[Guide] HowTo: Multilib LFS

I get make errors on that svn download:

Code:

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/profiling/profile-mode.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/profiling/profile-mode.xsl"

I don't know enough about xml to troubleshoot them.

You need to have installed libxml, libxslt, sgml-common, docbook-xml, and docbook-xsl-nons (in that order). Especially, note the post-install 'copy-and-paste' sections for sgml/docbook. What you got seems to mean the docbook-xsl stylesheets in particular were not installed correctly.

Also nice (necessary?) to have: tidy-html5 and lynx (optional). See the INSTALL file in the multilib/ dir. Once you have it set up, it works well. Takes <1 minute to render the html.

What I needed apparently was linuxdoc-tools. So now I have a version of the Book, but it doesn't appear to be multilib. As far as I can see, it's just the normal LFS 10.

PS: This edition contains a cross-reference to a multilib version online, so I can use that.

To get multilib version add one of below to "make" (see Makefile):
ARCH=ml_32
ARCH=ml_x32
ARCH=ml_all

For instance: "make ARCH=ml_all BASEDIR=/<destpath>/LFS-12056_ml".
Note that they are behind in updating the multilib version to current (the last change was Sept 25).

Yup, that does it. Thank you very much, bryan. I don't really need the current version; I just want a multilib version of LFS 10, so that I can run my printer out of it in case, for some reason, I can't use Slackware.

OK. Just building gcc and I'm intrigued that it requires a fourth built-in library, isl. Is this requirement going to be permanent from now on or is it just because this is a multilib build?

Also, why is there a third version of glibc? In the old multilib, there were only two.

Has anyone figured out how to build multilib versions of packages that use meson instead of configure? I have managed to get many packages in BLFS to build for multilib by applying the same principles in these messages. However, I am now having a hard time trying to build GLIb for multilib. GLib uses meson to configure the project. I have tried using the cross compile facilities of meson without success. At link time it is finding 64bit libs instead of 32bit libs when I am trying to build the 32bit version.

I haven't tried, but look at this:

Thanks for your reply. This was helpful, although it didn't completely solve my problem. There are still a few tests in the package that are building 64bit instead of 32bit and they are failing in the link phase of course. I will need to dig into this a little more this week and I will report back when I have more details.

Thanks.
