LOL. That's html. The book is in xml docbook.
I'll see what I can do.
I've looked at the patch briefly. I'm pretty sure that using rm to
remove an executable is a bad idea in a system that might not always
have package management. I'd also note that shadow will likely install
man pages for the executable, and the patch does not have any
instructions to handle that.
Bruce, my suggestion would be to add a new sed based off the one for
disabling the groups executable. I'd imagine that something like this
would do the trick:
sed -i 's/nologin$(EXEEXT) //' src/Makefile.in
find man -name Makefile.in -exec sed -i 's/nologin\.8 / /' {} \;

Re: more glibc problems
Sorry to barge in all of a sudden, but I just want to clear up some info: On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 2:14 PM, Andrew Elian e_lio...@hotmail.com wrote: It seems to me you will have two major difficulties with your current LFS build: 1) your build host is old and 2) using an amd64 with a 32 bit linux. Not in itself a bad thing, but as you have discovered, some packages will do strange things and fail to compile. Well, actually, having a 32bit host on a 64bit system will not be much different from building 32bit on 32bit or 64bit on 64bit. The only substantal difference is that 32bit systems can only access up to 4 GB of RAM due to limitations, while 64bit systems have no limit. Quoting from the book (section iii, LFS Target Architectures): The gain from going to a 64-bit system is relatively minimal. Of course, if you have more than 4GB of RAM or want to manipulate data that exceeds 4GB, the advantages of a 64-bit system are substantial. That, and the fact that packages compiled against static libraries will not compile unless the library was compiled with -fPIC. Therefore unless he has more than 4GB of RAM (which I doubt, as only computer enthusiasts really have more than that, and if he was one, I don't think he will be this helpless), I don't really recommend building 64bit systems right now. But that doesn't mean that you can still try, oh no, you will just have a more challenging experience, and if you like that, go ahead. But otherwise, don't go 64bits. I will strongly recommend the x86_64-Pure64 Cross Linux From Scratch book as it deals with building on a host which is very different than the target. Give development version (as it is the most up to date) a try and see how it goes. Actually, I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU USE CLFS. It's nothing personal, but the reason why is that it's meant for experts, experts that are not like you. The book is less stable, and the stable version right now is less up to date. They also do things quite diffrerently in the book, so it will be tougher to follow right now. When you feel like it, sure, But not for your first build. Oh, and it's dangerous to go alone.

I think you messed up when entering the adjusting the toolchain

Attach the configure log for both gcc and libstdc++ and try these commands out:
echo 'main(){}' dummy.c
$LFS_TGT-gcc -B/tools/lib dummy.c
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'
If this returns:

or something like that, then you adjusted the toolchain right.

Segfaults usually mean you have some issue with your hardware. Try getting Memtest86+ (located at http://www.memtest.org/), and run it for 3 passes. If it errors out, it means you have problems with your memory. Another reason is that your CPU is overheating. If it is, your CPU heatsink is not working, and you should get a new one.

From looking at the fstab, it looks like you are using the decerpated
ATA setup. You should not be doing this. Disable the decperated ATA
support and enable SATA and PATA support option, and select whatever
hard drive controller you're using (lspci is your friend here), and
select Generic ATA Support. Also, modify your fstab from
/dev/hda{1,5} to /dev/sda{1,5}.
Also, can you please give me an ls of /dev from your host system, and
what host system is it?

The only information I could find was from 2009 and used a version of lvm2 that is no longer available also the only patch is for this version LVM2.2.02.53 I made an attempt to install lfs and got to the kernel were I not able to compile the kernel sources. A little background I have been using linux since about 1997 and I now use gentoo on all my machines I was looking at lfs to install on my hp mini 311 with an atom processor I have gentoo booting from an external usb hard drive and was hoping to do a lfs installation in the same manner also do I need a 2 to 3 g partition for the / directory or a 10 g partition the reason I ask is my gentoo / partition is 750 m and my partition layout for lfs on lvm would be. I thank you for your time The LFS partitioning guide should help you out somewhat on how big you should make your partitions. Other than that, you should look at my updated hint for LVM as well to get the updated version of the tools mentioned. Also, to help you out, this is my partitioning setup for LVM: /dev/sda1 - /boot - 100 MB (Seperate partition from the LVM setuo, to keep GRUB from malfunctioning.) /dev/lfs/swap - swap - 3 GB (I adjust the swap size to match the amount of RAM in the machine. If I had 4GB or higher, I would defintly expand this partition.) /dev/lfs/root - / - 10 GB (If you have a 10 GB partition for root, I'd defiantly recommend separate partitions for /var and /sources or /usr/src.) /dev/lfs/opt - /opt - 10 GB /dev/lfs/tmp - /tmp - 2 GB /dev/lfs/var - /var - 40 GB (I defiantly recommend using this partition, as the last time I've tried a seprate partition setup, my root partition got full after installing a full KDE4. I'd defintly use this partition.) /dev/lfs/sources - /sources - 40 GB (This could be the /usr/src partition, in my system, /usr/src is a link to /sources.) /dev/lfs/home - /home - 40 GB (In a regular system, this fills the remander space, but in a LVM2 system, I'd make it 40 GB to leave some extra space for growing and snapshoting.) This partition layout takes up 145 GB of hard drive space (I use a 320 GB hard drive, making 175 GB of free partitioning space to grow partitions or to take snapshots of them.) Depending on your hard drive space, you might want to adjust my layout a bit to conserve space. But, before I go, remember this #1 LVM Rule: Always leave space for partitions to grow or to make snapshots. -- William Immendorf The ultimate in free computing.

It allows you to use dmraid (most RAID add-on boards), and/or Linux kernel md RAID. It also allows you to encrypt the RAID array, and use LVM2 on top of the encryption. The rootfs can then be a logical volume. Any of these transformations can be omitted, but the transformations must be layered in this order. It is worth noting explicitly that this hint does not cover encrypting a single logical volume (encryption after LVM); it only covers encrypting the entire PV. PREREQUISITES: On the host: - LVM2 userspace tools, if required. - dmraid, if required. - mdadm, if required. - LUKS-capable cryptsetup, if required. - Also all dependencies of the above packages. For the LFS system: Required: - Sources for LVM2 userspace tools (with device-mapper): at least version 2.02.53. Note that all the other packages require device-mapper, so you will need the LVM2 package even if you don't plan on using LVM. (NOTE: This package is now in BLFS, but the instructions only build the device-mapper part of the package. To build the LVM2 parts of the package, use the instructions in this hint.) http://sourceware.org/lvm2/ ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/LVM2.2.02.67.tgz - Patch for LVM2 udev rules, to make them work better with udev in LFS. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/lvm2/LVM2-2.02.67-fix_udev_rules-1.patch - Sources for lfs-initramfs, newest stable version. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~bryan/lfs-initramfs-1.0.tar.bz2 Optional (depends on configuration): - dmraid sources: newest stable version. http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dmraid/src/ http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dmraid/src/dmraid-1.0.0.rc16.tar.bz2 - mdadm sources: newest stable version. http://neil.brown.name/blog/mdadm http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils

On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 12:29 PM, stosss sto...@gmail.com wrote: You will probably see an expected (ignored) failure in the posix/annexc test. In addition the Glibc test suite is somewhat dependent on the host system. This is a list of the most common issues: In other words: * posix/annexc ALWAYS fails, and it is ignored. So you can ignore that test. * nptl/tst-cancel1 fails with GCC 4.1.*, but only LFS 6.3 uses that, so that shouldn't fail if you use more recent GCC versions. * nptl/tst-(cpu)clock2 and tst-attr3 fail probably because of high system load, but it could be for other reasons. * You may see some math tests fail if you are not using a recent Intel or AMD processor (ie: if you are using Cytrix or VIA or maybe a old Intel or AMD processor) * If you mount the LFS partition with noatime, the atime test fails, so don't use noatime when mounting the LFS partition. * Old and slow hardware can cause some tests to fail because of timeouts being exceeded on these tests. So, if you see any errors that are not the ones I mentioned when you use grep Error glibc-check-log, you have a big problem.

My impression is that 'Worst' counts down, and I think the RAW_VALUE column (the last one) is the first place to look (zero in this case).
