hello,

have had this error twice now:

make[2]:*** [tools/include/linux/errno.h] Error 1

make[2]:*** Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-2.5.1/iconv'

make[1]:*** [iconv/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]:*** Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-2.5.1'
make:*** [all] Error 2

any tips?

thank you for your time,

mikel

Did you read this section of the book?

hello,

thanks. i apologize.

EDIT: using 6.3, LiveCD,

This still does not tell anything about the error. Also, it would be useful to know what you're trying to compile.

hello,

i was trying to install glibc-2.5.1 . when i ran 'make' i had that output. what could have i done wrong?

It seems to me there is inconsistency in the directory that you are using for the source work.
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-2.5.1'
-- should have entered /mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-build -- ??

-- the commands are coming from the source directory, but the configured directory is /mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-build -- ??
make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-2.5.1/iconv'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 /mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-build/../include/linux/limits.h /tools/include/linux/limits.h

are you consistent in issuing the commands from glibc-build directory?
I would suggest removing the glibc-build directory and start over with the glibc-2.5.1 section in the book. The /usr/bin/install above looks suspicious to me at the point where /../ but I may not be adapting to how you have done your configuration and build.

Many things. Please give us enough information to help you. Provide more output from the failed make (you may need to paste 30-40 lines, maybe more). Just as the section I originally referred you to says, we need to know what make was trying to do when it failed. Also tell us which section you are working on. Glibc is built more than once. Finally, tell us ALL the things you've done to deviate from the instructions in the book (I know you haven't followed the instructions because you are building in /mnt/lfs/tools).

hello,

yeah. i realized my mistake a couple of minutes after i posted the message (the output i posted was when i tried to run make again without deleting the glibc* and glibc-folder and starting it over once again, thus having the correct output message of the make, not some condensed one or few last lines(if i'm not mistaken))

since it was around 4AM here and i was moments from being asleep at that time i just didn't have the energy to post something to this effect, as i SHOULD(!) have,since you guys took the time and effort to help me on my problem.

i'm planning to start all over again, taking good care that i follow the book to the letter . but unfortunately not right now, maybe in a day or two.

well, thats all for now, i would like to thank you guys for responding to my post. i really appreciate the gesture. i apologize for not taking the time to read the Help section of the book as weibullguy pointed out to me(and embarrassingly, posting another mistake after he did so).

i'm really excited about installing and studying LFS. and i'm most assuredly comming back in a day or two to pester you guys with really silly questions , for that i hope you will forgive.

my appreciation.

thank you for your time,

mikel
