[SOLVED] Make error in compiling binutils

jddantes · 09-12-2013, 07:13 AM

When this is run from /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build

../binutils-2.23.2/configure \
--prefix=/tools \
--with-sysroot=$LFS \
--with-lib-path=/tools/lib \
--target=$LFS_TGT \
--disable-nls \
--disable-werror

and then after that, make

the error showed up like this:

rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
../../../binutils-2.23.2/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo:325: unknown command `colophon'
../../../binutils-2.23.2/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo:336: unknown command `cygnus'

I've tried using make clean as suggested in another thread and this is what I got:

Unsure as to whether it was a success or not, I ran make again, leading once more to the output posted above.

I would remove binutils, & binutils-build, check the archive (md5sum or sha1sum) and start again.

looks like there is a patch: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-binu.../msg14429.html

By any chance did you forget to run this?

Code:

sed -i -e 's/@colophon/@@colophon/' \
       -e 's/doc@cygnus.com/doc@@cygnus.com/' bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo

Yes, I wasn't able to run it properly, and I dismissed it as something optional/irrelevant.

I ran it again and bfd.texinfo wasn't found. The closest thing I have is bfdio.texi.

Would using the LiveCD make the process easier for me?

spiky0011 · 09-19-2013, 12:00 PM

No because your system is compliant so that wont make a difference.

ReaperX7 · 09-19-2013, 08:27 PM

What base distribution system are you using to build LFS anyway?

If you're using any of the .rpm, .deb, and such mainstream or minimalist based distributions, you may want to check and see if you have the developer packages installed.

jddantes · 09-20-2013, 10:26 AM

ArchLinux. This does not represent my experience with Linux, but rather my desire to learn.

ReaperX7 · 09-20-2013, 06:34 PM

ArchLinux should be able to produce LFS rather easily. Then again, I take that back because of the fact ArchLinux tends to be less than stable and uses very bleeding edge packages that could have not only conflicts but incompatibilities as well.

Do you have any other distributions you could use as a base-system to install with to use as a comparison?

jddantes · 09-20-2013, 08:04 PM

I don't have other Linux distributions installed, although I've downloaded other isos like Ubuntu/Lubuntu, so I guess I'll try one. Thankfully, LinuxLive USB has Persistence.

ReaperX7 · 09-20-2013, 10:42 PM

I would suggest avoiding Ubuntu due to the fact Ubuntu uses packages that get confusing after a while. Staging, binary, developer, documentation packages... no thanks.

Personally, I recommend Salix. It's directly based on Slackware and runs as a Live DVD also. This way you can install LFS completely local without sacrificing space for another distribution.
