hey i was trying to do lfs earlier on ubuntu and i encountered many problems now im trying to make it on mint linux wich seems to be going a bit better but now i ran into a snag. on glibc when i try to make i get this:

first of all i didnt name my lfs 'lfs' so can that lfs in the code be causing the problems if so how can i change it

the rest up to here installed perfectly which is much more than i did on ubuntu...

i ran the version-check.sh and i only had to install one item to make it complient but on the list i could not find glibc but eglibc 2.15 im assuming that this is the actual problem if so how can i change it?

thanks

Hi

In binutils chapter 5.4 did you issue the symlink

yup i restarted the whole thing once just to make sure that was my first guess before posting here :/

but i'll try it again it should take +/- 30 mins

The other symlink is in chapter 5.5

ok just finished trying it again... the same message popped up :/

Give it a try with the LiveCD I've made for 7.1. Maybe you'll have better luck with it. I was able to finish it myself only after using it.

I think the key is to copy/paste the commands from the manual as supposed to type it.

Good luck.

hmmm i didnt know there was a live cd that works with 7.1 i'll try it if my new attempt on mint (this time im using an old version) maybe its that glibc thats the problem

uhul looks like changing to an older os worked for some odd reason well worked +/- now im on 5.8 adjusting the tool chain the new problem seems fairly simple but i dont know why im not being able to solve it when i run this:

SPECS=`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs
$LFS_TGT-gcc -dumpspecs | sed \
-e 's@/lib\(64\)\?/ld@/tools&@g' \
-e "/^\*cpp:$/{n;s,$, -isystem /tools/include,}" > $SPECS
echo "New specs file is: $SPECS"
unset SPECS

on the '$LFS_TGT-gcc...' part im being told that i dont have permission which i find odd cause i gave lfs user permission... i found the file in question manually and gave lfs permission for that file and it still didnt work...

and suggestions?

Bizarre. Let's try this.

Reboot with the live CD that I've made, make an SSH connection to it.
Then do this (remember, just copy and paste)

You should only have /dev/sda1 for swap, and all the rest into /dev/sda2 or the grub instructions at the end of the manual won't work. If you haven't partitioned that way, please redo from scratch with that partitioning in mind..

export LFS=/mnt/lfs
mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/sda2 $LFS
/sbin/swapon -v /dev/sda1
cd $LFS

groupadd lfs
useradd -s /bin/bash -g lfs -m -k /dev/null lfs
passwd lfs

**** STOP COPY HERE AS YOU NEED TO PUT THE NEW PASSWORD ****
**** WHEN COMPLETED, CONTINUE COPYING AND PASTING ****

chown -v lfs $LFS/tools
chown -v lfs $LFS/sources
su - lfs

cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF"
exec env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' /bin/bash
EOF

cat > ~/.bashrc << "EOF"
set +h
umask 022
LFS=/mnt/lfs
LC_ALL=POSIX
LFS_TGT=$(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
export LFS LC_ALL LFS_TGT PATH
EOF

source ~/.bash_profile
export LFS=/mnt/lfs

... and give it another shot. Make sure when you copy and paste to hit enter if the see the last line of the pasted items so that it can be executed as well.

SPECS=`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs
$LFS_TGT-gcc -dumpspecs | sed -e 's@/lib\(64\)\?/ld@/tools&@g' -e "/^\*cpp:$/{n;s,$, -isystem /tools/include,}" > $SPECS
echo "New specs file is: $SPECS"
unset SPECS

What I have indicated above (minus chapter 5.8 instructions) needs to be done every time you reboot the LiveCD before an SSH connection for chapter 5 only. If not, problem occurs (including permissions) and you'll need to recompile what has been missed, which is really hard to find sometimes....

well i saw you vid i found it cool but can it be used to make a 64 bit lfs?


lol i used your os and found out where i made a mistake (i did the same when using your os) so i corrected it on mint and am continuing on both of them. since yours was built for lfs its a safe reference

thanks

Nah. According to this link: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...hitecture.html

... It says:

'The primary target architecture of LFS is the 32-bit Intel CPU. If you have not built an LFS system before, you should probably start with that target. The 32-bit architecture is the most widely supported Linux system and is most compatible with both open source and proprietary software'

... So I decided to make my life simple and do 32-bit Intel CPU architecture for now.

Hi

Can you post what the problem was so as to aid others.

Glad my LiveCD could help out. I've made another video about installing LFS 7.1 with VmWare Workstation 8 showing what to do up to Chapter 5.8. Hopefully this can useful to others about how to make this work for them.

Good luck !!

well when i was setting up the enviroment i forgot to change a directory to the name that i was using


cat > ~/.bashrc << "EOF"
set +h
umask 022
LFS=/mnt/lfs
LC_ALL=POSIX
LFS_TGT=$(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
export LFS LC_ALL LFS_TGT PATH
EOF

since i decided not to use the name lfs / LFS i also had to change it in the code as well but i forgot to change whats in bold

well another snag on mint but i think its from lack of attention so im only going to work with your gentoo untill i finish the whole process btw is it possible to write a 16 bit system? if im doing lfs to learn i might as well play a little as well

Thx for letting us know. That would be great if you could mark this thread as resolved so that it can be used as a reference later on.

Cheers ...
