make errors while compiling glibc-2.10.1 in LFS

Hi all

I am trying to compile glibc-2.10.1 as per the procedure given in LFS book version 6.5. The configure step goes well but there are errors in the make step....

Code:

make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" CVSOPTS="" -C ../glibc-2.10.1 objdir=`pwd` all
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.10.1'
mawk -f scripts/gen-sorted.awk \

Hi,

check the host system requirements again:
http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/.../hostreqs.html

You need to have gawk installed. Mawk will not do.

_Linux_Learner · 04-05-2010, 02:00 AM

Yes I got it work...
Now I am not understanding that what the following command is doing...

Code:

SPECS=`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs
$LFS_TGT-gcc -dumpspecs | sed \
  -e 's@/lib\(64\)\?/ld@/tools&@g' \
  -e "/^\*cpp:$/{n;s,$, -isystem /tools/include,}" > $SPECS

What these @ symbols in sed command mean ????

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

The default delimiter (the /) can be just about anything you want in sed, which is handy when you need to parse a directory path for example.

Instead of escaping all the forward slashes in the directory path you can change the delimiter.

The following two are the same, the second one is easier to read:

sed 's/\/some\/dir\//\/another\/directory\//' file

sed 's@/some/dir/@/another/directory/@' file

Hope this helps.

Hi all

Thanks for your help and I got the doubts cleared upto here...

Now new problem creep in....

I am getting errors while compiling binutils-2.19.1-pass 2...

Code:

make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build'
Configuring in ./intl
configure: loading cache ./config.cache
configure: error: `CC' has changed since the previous run:
configure:   former value:  `gcc'

configure: error: `target_alias' has changed since the previous run:

configure:   current value: `i686-pc-linux-gnu'
configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/intl':

make[1]: *** [configure-intl] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build'

My host system satisfy all requirements as stated in the book...
please help..... Thanks in advance

Hi,

It looks like you did not remove the previous source and/or build directory.

You need to start every build with a clean sheet. Remove the source and binutils-build directory, untar the binutils package and start again.

There is a small possibility that the source isn't clean to begin with (although I did not run into this when building LFS 6.5). If, after cleanly starting, you still get this message you could try the suggestion in the error message: configure: error: run `make distclean' and/or `rm ./config.cache' and start over. But like I stated before, I doubt this is the problem.

Hope this helps.

Hi drunna thanks for your valuable help. I got the things work.

Now can someone please tell me waht the following code is doing in the second pass of binutils-2.19.1...

Code:

CC="$LFS_TGT-gcc -B/tools/lib/" \
   AR=$LFS_TGT-ar RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib \
   ../binutils-2.19.1/configure --prefix=/tools \
   --disable-nls --with-lib-path=/tools/lib

Please help me I am a newbie....

Thanks in advance

hey _Linux_Learner I am currently on the exact same step and found the answer to the not removing previous install bit...

anyway to answer your question... the meaning is given below the command in the book...

in short [and from my limited understanding] we are now setting the cross-compiler and tools to use the new system we are building and not the host system.... [only sort of makes seance to me 2....] so we should now have 2 versions of binutils one for the host and one for the new system... [I think... some one please correct me if I am wrong!!!]

Quote:

The meaning of the new configure options:

CC="$LFS_TGT-gcc -B/tools/lib/" AR=$LFS_TGT-ar RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib
Because this is really a native build of Binutils, setting these variables ensures that the build system uses the cross-compiler and associated tools instead of the ones on the host system.
--with-lib-path=/tools/lib
This tells the configure script to specify the library search path during the compilation of Binutils, resulting in /tools/lib being passed to the linker. This prevents the linker from searching through library directories on the host.
