Lot of errors with E2fsprogs-1.41.14 make check
Hello I am building Linux From Scratch, until now all is ok but when I have compiled the E2fsprogs in the chapter 6.21 of the book I had a lot of errors, 104 test failed. All the rest and the other tests was ok, I don't know the reason of this issue. here is the pastebin, anyone have a suggestion to help me? The machine is a laptop with Intel Centrino 1.6 MHz, 768Mb of RAM, 12Gb of space on the LFS partition and 2Gb of swap
Thanks |
The book usually has a comment on the tests.
I would rm -rf on the source, and redo from scratch :). |
Yes, was the first action I made, rm -R the sources directory and rebuilt the package but the result is the same: my problem is that I don't know where I can look to find the error... And the comment of the book isn't helpful in this case :(

Thank you a lot, I will try... for now, I have continued the installation of e2fsprogs ignoring the errors, if after the complete installation of LFS my system will fail I will redo all the procedure. But I want to know WHY I have that errors and in general I want to understand where could be an error when appears even in other package, so your contribution will be surely helpful: thank you again!

You're welcome :)
BTW: You do need to fix these errors, a 104 is way to many to "ignore". I would look at a handful of .fail files before pushing this problem to a later date: The underlying problem might also influence what is still to come. |
I have recompiled the package and I have noticed that there is an error in the compilation process... It end at this point:
http://pastebin.com/J2pGsSwq Seems that there are a problem with the mke2fs program... what could be the cause? |
Hi,
From what you have posted I can't point you to something. Did you look at the config.log file (/sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.14)? It probably holds more information about what went wrong. Hope this helps. |
mmm I don't have that file

Hi,
My mistake, I forgot that e2fsprogs is build in a separate directory (first 2 commands in 6.21.1). The log file should be in /sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.14/build Sorry about that..... |
I have decided to continue with the installation... if I will have a problem when boot into the new system I will redo the entire process from begin. I think I have made some kind of error in the chapter 5 phase; I (or rather: an OP on #LFS IRC channel that have helped me) have also noticed that there was a link that was different to the one in the prerequisite: is the bash link, is not /bin/sh but bin/dash - my host system is Debian stable - can this cause a problem? Maybe is all here the issue!
anyway, when I come home I try to recompile the e2fsprogs package (I have removed the source) and see the log file in /sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.14/build to see if there someting that I can do to repair the situation now or at least try to find where is the problem/mistake |

If you build an LFS system and your host does not meet the mentioned requirements you are in for "an interesting" build. Too be honest I'm a bit surprised that it took this long before errors start showing, I would have expected multiple errors during the building of the temporary environment (chapter 5). Being this far into the build I would advise to continue and to see what happens, but be aware that the end result might not work. Even if this build fails you'll have a better grasp on how things are done the second time around. Hope this helps. |

Hi,
I have same problem with "make check" in building "e2fsprogs", then found this thread with google seach. I get a hints form here and all is good now. All "tests/*.log" files says "due to not found mtab files..." then I check it but there is not. This file is created in LFS book 6.6 Creating Essential Files and Symlinks, and I forget it. Create "/etc/mtab" and do "make check", I had a result "all test passed" |
