzled there, I just want to use OO to read the silly
Powerpoint some friends send me, and to have a spreadsheet (but I can
live with something else, just this is what we use in my school). I never
use te other apps.
I saw some binaries (beurk), but thay are rpm or deb format, so I don't
know what to do with them. I had no problems compiling OO on my previous
system (LFS too), now it's becoming hard, wouldn't you say ?
For reference, this is my configure command :
./configure --prefix=/opt/openoffice-2.2.1 \

Error compiling binutils (chapter 6.11) with -O3 optimization flag
Hi. I went into an error building binutils (LFS SVN). Being an old LFS user, I wanted to go for some optimizations, so I followed the optimization hint, aware of the fact that I could run into troubles. So that's where I ran, and I wanted to signal this, which is in fact allready in the knoledge base of binutils (or is it sourcemage ?) : http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12741 using gcc-4.1.1 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../binutils -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I../../binutils -I../bfd -I../../binutils/../bfd -I../../binutils/../include -I../../binutils/../intl -I../intl -DLOCALEDIR=\/usr/share/locale\ -Dbin_dummy_emulation=bin_vanilla_emulation -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -O -march=athlon-tbird -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe -O3 -c ../../binutils/wrstabs.c cc1: warnings being treated as errors ../../binutils/wrstabs.c: In function 'stab_tag_type': ../../binutils/wrstabs.c:1297: warning: 'size' is used uninitialized in this function make[4]: *** [wrstabs.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/binutils-2.17/buildit/binutils' Workaround : It happens only when compiling with -O3. With -O3, if using --disable-werror, the test suite fails badly afterwhile. With -O2 it is OK. (Tested with gcc 4.1.1) (In reply to comment #1) maybe the -Werror should be filtered out? Hope this can be of some help. Maybe a note in the book ? Or maybe this is up to the user of the book to be aware of this ?

Freebox configuration
Hi all users, and especially french users. I received my freebox today (a DSL modem provided by Free.fr). I want to switch from my old USB Alcatel Speedtouch modem to this new modem. The Linux part of the documentation is only for Debian users, and I didn't find anything general enough to make up my mind. The modem has USB and Ethernet connections. I'd like to use the Ethernet connection. The documentation mentions the use of a dhcp client to use it. So I read the Dhcp client part of the BLFS book. But I don't know how to fit the doc tips to the book : it says that I should configure an /etc/network/interfaces file for the eth0 port, and add something like : # configuration eth0 for DHCP via Freebox auto iface eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp How should this be translated to the BLFS system ?

One suggestion for LFS and BLFS books, and a typo
Hi. I've been an LFS user for quite a long time now, and there's one thing (only ONE thing !) I don't like in the books : I'm used to put all the packages I download in a directory just above /sources (namely /sources/LFS or /sources/BLFS), and when I install a package, there's sometimes some extra stuff to use, for example a patch, or some extra documentation, or datas... The instructions are allways refering to this extra material being placed in the /sources directory (or whatever directory you use to build your packages). Couldn't it be more practical to refer to a $BLFS_PACKAGES variable, to permit everyone to put it wherever they want ? A variable that should be initialized at the beginning of the books, just like $LFS or $XORG_PREFIX or others... Isn't this a good idea ? Next, one typo (I think), because I'm a math teacher and want my pupils to make the difference : in the fontconfig page of the BLFS book, there's something like this : There are additional configuration files shipped with Fontconfig in /etc/fonts/conf.d that will be enabled if their names begin with 2 numbers, e.g., /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-autohint.conf. It should be digits and not numbers :-) Now that I've said it, you do as you want ;-) \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS http://nicolas.francois.free.fr A TRUE Klingon programmer does NOT comment his code -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: Font problem after upgrading Xorg

But I don't know how to solve it. Can you help ? More generally seaking, I ALLWAYS have problems with fonts :-( I hope I understand this before the end of my first life ! Yes, the fonts can be quite obnoxious. First, where did Xorg-6.9 install the fonts? If you're following the BLFS svn instructions, they should be in $X_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts, where X_PREFIX is /usr or /usr/X11R6 or whatever. Note that the old setup set Fontdir = /usr/share/fonts in hosts.def. However, this created a lot of problems because X ships with a lot of ugly fonts that we don't want Fontconfig to know about. Yeah, but what about _MY_ ugly fonts ? ;-) Second, look at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Near the top of the file should be a couple of dir entries. By default, these are just /usr/share/fonts and ~/.fonts. The way we handle the default setup now is to make two symlinks from /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF - X_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and a similar one for the OTF fonts. These are the only ones from X that you want Fontconfig to know about. All other fonts you download, like FreeFont, should be installed in /usr/share/fonts. So what do I have to add to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to be sure Qt and Gtk find their fonts again ? I added dir/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/dir and also tried to add my texmf font dir, but clearly this is not a good idea. I think it's not enough. What can I do more ? I'm jumping all over the place. Sorry about that. Read this page: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/xfree86-setup.html The fonts setup section has been pretty revamped. Report back if you are confused about things. It should just work once Fontconfig knows about the right fonts for KDE/GTK-2/etc. I compared the two pages from BLFS 6.0 and BLFS SVN, but my knowledge is clearly unsufficient to decode the differences and the consequences. /etc/fonts/fonts.conf is for the core X Font protocol. How do I change the Xft behaviour ? And what about the FontPath lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Any more help would be greatly appreciated :-) \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS http://nicolas.francois.free.fr A TRUE Klingon programmer does NOT comment his code -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
