[SOLVED] LFS 7.4 Chapter 5.7.1 Installation of Glibc "An upstream change needs to be reverted"

retux · 09-23-2013, 02:13 AM

Hi

I am trying to do Linux From Scratch first time using the LFS 7.4 book.

I am doing it on a Debian 7.1.0 host in a VMware virtual machine.

I followed the instructions here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...for-lfs-34994/ to make the Debian host suitable for LFS.

I followed the book and everything seemed to be working fine until I got to Chapter 5.7.1 at "An upstream change needs to be reverted:"

I entered the command

Code:

sed -i -e 's/static __m128i/inline &/' sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strstr.c

but I got an error

Code:

sed: can't read sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strstr.c: No such file or directory

The output of version-check.sh is

Code:

./version-check.sh 
bash, version 4.2.37(1)-release
/bin/sh -> /bin/bash
Binutils: (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.22
bison (GNU Bison) 2.5

GNU sed version 4.2.1

Texinfo: makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.13

g++ compilation OK

Please help me solve this.

Just a reminder: The blog entry isn't up-to-date when using LFS 7.4 and Debian Wheezy. It is Debian Squeeze and LFS 7.1/7.2 specific.

If I look at the version check output I do see that you did install g++, which wasn't needed before and isn't mentioned in the blog entry.

From which location did you execute the sed command?

You need to unpack glibc, enter the glibc directory and execute the commands in the chapter (as mentioned here: 5.3. General Compilation Instructions (second important box))

I didn't follow the instructions exactly, I just installed the required packages to make the host LSF compliant and did dpkg-reconfigure to make bash the shell linked to by /bin/sh.

The LFS 7.4 book lists g++ as a host system requirement

Quote:

GCC-4.1.2 including the C++ compiler, g++ (Versions greater than 4.8.1 are not recommended as they have not
been tested)

I was accidentally executing the sed command from the /sources/linux-3.10.10 directory instead of the /sources/glibc-build directory.

It is working now.

Thank you for your help.
