help to compile glibc6

maxwellweb · 02-28-2009, 09:42 AM

this is my problem. first was with the ./configure --prefix=/tools (and the rest of the parameters) ...
gives the following error

Code:

checking for long double... yes
checking size of long double... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long double), 77
See `config.log' for more details.

and searching I found this solution into the site

Well the ./Configure (all parameter) is successful
The first solution is
use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/

Code:

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LFS/tools/lib ./glibc-2.3.6/configure --prefix=/usr --disable-profile --enable-add-ons --enable-kernel=2.6.0 --with-binutils=$LSF/tools/bin --without-gd --with-headers=$LFS/tools/include --without-selinux

good!

the next step is
make, follow the steps and this is my new problem

Code:

           from version.c:20:
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/socket.h:265: warning: C99 inline functions are not supported; using GNU89

make[1]: *** [csu/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/media/lfs/sources/glibc-build/glibc-2.3.6'

what is this error?
please if I can explain with some details would be very grateful

Um... unless I'm missing something, you seem to have several problems here. One is that you're using LFS 6.2, which in and of itself isn't bad, though it is about 2 and a half years old already; have you tried using the latest stable version, 6.4?

Besides that, though, the configure command you included in your post doesn't even match what's in the book and has a few typos/errors:

./glibc-2.3.6/configure is missing a dot at the beginning; it should be ../glibc-2.3.6/configure and you should be running it from within a dedicated build directory, as the book states
--prefix=/usr should be --prefix=/tools if you're in Chapter 5, which you seem to be
besides misspelling the environment variable as "LSF" in --with-binutils=$LSF/tools/bin you don't actually need it there; assuming you set up the /tools symlink properly in Chapter 4.2, it should be --with-binutils=/tools/bin
the same goes for --with-headers=$LFS/tools/include which should be --with-headers=/tools/include

If I were you, I would start over, use LFS 6.4, and make sure you follow the commands listed in the book *exactly* as they are. Copy & pasting is the best way to go to avoid typos.

thanks.

Good luck; just ask if you need any more help. Also, I don't know if you know, but there are (some) translations of the LFS book available that might make the process of building the system easier for you. I'm not sure if there's an up-to-date translation available in your first language, but it's worth taking a look here, down towards the bottom of the page under "Translations."
