This was my quick and dirty way to keep track of where I was when I installed LFS for the first time few weeks ago. Of course downloading does not mean installed but I disciplined myself to update the wget_log.txt if I don't install the package. I could certaily improve this two liner script with a time stamp of some sort. Maybe when I want to reinstall again. :) Anyway I very much enjoy LFS so far.

It also might give a false result if wget fails. In my case, I use 'ls' to see if I downloaded a package, and hope that I notice any failed downloads (mostly, I use firefox on a desktop for downloads - I deviate from the book by NOT building in /sources because for me that is an nfs mount). In LFS people sometimes either forget to install a package, or accidentally jump a page and skip a package. There are many ways of recording that a *script* completed, but we always tell people to build things in LFS _by_hand_ for at least the first time. When you understand how it all fits together, creating scripts which suit your own way of working is the right thing to do. Typically, you will want to write a 'stamp' file somewhere to show that a package has been built and installed. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [lfs-support] How to know how many packages are installed?
How many packages are installed? I don't know. I suppose you can count the installs in chapter 6. Is a package installed? Hm, check the chapter related to installing the package and see if any of the files detailed in the "Contents of" section exist on your system. ~ On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 3:33 PM, Mario St-Gelais wrote: > On Wed, 31 Oct 2012 01:04:49 -0700 (PDT) > gmspro wrote: > > > Is there any way to know how many packages are installed? > > Is it possible to know if a package is installed or not? > > > > Thanks. > > > > I am very new to LFS.

Doh! I should have looked at my own logs - that looks fine, and
the lfs gcc is correctly found when it tests for gcc. My apologies.

Those points 1. and 2. are still worth checking.

These points are NOT worth checking because in fact it used the
correct -lfs- gcc. Instead please try the following as the lfs user:
echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
/tools/bin/x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc dummy.c
Do you get any output from this ? If not, did it correctly create
a.out this time ?

Thanks. In pass2 binutils you should be building with the pass1 gcc, which ought to mean the build system type is x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu. Instead, you seem to be using your host's compiler. I suppose that breaks because either or both of the pass1 ar and ranlib are being used. Your original post showed you were setting CC, AR, RANLIB to the LFS_TGT versions, which is correct. So, please review the following: 1. Are you using fresh source and build directories for pass2 binutils ? If not, you need to, so just remove the binutils-2.22 and binutils-build directories, and similarly use fresh directories each time you build something. 2. I'm assuming you correctly set LFS_TGT to x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu ? Did you perhaps omit it on one of the earlier packages ? If everything was build correctly, you should have the following programs [ just a spot-check that each package has been installed: ] binutils pass 1 /tools/bin/x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-addr2line gcc pass 1 /tools/bin/x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-cpp linux headers /tools/include/asm-generic/auxvec.h glibc /tools/bin/catchsegv Are these all present ? 3. If everything so far looks good, I don't know what to suggest. You appear to be telling configure to use CC=$LFS_TGT-gcc but it is somehow trying to use the regular x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc. Is /tools/bin/gcc a hardlink to x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc ? You can find that out with ls -li /tools/bin/*gcc (the inode numbers will be identical if it is a hard link, and it should be a hardlink until you have installed gcc pas 2) ĸen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Please take any problems with packages which aren't in the LFS book to blfs-support. And I really don't think this indicates a problem with your base LFS system :) Googling for log10@@GLIBC_2.2.5 shows it comes from libm. It looks as if you are using an old version of audiofile, and either glibc-2.15 or 2.16 : there are sundry bug reports in google for packages where libm needed to be added in the CFLAGS or LDFLAGS. Please try the current version (0.3.4, according to BLFS from earlier this week) which is labelled as building on LFS-7.2 without needing any fixes. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

My log has no such error. It's a pretty simple build with only alsa-lib as a dependency.
