Ok I'll try but It'll completely break my current learning. The other way should be that I find a precompiled gcc 4.6.2 for x64 arch, skipping the gcc compilation phase on the book. Could someone give me a link for the pre-compiled package? Thank you
Another thing to consider is to start over with the 7.1 book. Know why? Because you've made various changes to the book's steps along the way such as mostly recently discovered, the symlink in your host to $LFS/tools. Perhaps there are others long forgotten. You could start over with the resolve to trust the book and follow every step as written. FWIW, I can whole-heartedly vouch for the 7.1 book. In fact, IMO, it's actually more risky to deviate from the book, not less so.

The only things I did not follow in the book was the creation of the symlink (and of course my $LFS var which was LFS instead of lfs) and the versions check. Now I created the symlink, renamed my $LFS var and saw that the only version of my package which not correspond to those on the book is my gcc version (4.6.3 instead of 4.6.2) so I don't think it's coming from me as I followed EXACTLY the book's steps now... Anyway, I tried to compile gcc 4.7.1 and now I have:
Code:
supports shared libraries... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1

make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/e-kami/workspace/OS_work/test_files/gcc-test-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
compiling gcc is a real pain... I never had such problems with compilation with any other programs in the past...
Hi are you building a 64 bit if so did you create the symlink at the end of binutils
I restarted to build from 0, including the creation of the symlink for binutils and now the compilation worked!! Thanks a lot!
Does it mean that the gcc compilation used the binutils I compiled instead of the one installed on my host?
Is it because of the --prefix argument?
Thanks a lot again!
I dont know what was wrong but at least you got it working. What lfs are you following?
LFS 7.1. Now glibc seems to not compile, printing a message like "waiting for unfinished jobs" as an error.
I'll try to recompile it without the -j4 flag.
Am I cursed or what?...
Now when I try to compile glibc I get:
Code:
