gcc compilation failed in version-check.sh script

Under the page http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/.../hostreqs.html there is a script that checks versions:

Code:

cat > version-check.sh << "EOF" #!/bin/bash # Simple script to list version numbers of critical development tools  export LC_ALL=C bash --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f2-4 echo "/bin/sh -> `readlink -f /bin/sh`" echo -n "Binutils: "; ld --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f3- bison --version | head -n1 if [ -e /usr/bin/yacc ];  then echo "/usr/bin/yacc -> `readlink -f /usr/bin/yacc`";    else echo "yacc not found"; fi  bzip2 --version 2>&1 < /dev/null | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f1,6- echo -n "Coreutils: "; chown --version | head -n1 | cut -d")" -f2 diff --version | head -n1 find --version | head -n1 gawk --version | head -n1 if [ -e /usr/bin/awk ];  then echo "/usr/bin/awk -> `readlink -f /usr/bin/awk`";    else echo "awk not found"; fi  gcc --version | head -n1 ldd --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f2-  # glibc version grep --version | head -n1 gzip --version | head -n1 cat /proc/version m4 --version | head -n1 make --version | head -n1 patch --version | head -n1 echo Perl `perl -V:version` sed --version | head -n1 tar --version | head -n1 echo "Texinfo: `makeinfo --version | head -n1`" xz --version | head -n1  echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c && gcc -o dummy dummy.c if [ -x dummy ]    then echo "gcc compilation OK";  else echo "gcc compilation failed"; fi rm -f dummy.c dummy EOF  bash version-check.sh

When running that script I have the following returned:

Code:

bash, version 4.2.24(1)-release

/bin/sh -> /bin/dash

Binutils: (GNU Binutils) 2.22

bison (GNU Bison) 2.5

/tools/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

gcc compilation failed

I have searched a lot trying to find any hits that would lead me toward an answer at why this is happening, but could anyone possibly guide me in a direction to identifying why it returns that the linker was not configured/collect2/gcc comp. failed?

Any help much appreciated, thank you!

You need to fix the bold blue part. /bin/sh should point to /bin/bash and not bin/dash

The brown part looks very odd. You are checking your host and I see a directory that points to /tools/bin? How did that happen. /tools is part of LFS and not relevant at this point (and surely unwanted!).

At this point it would probably be easier to just start from the beginning. Obviously I strayed from the guide to get myself to this point so I will accept my defeat :newbie:

Thank you for the quick reply :D

If these are leftovers from previous attempts then you should start from scratch again (and make sure all lfs related is removed).

Can you put up the [SOLVED] tag if this is resolved.

please help.. thankyou

Quote:

Install binutils.

what do you mean by this please explain as on my host system, binutils is installed and this is the command on 1.5.1 of the LFS 7.7.
thankyou

Re #7.

? May be you didn't install a complete "binutils", but only the run time files ?

$ sudo apt-get install binutils-dev

after installing this there is no improvement
output remains the same

Re #9.

Which output remains the same ?

/usr/local/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots

g++ compilation failed

1) You are not supposed to have any "/usr/local/bin/ld". Please uninstall or hide away.
2) Install g++ : $ sudo apt-get install g++
.. And run ./version-check.sh
.. to check that things improved.

When everything is OK : Start from scratch with chapter 5.4, Binutils-2.25 - Pass 1
