lfs_rocks · 02-07-2008, 10:48 PM

Hi all

i am at the stage of installing glibc in chapter 6 ....(6.9)

i hav used these commands as given in the ebook..

Quote:

make -k check 2>&1 | tee glibc-check-log
grep Error glibc-check-log

Errors

Quote:

root:/sources/glibc-build# grep Error glibc-check-log
make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-attr3.out] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-cancel1.out] Error 1
make[1]: *** [nptl/tests] Error 2
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/debug/tst-chk3.out] Error 1

make[1]: *** [debug/tests] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/c++-types-check.out] Error 1
make: *** [check] Error 2
root:/sources/glibc-build#

The errors such as nptl/tst-cancel1 , tst-attr3 , posix/annexc were mentioned in the ebook as common errors....

its given that posix/annexc error can be ignored...

There are more errors which are not mentioned in the ebook...errors such as debug/tst-chk3.out , debug/tst-lfschk3.out & c++-types-check.out

Can i ignore these errors...if not..Please tell me how to resolve these errors....

Hi,

As mentioned in the same chapter (LFS 6.3 chapter 6.9):

Quote:

You will probably see an expected (ignored) failure in the posix/annexc test. In addition the Glibc test suite is somewhat dependent on the host system. This is a list of the most common issues:

The nptl/tst-cancel1 test will fail when using the 4.1 series of GCC.

If this is the only 'error', keep going.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If the errors aren't mentioned in the book you can also take a look at the LFS 6.3 buildlogs. If they aren't mentioned there then you need to figure out what went wrong before you go any further.

Glibc is one of the more important packages that will be installed, so you need to be sure that all issues are resolved.
