Problem solved. It seems I need to do *reconfigration *after setting CFLAGS=-L/tools/lib -lpthread, and then proceed to *make* . It's all about the ./configure. Better add one command *$ CFLAGS=-L/tools/lib -lpthread* before *./configure --prefix=/tools* in the user manual. cheers Pei On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 1:55 AM, JIA Pei jp4w...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Chris: Unfortunately, I spent another 4 hours to rebuild everything from scratch, with glibc patched this time.

Hi, Simon: The reason why I'm doing that (use binutils-2.23.1 instead of binutils-2.22) is I don't want to 100% strictly follow LFS book, so that I might be able to understand how to build my own Linux deeper. And, even now, I've got no idea why we need to patch binutils ?? Because without patching binutils, I'm still able to pass BinUtils Pass 1 Any further suggestions please?

Hi, Thank you Chris. Thanks for your reply. I now understand a bit more about why we need Binutils Pass 1 and Pass 2.

Re: [lfs-support] Is it a must to separate Binutils and GCC into Pass 1 and Pass 2?
Hi, Thanks Chris: Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, the reason why I'm using the latest version of Binutils is deu to the current wget-list: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/wget-list On this list, binutils-2.23.1 is used http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.23.1.tar.bz2 instead of binutils-2.22 . However, on the book, it's still using binutils-2.22 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/binutils-pass1.html I did notice for binutils-2.22 pass 1, there is a patch before everything starts compiling. patch -Np1 -i ../binutils-2.22-build_fix-1.patch However, I've got no idea whether this patch for binutils-2.22 is also working for binutils-2.23.1 ? Anyway, now, my question is: *is the patch a must?* Why didn't I meet any error message even without patching binutils during binutils Pass 1? Thanks again. I do need your detailed explanation.

I'm now following Pass 2 of Binutils http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/binutils-pass2.html the following step /CC=$LFS_TGT-gcc\/ /AR=$LFS_TGT-ar \/ /RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib \/ /../binutils-2.22/configure \/ /--prefix=/tools\/ /--disable-nls \/ /--with-lib-path=/tools/lib/ brings me error messages: /lfs@peijia-GA-870A-UD3:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$ CC=$LFS_TGT-gcc \/ / AR=$LFS_TGT-ar \/ / RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib \/ / ../binutils-2.23.1/configure \/ / --prefix=/tools\/ / --disable-nls \/ / --with-lib-path=/tools/lib/ /checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu/ /checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu/ /checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu/ /checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c/ /checking whether ln works... yes/ /checking whether ln -s works... yes/ /checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed/ /checking for gawk... gawk/ /checking for gcc... i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc/ /checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out/ /*checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build':*/ /*configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.*/ /If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'./ /See `config.log' for more details./ So, my question now is: is Pass 2 of binutils a must?? You are clearly having great difficulty. For one thing, you claim you are following the stable book but you are using versions from the latest development, and obviously that is not working well, and of course that doesn't take into account whatever other deviations from the book that you might be doing that you haven't mentioned. Solution: rm -rf $LFS/tools, go back to page 1, actually *read* every word in each page of the book, not just the commands (as most of your questions so far have in fact been answered right in the book itself), and do exactly as instructed, including the correct package versions. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- Pei JIA Email: jp4w...@gmail.com cell:+1 604-362-5816 Welcome to Vision Open http://www.visionopen.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
