Re: [lfs-support] GCC-4.7.1-Pass 2 MPC configure fails

The failure is:- checking for MPFR... no configure: error: libmpfr not found or uses a different ABI (including static vs shared). make[1]: *** [configure-mpc] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build' make: *** [all] Error 2 Everything has built fine up to this stage and the sanity checks were OK.

I'm 99.9% certain that I was in gcc-4.7.1; It's a routine -- untar and then cd. Even if I forgot once (which is unlikely) I don't believe that I would have forgotten on all four occasions; I always double check everything. I've now attempted building gcc for the fifth time and it has built OK; this is really weird. I've trawled the web and noticed that others have had the same error message in MPC configure without finding a positive answer. Could it be a strange intermittent bug? I'm not trying to shift responsibility from my own actions, but I just can't see what I did differently the fifth time around. Thanks again.

One way to make sure you are using the exact instructions is to create a short script for the package. For example: #!/bin/bash tar -xf package cd package configure ... 21 | teepkg.log make 21 | tee -a pkg.log make install 21 | tee -a pkg.log Then it's reproducible and you can narrow down issues with the logs. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [lfs-support] GCC-4.7.1-Pass 2 MPC configure fails
Hi Bruce I've now completed the temp build successfully, but digging around in the file system to try and track down that error I've noticed that I have the following directories under $LFS/tools (in addition to all the others of course):- x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu That can't be right can it? They seem to hold duplicated content.
