Re: [lfs-support] Lfs building problems
And by source you mean the dirs containing the unpacked packages? Is this information missing in the book or have I missed it? And thanks so much. /Jerry Skickat från Yahoo Mail på Android -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

[lfs-support] Lfs building problems
Hi, I'm trying to follow the Lfs Book 7.4. It worked for a while, now I'm stucked. Before I start all over, one question: In several places in the Book I run into situations like As in the first build of GCC it requires the GMP, MPFR andMPC packages. Unpack the tarballs and move them into therequired directory names: tar -Jxf ../mpfr-3.1.2.tar.xz mv -v mpfr-3.1.2 mpfr tar -Jxf ../gmp-5.1.2.tar.xz mv -v gmp-5.1.2 gmp tar -zxf ../mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz mv -v mpc-1.0.1 mpc Create a separate build directory again: mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build The problem is that in my case, for instance, the mpfr dir already exists. So my question is: is the mpfr left as a result of the build process failure at some previous step? If not, am I suppose to delete the mptr dir or should it be left as it is? The same problem occurs with a number of xxx-build dirs. Otherwise, despite the fact that, so far, I cannot build the LFS, the book is excellent.

Always delete the directories (souce as well as any build dir) before you build a package in a later stage. Deleting them after completing the package's install is best, providing you remembered to do everything in the install. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
