Ok, so I got past my Inetutils problem, but now im running into a issue with installing Perl, the next section lol.

So Ill go through and do the echo command and both of the export commands in the untapped Perl-5.20.0 file. I run through the sh Configure command without any visible errors.

When I go to the make command, I get this at the end of the command:

Making x2p stuff
make[1]: Entering directory '/sources/perl-5.20.0/x2p'
You haven't done a "make depend" yet!
Makefile:132: recipe for target 'hash.o' failed
make[1]: *** [hash.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/perl-5.20.0/x2p'
Makefile:286: recipe for target 'translators' failed
make: *** [translators] Error 2

Now, after last post I had, I tried moving on and doing the rest of it.

make -k test comes back clean

make install:

I even tried moving on to the XML:Parser section and perl cannot find Makefile.PL which im assuming is because of errors in the PERL installation.

Yes, try backtracking through the packages you already have installed and see if you may have accidentally missed one. Sometimes you can forget a section and mess up accidentally. The C preprocessor could be anything between GCC and Perl.

Try this:

Go through the chapters and look for the "Short Descriptions" section and run this command on at least one of the files mentioned:

It should spit out a /path/to/... per each mentioned. If it doesn't then you may need to recheck that package.

Ok, I went through and the only place I found anything missing when running whereis xxxx was all the way back at the GCC-4.9.1 installation 6.17. I did end up running most of the other short descriptions from GCC to Perl and they all checked out. The ones missing from GCC were:

libtsan
libiberty
libgcov
libgcc

If I have to do a re install from this point (fingers crossed no...84 sbu lol pass), would it be a full re do, or would I just have to do this section again? And would I be able to just overwrite whats already existing?

And just reading the descriptions on those missing, I couldn't quite figure out if they even related to the issue I'm having with Perl, and was wondering if you could elaborate.

Thanks!

Since LFS is the core and is fairly small, you could rebuild it fairly quickly. I can tell you, you can save a TON of time by skipping the checks and tests. The sanity checks for GCC and binutils are really all you need to use. You could probably rebuild everything in about 8 hours if you utilize your multi-core CPU with make -jX replacing X with the number of CPU cores in your system +1 (if you use a dual-core and use make -j3 it enables the CPU precache).

You can try to rebuild GCC and reinstall and see if it helps first, but because other components were built against the bootstrap GCC, they may not have the right optimizations or builds against the finalized GCC built in Chapter 6.

Ok, Ill try to do the GCC rebuild on its own first to see what happens, if worse comes to worse, I made a backup after I finished the preparation of the LFS system (thank god).
