[SOLVED] Error While Trying Build of Binutils (1st Attempt)

druuna · 06-10-2011, 11:04 AM

Hi,

/tools should be present and is not removed during the build. Before you enter the chrooted environment, what does ls -l / show? If /tools -> /mnt/lfs/tools is not present, do the following (as root):

Code:

ln -sv $LFS/tools /

Hope this helps.

Hi,

That link is there. Here is the output:

What else could be causing the error? Thanks.

Hi,

You did verify that $LFS is mounted? df -h | grep $LFS

Does this provide any output: ls -l /tools/bin/env

Hope this helps.

Hi,

$LFS was not mounted although I did mount it this morning. Also "echo $LFS" did not work even though I fixed it this morning. Here are the latest commands and outputs:

Quote:

dhcppc0:~ # df -h | grep $LFS
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.
dhcppc0:~ # echo $LFS

dhcppc0:~ # export LFS=/mnt/lfs
dhcppc0:~ # echo $LFS
/mnt/lfs
dhcppc0:~ # mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb6 $LFS
dhcppc0:~ # df -h | grep $LFS
/dev/sdb6 9.9G 265M 9.1G 3% /mnt/lfs
dhcppc0:~ # ls -l /tools/bin/env
ls: cannot access /tools/bin/env: No such file or directory
dhcppc0:~ # chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin /tools/bin/bash --login +h
chroot: failed to run command `/tools/bin/env': No such file or directory

After becoming "root user" this morning I checked "echo $LFS": no output - ran "export LFS=/mnt/lfs" - that fixed "echo" command. Ran check if LFS was mounted - no output - mounted LFS using "df -h | grep $LFS" command. Ran the other "mount" commands.
I don't know how or why they changed. Thank you for your patience and help.

Hi,

I might have an idea what has happened.

Unmount $LFS (umount /mnt/lfs) and post the output of ls -la /mnt/lfs/

I'm guessing you build (part of?) LFS while /dev/sdb6 was not mounted. If that is true then you need to delete everything and start from the beginning again.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Here are the results of advised actions:

Thanks. I cd'd into /tools/bin and there is no /env directory or file.

Hi,

I've decided to start over from beginning. Thank you very much for your help.

druuna · 06-11-2011, 12:54 AM

Hi again,

Maybe the following will help you with you new build:

- Add the following line to your /root.bashrc file: export LFS=/mnt/lfs
- Add this to your /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb6 /mnt/lfs ext3 defaults 0 2

The above 2 suggestion need to be added to your host (Suse if I recall correctly). This way the LFS variable will always be set and LFS will be mounted when booting.

Good luck with the new build!

gdawg · 06-12-2011, 09:42 AM

Hi,
Thanks again for all your help. I think some of the problem has to do with the external hard drive I'm installing lfs on. I've noticed that it doesn't light-up until I boot win 7.

Kind regards,

Glen
