Hi,

I'm using LFS 6.7 book and ubuntu 10.10 as my host.Right now i'm in section 6.9 Glibc 2.12.1

I got some errors after running the make test commands

few of them are math tests errors and cpuclock2 error annexc.out errors.
some inclde stdio-comon/bugg22.out

Is it safe to ignore these errors and move ahead?
Or what should i do to override them?

Note:
As the section 6.1 Introduction suggests I've avoided the usage of compiler optimizations in the glibc build.

So i used,
instead of
-mtune=native -03 -pipe.
Is that alright?

Any valuable comments will help me ,Thanks

Hi,

I would redo the glibc chapter with the values given in the book (this: -mtune=native -03 -pipe).

6.1 talks about optimization flags in general, the flags given here are set specifically and you should not change them.

You do need to remove the source and build directory and start fresh with unpacking the glibc package.

These you can ignore:
- make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
- make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/rt/tst-cpuclock2.out] Error 1

And if this is true: The math tests sometimes fail when running on systems where the CPU is not a relatively new genuine Intel or authentic AMD processor. you can ignore these as well:
- make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/math/test-float.out] Error 1
- make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/math/test-ifloat.out] Error 1

That leaves this one (assuming you do have an older cpu type):
- make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/stdio-common/bug22.out] Error 1

If you still have problems after redoing the chapter post a follow-up message.

Hope this helps.

Hi druuna,
Alright i will redo the glibc compilation with the optimizations

I have an Intel core2duo CPU. So is it fine to get that error?

Thanks for the quick reply

Hi,

Intel's Core 2 was first introduced in 2006 and the latest Core 2 model was introduced in early 2009. I'm not really sure if that is old or not, my feeling says: No, not (too) old......

Maybe the errors are time-out related and if that is so, using the flags mentioned in the book should fix that.

Hi,

I recompiled Glibc with optimizations.But, I'm still getting the same set of errors as I've reported earlier.
Any idea?

Hi,

Have you checked if the bug22.out error is time-out related (check glibc-check-log manually, search for bug22)? If you want to make sure you could redo glibc once more and use:That should get rid of all the time-out related errors (as mentioned in the book).

Hope this helps.

after executing this make test command i get the following errors

These are math errors,cpuclock2 and annexc.out errors. So i can safely ignore them as per the book. RIGHT??

Thanks for your help druuna

Yes, you can!

And: You're welcome
