do it right the way the book says,--- that way you can track down any errors that pop up........... |
If you want the SBU values listed in the rest of the book to be of any use, you will have to measure the time it takes to build this package -- from the configuration up to and including the first install. To achieve this easily, you could wrap the four commands in a time command like this: time { ./configure ... && ... && ... && make install; }.
i thought it would measure the time it took to compile so i could get a better idea of how long it would take to compile the other packages. anyway i tried each command seperatly and am now stuck at a different spot. here is the output: brian@work:~$ su lfs Password: lfs@work:/home/brian$ cd /mnt/lfs lfs@work:/mnt/lfs$ ls binutils-2.14 binutils-build lost+found sources tools lfs@work:/mnt/lfs$ cd binutils-build lfs@work:/mnt/lfs/binutils-build$ source ~/.bash_profile /u:/w/$ ../binutils-2.14/configure --prefix=/tools --disable-nls loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-ar... no checking for ar...

have you tried repating the procedure from the start? without the time {...} wrapper
|
I suggest checking the permission in the packages directory. And whenever there is a failure, it is best to delete the package's source, and re-untar the new, clean source package.
Edit:: I forgot to mention, you should clean the environment before unpacking the sources, just to make sure. |
i went through the book again, corrected the time and date on the computer and now it works. strange stuff. my newbieness shining through.
thanks for the help |
