Hello,

I'm taking my first stab at Linux from scratch and trying to ease into cross compiling by using the same platform (x86_64) for both my target and host. I have been able to configure the 2.6.25.6 kernel headers, build binutils 2.18, and get a "boot" version of the gcc c compiler. I'm now trying to build glibc 2.7 and getting the following error:

a - login/setutxent.os
a - login/getutxent.os
a - login/endutxent.os
a - login/getutxid.os

If you're building on or for an x86_64 platform, I would recommend Cross Linux from Scratch (multilib) --> http://trac.cross-lfs.org/. The development version of the book is stable for x86_64 right now; other architectures aren't yet.

Since you're not following the instructions as written in the LFS book, it's difficult to say what your actual problem is. How have you deviated from the instructions other than what is obvious from what you have posted?

Hi,
Did you get solution for this problem? Kindly share the information

hi,

Have you solved this problem? I got the same issue when I build glibc. Appreciate for any suggestions.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi,

I am having the same problem with Glibc, only I am using i686, not x86_64.

@ubuntudude12:

This thread is 3.5 years old and LFS has changed a lot since back then.

Please start a new thread and give us your specific information:
- LFS version you are trying to build,
- the host you are using (is it compliant?),
- the chapter you have trouble building,
- the error shown (and at least 5 to 10 lines before the error),
- anything that you might think is relevant.

Hope this helps.

hi...

I am facing the same problem in different forms, Forms are:
1. -lgcc not found
2. -lgcc_s not found
3. -lc not found
4. linker is not configured to reach sysroot.

All the time I execute a file.. one of the following errors will occur.

.
.
Please, let me know if you have got the solution to this..

Thanks

Manoj

Hi as mentioned above, can you start a new thread and details of host and the ouput of version-check, Also more details on what you are following which book

Yes, s/he did: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-error-920382/
