LFS 11.3 Installing Basic System Software 8.5.Glibc-2.37 (Header File Missing)

raptorfishingbeefweb · 09-12-2023, 02:35 AM

Hey Guys,

In the course of my LFS project, which I continue sporadically here and there, I have recently encountered another problem that I think I have already partially solved.

As the title already indicated, I am already installing Glibc under Chapter 8. Installing Basic System Software. During the Make command, I then noticed two missing header files (at least these apparently resulted in errors), for which I had already done a bit of research myself, but could only really find a solution for one header file.

In the course of my own research, I eventually came across a thread in a forum that seemed to contain a fix for one of the header files, which apparently also worked for me, as the header file in question was eliminated by the following command & No longer occurred with the subsequent Make command as an error.

Code:

root:/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.37# cp --archive /usr/include/asm-generic /usr/include/asm

Unfortunately, due to the character limit, I couldn't include the full make command, but you can clearly see that asm/prctl.h is the second header file for which I haven't been able to find a solution yet. As already mentioned before, I was able to fix the header file asm/errno.h with the first command, so that the file no longer appeared as an error with the Make command

All this should not be necessary. The headers against which glibc are built come from the kernel and there is a section on installing them in chapter 5.4, just before the glibc build. There is a list of the headers at the end of this section.
