I can't compile the bash

Hi.

In order to improve my Linux skills, I'd like to install a LFS on my computer. I read the document on the french mirror of LFS, and I began to follow the instruction.

Everything went well untill I tried to compile bash sources. I had a message telling me that there were an conflict with 'gethostname'. It is written in the patch that I have to install the package glibc-static-devel-2.2.5-28mdk.x86_64.rpm

The problem is that to install this package I had to install other package because of dependancies. Actually I have to install glibc, then glibc-devel, then ....

I downloaded the glibc-2.3.1 rpm but I can't install nor upgrade it. I tried to install it with sources but I get a message: "you must configure in a separate build directory".

How may I solved this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I'm in the process of installing my first LFS as well. It sounds to me like your not starting the install on a seperate partition in the static dir. Bash is the first thing I installed and there was no dependency error's. Did you follow the book from step one? Did you make the LFS user? Did you pass all of the right options during configure?

I found at last what was my mistake. I didn't compile the glibc in a different directory: I had to create a glibc-build directory and start configure from this point.

But, I have yet another problem

I chrooted my LFS partition. Everything went well untill I try to compile GCC.

In LFS book, here are the step to follow:

Quote:

patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-3.2.patch &&
mkdir ../gcc-build &&
cd ../gcc-build &&
../gcc-3.2/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared \
--enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix \
--with-slibdir=/lib --enable-_cxa-atexit \
--enable-clocale=gnu &&
make bootstrap &&
make install &&
ln -s ../usr/bin/cpp /lib &&
ln -s ../bin/cpp /usr/lib &&
ln -s gcc /usr/bin/cc

I got an error when I try to execute this command. If I try to execute step-by-step this command, it "crash" at make bootstrap:

Quote:

Bootstrap comparison failure!
alias.o differs
attribs.o differs
bb-reorder.o differs
...
make[1]: *** [compare] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gcc-build/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

Again, I don't know how to solve this problem .

Yes I follow the book from step one. I maked the LFS user and I copy/paste the whole set of instruction.
