[SOLVED] 5.9. Binutils-2.25 - Pass 2 configure fails

zeshanuk · 03-29-2015, 04:47 PM

im sure people have been able to do this (get past binutils 2nd pass) on centos somewhere and I should be ok because my host has all the prequisite software installed as version check shows....I really need help I really dont wanna move on to another distro for host.....

last idea

Code:

ls -l $LFS/tools

Unfortunately it's the distribution. CentOS is based on Red Hat which it and Fedora are known to have problems. We aren't entirely certain, but the way they patch certain packages often affects how the system works and it ends up killing GCC.

The evidence of this can be found by running this:

Code:

cat > library-check.sh << "EOF"
#!/bin/bash
for lib in lib{gmp,mpfr,mpc}.la; do
  echo $lib: $(if find /usr/lib* -name $lib|
               grep -q $lib;then :;else echo not;fi) found
done
unset lib
EOF

bash library-check.sh

Slackware is one of a few distributions that include the static libraries ".la" of the gmp, mfpr, and mpc libraries required to rebuild GCC and binutils.

run the script Reaper mentioned

also shouldn't lib be linked to lib64

zeshanuk · 03-29-2015, 05:14 PM

hi spiky, can you send me the full command to link correctly lib and lib64 and I will try issue the configure command again, thanks in advance.

spiky0011 · 03-29-2015, 05:16 PM

At the end of binutils pass 1 Ch 5.4

Not got a 64bit machine about but lib64 should be linked

Reaper will know

zeshanuk · 03-29-2015, 05:35 PM

thanks for the time you took on this...do you think Reaper will come back then? Is there a way of notifying him I would like his input?

spiky0011 · 03-29-2015, 05:39 PM

I really think thats the problem

whats inside tools/lib64

also the script reaper put

zeshanuk · 03-29-2015, 05:42 PM

hi spiky,

this is what is in tools/lib64

Quote:

lfs:/mnt/lfs/tools/lib64$ ls
libstdc++.a libstdc++.a-gdb.py libstdc++.la libsupc++.a libsupc++.la
lfs:/mnt/lfs/tools/lib64$

zeshanuk · 03-29-2015, 06:26 PM

output from reaper script is:

Quote:

lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$ bash library-check.sh
find: `/usr/lib64/audit': Permission denied
libgmp.la: not found
find: `/usr/lib64/audit': Permission denied

sorry for the delay.....

So there is no file /tools/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. Which is needed by any new program to run in built LFS.

Check if /tools/lib has it? Or is it present in /tools filesystem tree by using 'find' command.

zeshanuk · 03-30-2015, 03:33 AM

Hi veerain,

The file seems to be in /tools/lib, see below the output of the find command I issued.

Quote:

[root@Unknown tools]# find /mnt/lfs/tools -name "ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"
/mnt/lfs/tools/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
[root@Unknown tools]#

Thanks for looking at this problem too...
