Hello All,
It's unclear whether the email list is restricted to just the stable
version-- if so, just say the word and I'll abandon DEV for STABLE. If
not, I could use a hand figuring out the cause of an install failure.
The details:
1) Building to a blank system, using Debian Live CD
(debian-live-6.0.3-i386-rescue), which includes all necessary build tools.
2) As stated, I'm following LFS-DEV (SVN-20111201) to the letter with a
couple minor deviations.
3) Deviations to the book are limited to:
Adding lfs user to sudoers file with 'ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL'.
If you are following the book, this is not necessary.
Using indirect $SPECS file creation in _5.8. Adjusting the Toolchain_ by
doing
$LFS_TGT-gcc -dumpspecs | sed \
-e 's@/lib\(64\)\?/ld@/tools@g' \
-e /^\*cpp:$/{n;s,$, -isystem /tools/include,} ./specs
sudo mv ./specs /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/4.6.2
Mostly not a problem, but no need for sudo here.
instead of the direct method
$LFS_TGT-gcc -dumpspecs | sed \
-e 's@/lib\(64\)\?/ld@/tools@g' \
-e /^\*cpp:$/{n;s,$, -isystem /tools/include,} $SPECS
used in the book.
4) So far all steps have executed without a hitch, until reaching the
install step of _5.9.1. Installation of Binutils_. Then the following is
reported:
The relevant lines are:
libtool: install: i686-lfs-linux-gnu-ranlib /tools/lib/libbfd.a

Looks like you've been installing stuff as the root user, which I
suspect is the reason for adding the lfs user to sudoers. This is most
likely the cause of your problems. rm -rf /tools/*, go back to the
beginning of Chapter 5, and do the entire chapter as the lfs user,
without using root until the book says to.

I see numerous similar lines in your output - basically, it appears to
be looking in /bin and /lib for gcc files, rather than /usr/{bin,lib}.
Does ls /lib/gcc give any output? Also, did you deviate from the
book's instructions in any way other than adding Package User commands?
Even if you did not do so deliberately, you might want to go back
through your command history to verify what you actually typed vs.
what's in the book.

The system has to know where to attach the data structures in the file tree. You could create a script to do a 'mkdir -p mountpoint; mount...', but that's overkill. Now I'm confused again. I thought that creating a directory actually writes data into a place on a hard disk that the kernel allocates for the directory. Something about inodes, if I remember right. But if that's so, and a filesystem is not yet mounted, where does that data get written? It looks like the cart is before the horse. Specifically, if you want to do mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/lfs, but you have to create the directory /mnt/lfs BEFORE you do the mount, then where does the inode information about /mnt/lfs get written? I'm sure I'm missing some details. I don't see why there is any confusion here. Before you mount to a directory, the mount point is...just a directory. I don't understand the question about directory inodes with mounting - a created directory does of course take up some space on the disk, same as any other file.

That directory should not exist. This would seem to indicate some
mistyped directory option, but your dummy.log contents say that GCC was
configured with --prefix=/usr and --libexecdir=/usr/lib, which are both
correct. Installing GCC into /usr certainly shouldn't create any
directories or files in /bin or /lib. Do you have logs of your GCC

In the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountfs

That should not be needed. I believe this points to a problem with Udev,
as it should create /dev/pts when it starts. Did you deviate from the

However, if the new version does not work as expected there will be six more months until the eventual needed fix be introduced, and go into the following release. []s, Fernando I've implemented my idea at Cross-LFS; you can see the page here - http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/x86/prologue/hostreqs.html - I've also added slightly more explicit descriptive text. 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. Makes me wonder if it's only there to verify whether users are really reading the book, rather than for any real, practical purposes. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

You don't need to set anything in the kernel - it just takes some time for it all to be loaded from USB, so you only need a delay. Add rootdelay=10 to the kernel line in your bootloader config (feel free to adjust the number, could try lower if you want to see if it will work with less delay, or higher if needed). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [lfs-support] Issues with compiling GCC-4.8.1 (LFS 7.4)
On 11/02/2013 08:14 AM, Bernard Hurley wrote:
Hi there!
I have been trying to compile GCC-4.8.1 in section 5.5 of LFS 7.4. The
first problem was that the compiler didn't seem to understand (a
parameter to configure on p.37):
--disable-libstdc++-v3
In case anyone else has the problem, I found after running configure
--help that the solution seems to be to replace it with:
--disable-libstdcxx
--disable-libstdc++-v3 works just fine, so you must have mistyped something.
The second problem is a bit more intractible. Having made the apbove
adjustment to configure, when I run make it bombs out with:
snip ===

make: *** [all] Error 2
snip ===
One problem I'm seeing in this output is that you are running this from
$LFS/gcc-build, and have apparently unpacked GCC's source inside that
dir, which is not what you're supposed to be doing. Go back and read
page 5.3 very carefully.
I have the following environment variables set:
LFS=/mnt/lfs
LFS_TGT=x86_64-lfs_7_4-linux-gnu
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
Apparently you've modified $LFS_TGT from what the book says to use.
Granted, this particular change should not be a problem, but it does
indicate that you've deviated from the book's instructions. In what
other ways have you done things differently from the book?
There appears to be somthing wrong with the sed command on page 37:
sed -i '/k prot/agcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes' gcc/configure
as the output from 'grep k prot gcc/configure' (before running sed)
is:
# Test for stack protector support in target C library.
# all versions of Bionic support stack protector
There is nothing wrong with that sed command - you are just
misunderstanding what it actually does. Try changing the -i to
-i.bak and then doing a diff -au gcc/configure{.bak,} to see the
differences.
Another thing that seems strange is the configure option (again on page
37):
--with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/mpfr/src/.libs
There is no file mpfr/src/.libs, in fact there is nothing called
.libs in the whole of mpfr's source tree.
Are you saying that you are getting an error of some kind about this?
That directory should be created during compile, so it shouldn't matter
that it doesn't exist when you unpack the source.
If you've read so far you are truly one of my heros! I hope to be able
to contribute to the community myself once I have built LFS.
Kind regards,
Bernard.

Go back and read page 5.3 very carefully. Further, if you've managed to create $LFS/gcc-build, it means you either chowned $LFS to the lfs user, or temporarily became root to create $LFS/gcc-build, neither of which the LFS book says to do. In general, if you get some kind of permissions error, you should stop and double-check that you're doing what you're supposed to, rather than forcing root. If the book is correctly followed, you should be able to do all of Chapter 5 entirely as the lfs user. Also, if you did chown $LFS, you should chown it back to root. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I was trying to follow the instructions precisely. I agree this seems to be the cause of the problem. This is an external drive that auto mounts to the (user) media folder, and (root) dev folder. The only reason it says media/lfs is because I added a label in gparted. Debian is using uuid identifiers - which is causing me problems. Would it help if I replaced LFS=/mnt/lfs with something else? Also, I have 2 partitions on that external drive. They both mount showing 500GB, when the drive is only 500GB. Thanks. Sorry, but if you really need to ask this, LFS is just too advanced for you.
