LFS - about 30 Autoconf files and how to do the patches

druuna · 03-15-2012, 03:28 AM

Hi again,

Each chapter assumes you unpacked the package and are standing in the newly created directory. As explained here: 5.3 - Last Important box.

Sjors-rw · 03-15-2012, 03:48 AM

So, in chapter 5 it presumes you are in $LFS/mnt/lfs/sources?

If I understand you correctly.

druuna · 03-15-2012, 04:40 AM

Hi,

No, you need to be in $LFS/sources (which expands to /mnt/lfs/sources) to unpack the appropriate package.

Alright, I'm in mnt/lfs/sources
but, when I use this code:

../binutils-2.22/configure \
--target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools \
--disable-nls --disable-werror

It says, there's no directory.

and when I cd to
../binutils-2.22/configure it says the same.

Ok, found an tutorial for tarballs, so i've used this code: tar -vfx binutils ....
but now in my sources folder are all the files of binutils, like 50 files.

How can I undo/delete them all and what's the right way to do it.

Is there someone who can give support via MSN or something? It would be very nice.

Now I've started again. In chapter 5 where do I have to be? with LFS user there's permission denied, en which directory do I have to stand? $LFS/sources?

spiky0011 · 03-18-2012, 08:30 AM

Hi

You should be in /mnt/lfs/sources
Where you have the tarball then untar the tarball into sources dir then cd into the directory created from the untar.

Which package are you on

About the permission denied: What's denied? cd-ing into a directory? Untarring a file? Details please.
In general: Did you re-check all the commands? Especially those in 4.3, the chown commands for example. Are the packages in $LFS/sources (at least) readable for user lfs?

About the directory you need to be standing in: Really?

When you finished chapter 4 you are user lfs and standing in your home directory (/home/lfs).

In chapter 5.3 this pops up:

Important

To re-emphasize the build process:

Place all the sources and patches in a directory that will be accessible from the chroot environment such as /mnt/lfs/sources/. Do not put sources in /mnt/lfs/tools/.

Change to the sources directory.

For each package:
- Using the tar program, extract the package to be built. In Chapter 5, ensure you are the lfs user when extracting the package.
- Change to the directory created when the package was extracted.
- Follow the book's instructions for building the package.
- Change back to the sources directory.
- Delete the extracted source directory and any <package>-build directories that were created in the build process unless instructed otherwise.

This would put you in $LFS/sources

In 5.4 you have to build Binutils. Untar, from where you are standing ($LFS/sources), the binutils package and cd into it (steps one and two from the For each package: part.

Hope this helps.

@spiky0011: That should be /mnt/lfs/sources!

Sjors-rw · 03-18-2012, 10:02 AM

alright, 5.4 succeeded. Now I'm in chapter 5.5 but it says:

tar -jxf ../mpfr-3.1.0.tar.bz2
mv -v mpfr-3.1.0 mpfr
tar -Jxf ../gmp-5.0.4.tar.xz
mv -v gmp-5.0.4 gmp
tar -zxf ../mpc-0.9.tar.gz
mv -v mpc-0.9 mpc

and:
tar -jxf ../mpfr-3.1.0.tar.bz2
refers to one directory "up" but I'm in /sources and the file itself is in sources too. Do I have to just remove the ".." or do I have to be in an other directory?

Hi,

I told you this three times already (Posts #16, #22 and #25).

Again:

Started again, me getting better with linux, I'm now stuck at 5.7 for glibc compilation. I get the warning: warning you should not compile gnu libc without versioning

And underneath that error: You need a recent version of Binutils, 2.8 or higher, but for LFS we use 2.22. So how to solve this problem?

Thanks again for helping,

spiky0011 · 03-20-2012, 02:01 PM

Hi

Can you post the error you are getting plz

Sjors-rw · 03-20-2012, 02:03 PM

I've managed to continue, but now I don't know what to do. First off all from the beginning after install each pakage there are numerous errors, the whole time with [1] Error , that structure. I don't did anything with it and keep getting further, now a few pakages wont install, getting errors with config files etc.. What am I doing wrong? any ideas?
