Im having a hard time getting make to work on pass1. I have read the forums but cannot seem to find the exact problem. I have verified all dependencies.

below is the config.log and results of version-check.sh, directly below is the error im getting from terminal using make on gcc - any help is greatly appreciated, if i missed this in a post i apologize, but ive checked many times to resolve.

There are some problems with your dependencies
Using Ubuntu as host is not recommended. You should use the liveCD instead.

P.S.: You can attach your logs here on LQ. There is no need for external links.

Thank you crts.

Can i use the Live CD and build the LFS in a VM? You state that 'Using Ubuntu as host is not recommended' - why is that and does that mean its not possible?

I couldn't figure out how to add an attachment in this post thats why i posted an external link :-( I felt dumb, but i looked at every button when i created the post, even tried multiple browsers and O/S but i just do see the 'attach' button :-)

Thanks again for taking your time, i really appreciate it.

crts - im just going to try it with the live cd. I should be able to do that in a vm and that way i dont have to worry about the rest. kinda disappointed tho cause now i have to load up a system im only going to use to compile another system - would rather do it on my primary linux box. oh well.

Hi,

yes, that is possible. I have done so myself.

It is probably possible but fulfilling the dependencies might break your system (that is also true for other hosts). The LFS liveCD was specifically designed to be a host for building LFS. For more info on that matter please search the LFS forum here. You will find several threads about that.
I think, you can not add attachments when you post the very first time here on LQ (spam protection, I guess). You should be able to do so from now on. Keep in mind that only certain suffixes will be accepted in the filename like *.txt, *png etc.
You are welcome.

P.S.: In the future please also state which version of LFS you are trying to build.

Why not just boot the live CD? If you are worried about how slow it will go the when you boot the cdrom pass parameters at the startup

That will load the live cd into ram and make things work faster than having it on the HD its self. you will have to mount the cd though to get sources (outdated its recommened that you use live cd and download sources from the current book) and X server drivers if needed to start Xorg.

Good Luck!

Ha, i knew i wasn't crazy bout the attachment, makes sense why i couldnt find it. I am giving it a go from the liveCD which is a bit slower going already (cant copy/paste from the host, but i'll try xorg) I will use the updated files as jmc suggested.

Im building LFS 6.7 - good point on mentioning the version, i had not thought of that.

Thanks, you guys have been most helpful.

The live CD has GPM installed so I should give you copy and paste fuctionallity. But you can also use the GUI that have install by typing "startx" if it fails you may have to modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf with your driver info etc. They also include some nvidia and ati propriatary drivers as well. Good luck to you.
