Yes, and what was in sources/glibc-2.18/build/nptl/tst-pthread- getattr.out How about optimizations? In which case why do you have sources/glibc-2.18/build and not / sources/glibc-build? GCC will definitely error when you put the build directory into the gcc source tree. Glibc may very well, too. Any other deviations you don't mention? Sincerely, William Harrington @William: Sorry, but using a separate build directory within the source tree has never caused me any trouble, not with gcc, glibc or any other package where it was recommended to use a separate build directory. Thus, I indeed recreated the tool chain again without the --libexec directive and had only the predicted errors - see below. So, somehow libexec did matter. I hope that in the final system this is not a problem. -- make[1]: Target 'check' not remade because of errors. make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/glibc-2.18' Makefile:9: recipe for target 'check' failed make: *** [check] Error 2 Display errors make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-2.18/build/posix/tst-getaddrinfo4.out] Error 1 make[2]: [/sources/glibc-2.18/build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored) make[1]: *** [posix/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-2.18/build/rt/tst-cpuclock2.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [rt/tests] Error 2 make[2]: [/sources/glibc-2.18/build/conform/run-conformtest.out] Error 1 (ignored) make: *** [check] Error 2 Enter key to install... --- So, I just continue to build the base system.

I might want to add info about Gummiboot [1] (or at least mention it) - it's really useful if you want to take advantage of EFI and still be able to choose almost instantly which OS you want to boot into. And you should also mention that the GPT tools are essential if you are building LFS on a EFI-enabled system. William [1]: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gummiboot/ - This requires gnu-efi (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gnu-efi-libs/), which in turn requires PCIUtils (I think). Gummiboot doesn't have a dedicated package host, but you can see the git repo (and get snapshot archives) from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gummiboot/ You're welcome, William. I wrote it this way as a result of a conversation on this list a couple of months ago. A hint, if this is not somehow incorporated into the book, is advisable. I purposefully didn't mention gummiboot because I wanted my presentation to be as minimal as possible. The same reason for no logic and references. I really like gummiboot. And yes, it it PCIutils that it needs. Thanks for mentioning GPT tools. Parted uses them, but I'm so used to using it that I didn't think to include it in my write up. While I've got you on the phone :) , I cannot get my LFS system to be gummiboot's default. This is my loader.conf: timeout 10 default lfs74.conf Have I not identified the LFS loader properly? The gummiboot examples have a number in their example loader.conf and I don't know whether that's a machine ID or UUID.

The same reason for no logic and references. I really like gummiboot. And yes, it it PCIutils that it needs. Yea, I really like what I saw of it. It doesn't have the overhead that GRUB has, and it lets you choose whether you want to boot into Linux or some other system. While I've got you on the phone :) , I cannot get my LFS system to be gummiboot's default. This is my loader.conf: timeout 10 default lfs74.conf Have I not identified the LFS loader properly? The gummiboot examples have a number in their example loader.conf and I don't know whether that's a machine ID or UUID. Change default lfs74.conf' to default lfs74. You are just supposed to put the name of the system without .conf after it. Gummiboot should work properly after that.
