Hello,

I have a problem. I followed the LFS book trying to make a system, and I got some errors in GCC compile.
Here is the file that cotains "make -k ckeck" output error.

bash-3.00 % cat check.err

I have compiled the fifth chapter as in lfs (with gcc 3.4.1). Should I recompile this chapter too using the gcc 4.0.0? Or should I compile only in chapter 6 the gcc-4.0.0 in chroot environemt using gcc-3.4.1 from chapter 5 ?

Does somebody have any suggestions ?

As requested, moved to Linux From Scratch

so...if I understand correctly you deviated from the book and are getting errors? also, IIRC glibc will refuse to use gcc-4.0 ( unless you modify it or patch it, don't know if a patch is available or not).

No, I did not deviated from the book, and I get these errors, when I do the check for GCC.

I wish to deviate from the book, as I said above. Maybe I will not get the same errors.

I asked only if another person tried as I will.

did it pass the sanity check you did in the earlier chapter?

I did not do it in Chapter 5 this time, as recommended by the author.

... strange thing... it is the fourth time when I compile on different PCs, with different Linux distributions, and I got the same errors. (I have compiled on Fedora Core3, I compiled on SUSE latest stable, on SLACK 10 it did not worked, as it did not pass yet to the 2.6 ker. ver.).

In the first of fourth tries I checked too in chapter five. (that time I did not use the package manager recommended by the author (a different user for every package), and that is why I do not have any longer the error messages from that checking). I remember well that it was the same error to libstdc++-v3. And a few others. I do not guarantee that the others were the same as these ones that you can see above.

Sorry for my bad English.

the author recommended to you not to do the sanity check?

Yes, he did. Only in chapter 6 he said it is absolutely necessary.

I tried gcc-4.0.0 instead of gcc-3.4.1. It does not work.

Je l'en veut.

I will recompile all LFS using 4.0.0

the sanity check would be necessary in both, if your temporary compiler fails the sanity check, it cannot build the main system. personally, I wouldn't go for gcc-4.x yet, give it some time. most likely you accidentally made a mistake during the toolchain build or your host system is giving you the problems.

thanks, I will try just now.

I have recompiled everythig, and this time I made
" make check " after glibc compilation, the first step, in the first chapter.

The first error message is :
