Hi,

config.log

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64. Invocation command line was

Maybe this leads to the real problem.

thanks,

Hi,

The above isn't very clear.

- Which chapter are you stuck. You mention chapter 5.9 (binutils 2.20.1), but also mention pass 1 (which is chapter 5.4). You also mention having done all steps before step 5.10 (chapter 5.10 is gcc pass 2).

- Can you post the actual error message that was shown (including 10-15 lines before it),

- Did you remove the previous source and build directories (assuming you are doing pass 2).

Hi,

Sorry there was ambiguity in last post. I will try to explain as clear as possible this time.

The first time when I built lfs, I followed lfs book 6.7 till ch 5:10 - gcc pass 2. The error was "fatal error ac_nonexistent.h not exist".

The second time when I built lfs, I examine more carefully and found an error even in step 1, ch5:4 - binutils pass 1.

From now on, everything refers to second time build.

The build process appears not to have any error message, however, when I check the config.log I found the following error,

..
conftest.c:9:19: error: ppl_c.h: No such file or directory
..

I guess this error may lead to problem for further build steps. Therefore, I want to resolve it even binutils seem to be built fine.

To answer your question,
- There was no actual error message beside the config errors, do you want to more lines in config.log? ( see below)
- There aren't any build directories since it's the first build. And I do remove previous build & source directory during my build.

Thanks,

Hi,

If the ./config ....., make, make check and make install steps do not return any errors: Continue.

I am not (yet?) interested in the log file. What I want to see is the error message that was given when running ./config... or make or make check.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply Druuna. I will continue then. Not sure whether to Mark this "solved" or not.

You're welcome

Mayb a bit of extra info will help:

When you build a package a lot of checks are done during the configure step. The creator of a package needs to take a lot of things into account when checking, for example, dependencies. Not all the dependency checks will succeed, some are bound to "fail" (read: not find anything), this 'cause you use system X, not Y, but checks are present for system Y.

In general it is safe to assume that if the configure step does not throw an error and stops all is fine.

You might run into other problems, but I'm kinda sure that the ppl_c.h issue is solved.
