That's a typical failure. In fact, there is a patch included in the
latest version of LFS that disables that test because it almost always
fails. Just run make check again (no need to recompile everything) and
see if there are are more errors.

Did you read the entire message I sent? When bash was installed it was
using /usr/bin/install to copy the files when it should have been using
/tools/bin/install. There's more wrong with your lfs installation than
just bash...you need to start over from the beginning.

So why does the following line pop out? root:/sources# cc dummy.c /tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Is the ld above a different program? Is it the one created in 6.12 with command make -C ld INSTALL=/tools/bin/install install? If so - why does it look for crt1.o where it should? Have been investigating that for the past hour with no success. Any help will be much appreciated... Thank you in advance! Best regards, David Ciecierski It doesn't necessarily mean that it can't find crt1.o, it could mean that it can't find something that crt1.o links to. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I fixed the above error by adding this to chapter 6.6:
ln -s /tools/lib/libstdc++.{so,.6} /usr/lib
I have no idea if this is the correct fix, or if the problem was
somewhere
else. There was no libstdc++* in /mnt/lfs/ or its subdirectories when I
got
to 6.21.
I don't think that's a problem with the fact that you stopped and
restarted - if libstdc++ does not exist in /usr/lib then you forgot to
install the c++ compiler in chap. 6. Does /usr/bin/gcc exist?
No it did not, I noticed this when Groff wouldn't configure complaining that
it couldn't compile c++ programs. There were no gcc or c++ or even cc in
/usr/bin. Very strange, but everyting worked after I installed gcc.
Should I compile ncurces again?
Thanks
Ilja
No, recompiling ncurses won't help if gcc is missing from /usr. Try
checking a couple more things for me...
1. Run the sanity check at the end of the Re-adjusting the toolchain
section and let me know the results.
2. Does /lib/libc.so.6 exist?
3. Does /usr/bin/ar, as, and ld exist?

You need to followup on Sorry about that lfs-support. Second, by symlinking the c++ compiler from /tools into /usr you have corrupted the build process. You should go back and I only symlinked libstdc++.so (and .6), does that make any difference? reinstall gcc by the book and then rebuild every package that uses any c++ in it. Some use just a tiny bit, some use a lot. If you can determine absolutely which packages need c++, then should be able to get away with rebuilding just those packages. Otherwise, rebuild everything I installed gcc by the book just before Groff (6.27), so it should be enough to rebuild packages 6.15-6.26? from gcc on. Thanks Ilja You shouldn't have to symlink anything unless it tells you to in the book. If you do have to then you need to go back and figure out what's wrong before going any further.

Ken Yeah, apparently module-init-tools does link against the static library (libz.so doesn't show up in ldd output on any of the module-init-tools programs, on either my gcc4 system (with correct zlib.so.1.2.3 symlink) or my 6.1 system (with the wrong 1.2.2 symlink)). When I ran ldd on several programs that *do* link to zlib's shared library (like libpng, freetype, and fontconfig) they use /lib/libz.so.1 anyway, so maybe it doesn't really matter... Of course the symlink should be correct, but I still don't think that's the cause of the problem being discussed in this thread.

Re: Sanity check error

Topic: Chapter 5; Adjusting the Toolchain; sanity check
Host system: Berry Linux LiveCD 0.62 (LFS LiveCD does not boot on my

The following is the issue that presents itself when I attempt to
perform the sanity check in chapter 5 under Adjusting the Toolchain
before moving on to the tcl installation:
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ echo 'main(){}' dummy.c

Trying with gcc instead of cc yields the same error message. I have
performed all actions prescribed by the LFS book up to this point, and I
have also attempted to correct the issue using the ways prescribed
directly below the sanity check commands in the book. I have, however,
had trouble with two commands in Binutils Pass 1. The commands /make
-C ld clean/ and /make -C ld LIB_PATH=/tools/lib/ always either yield
the messages /ld: no such file or directory/ or /nothing to be done in
ld/. So, instead, I issued the command /make ld LIB_PATH=/tools/lib/,
which seemed to have worked, but I am uncertain. I do not know if this
is the cause of the sanity check problem, but I find that it is
difficult to connect these two process failures. But I could be wrong,
of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am no longer
able to configure or make any packages. Thank you.
If a command in the book does not work and you don't know why, please
don't try anything different. If make -C ld LIB_PATH=/tools/lib didn't
work then something went wrong earlier. Were you still in the
binutils-build directory when you issued the make ld -C command?

For example, it would keep you from accidently installing a package into /usr instead of /tools. I know that the hint says that this stuff doesn't matter because it won't permanently mess up the root filesystem (the worst that could happen is you have to reboot) but that kind of mistake could cause you to have to start the whole thing over - much better to prevent it to begin with. Also, the idea of setting up a script to recreate lfs user settings isn't needed either - just keep copies of .bash_profile and .bashrc somewhere on the partition where you're building ($LFS/tempenv directory or something like that). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: p54 'make -C ld clean' - no ld directory

By default, its base system does not have a static C library (/usr/lib/libc.a) which is required for the static compilation of packages. You need to install the glibc-static-devel RPM, which is on the third CD. You can verify the succesfull installation by verifying that /usr/lib/libc.a exists. If you're using LFS 4.1, check that everything in $LFS/static/bin is built static by using file $LFS/static/bin/*. If a package is not statically linked, reinstall it with the instructions from chapter 5. However, it is not the same error message, and I am getting errors when I try to install binutils itself. Also, I am using FC4, not Mandrake. Do FC4 and Mandrake have the same problem? No, the Mandrake problem is a completely unrelated issue with a much older version of lfs (and I believe that entry should be removed from the FAQ). If I end up violated etiquette, please tell me and I will change my behavior. Now onto my problem: After I went through the bin-utils configure - make - make install sequence, I tried to execute the commands on page 54: make -C ld clean But an error tells me that there is no such directory as ld. The only thing that I can think would have caused a problem is that, the first time I tried to compile and install bin-utils, I did it using the time function, with the syntax on LFS page 53. It gave me a time to use for my SBU, but nothing was written to /tools. When I then did the commands separately, in the order they are written in the book, some things were installed in /tools. However, I still get the no ld directory error when I try to do 'make -C ld clean'. Using the time function won't change anything, assuming you typed everything correctly. Since I did everything in exactly the order in the book as user lfs, I was still in my binutils-build directory, when I did the 'make -C ld clean.' Thinking that maybe I was in the wrong place, I checked /tools to see if there was an ld dir, but there wasn't. Since the book never tells you to leave the binutils-build dir (until, of course, you've completely finished the installation) the ld dir is supposed to be in binutils-build. I have followed the book directions exactly, not customizing anything. I am using LFS 6.1, the stable version. My host system is FC4 default install. I am using packages copied from the latest LFS Live CD, and I confirmed that they are the same versions as the ones in the LFS book I am using, so I don't think packages are the problem. The only thing that might be relevant is the fact that the copied-over files belong to mcooper, not user lfs. Since the perm are 644, I did not think that was part of the problem. As far as permissions/ownership for the package tarballs, the only thing that matters is that they are readable by the lfs user (and since you managed to successfully unpack the binutils tarball you obviously can read it, so permissions are not an issue in this case). Also, I looked at the errata on the LFS site and checked the FAQs, but I did not see anything that looked like it might be relevant. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Did you pay attention to the make output and make sure there were no errors?

Re: LFS-Book, Chapter 6 reentering for 6.9
Clemens Haupt wrote:
To whom it may concern!
There might be a lot of scripts if one have to leave the building
process after he once came up as the chrooted root sucessfully.
So I have minimized the number of issues to necessarily have to be made
for an environment to go on building and compiling.
I would be glad if it could be tested by anyone other, thank you.
You can just use the scripts suggested in the livecd hint (but ignore
everything else in that hint...).
Not a problem, just a curiosity: Chapter 6.1:
The remainder of this book is to be performed while logged in as user
root and no longer as user lfs. Also, double check that $LFS is set.
And as I'm told, in $LFS/sources there only should be buinutils from
before.
And in chapter 6.3 one should chroot. But im chapter 6.9 one needs
the headers
cp -R include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm
How? Which? From where?
It tells you right in the book - the linux-libc-headers - the same
package you unpacked in chapter 5. I really don't see why this is
difficult to understand.
On the LiveCD there arn't any and which is unaccessible and to where?
Neither asm nor asm-i386 has been built before.
But much more funny
cp -R include/linux /usr/include
chown -R root:root /usr/include/{asm,linux}
It tells you in the book right before this that you are to chrooted.
Again, what is difficult to understand about this? You just follow the
instructions in the book.
Who should do it? The root of the LiveCD or the chrooted one?
Where to get the sources from?
The sources should be in the exact same place they've always been - in
$LFS/source...unless of course you removed them.
So one should have ignored the hints and not deleted linux-libcheaders-
-2.6.11.2/ in $LFS/sources because there is the so called asm-i386
and inspite of cp -R include/linux /usr/include made linux inside.
then as changed root
cd /sources/linux-libc-headers-2.6.11.2 and copy. But not
cp -R include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm!
Better
cp -R include/asm-i386/* /usr/include/asm if it's the best choice and
cp -R include/linux/* /usr/include/linux
Now I just plain don't know what you're talking about. The book IS clear
and it is simple to understand - you unpack the tarball, enter that
directory, and follow the instructions - exactly as you did in Chapter
5, as stated in section 5.1. You seem to be in need of going over the
book's suggested Linux prerequisites before trying LFS again.
Sometimes the Book is perfectly clear, but not here. Who did write this
chapter?
Kind regards

You don't need much config there and default works fine. Once you get the system up and running, go for blfs and you'll get some package compiling and building experiance. After that you can always go back to building lfs. I'm not going to mince words...this is the worst advice you can possibly offer an LFS newbie. ALFS is for experienced LFS builders who know what they're doing. If you are not able to build an LFS system yourself then you won't be able to do anything with the system that ALFS builds. Anyone who thinks that ALFS is a substitute for building a system yourself should just be using a precompiled Linux distro (which has been suggested to mrdaniel numerous times). Use that FIRST, then, after you get experience knowing how to use Linux, retry building LFS. As an interesting aside, there are two stanford grads. Please do support them and their little project. You see, their names are Larry Page Sergey Brin, and the project is called google. This IS a good suggestion. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
