I'm trying to follow LFS and I'm on chapter 5, GCC-4.5.1 Pass 2. When I issue the "make" command, I get the following error:

I view the makefile with vi and go to line 274, it says "@SET_MAKE@".

I'm wondering what I need to do to fix this problem. Should I delete Makefile and run the configure command again, should I add in a separator, if so, what one?

Thanks for all the help!

PS Sorry in advance if this is in the wrong forum.

Hi,

there is a dedicated LFS forum. I asked a moderator to move your thread accordingly.

As for your problem, you will have to post some more information. Usually the last 20 lines of output are needed to determine the error.

Which host are you using? Did you make sure that all requirements are met? Did you delete the source and build folder of the gcc pass1? You need to start with a fresh untarred source and build folder for the second pass. You cannot reuse the one from the first run.

LFS LiveCD
What do you mean all requirement?
Yes

Here is a link to the webpage where you can see exactly what I should do.

I didn't do the step for x86_64 machines because that does not apply to me. Should I try using that step?

Thanks!

If you are using the liveCD then the requirements should be no issue.
Those are the commands that should be issued. However, a typo is easily made. It would be best if you could copy+paste the commands that you actually issued. I.e. starting from the 'patch -Np1 ...' command up to 'make'.

Finally, you still need to supply more of the output which led up to this error. It is very hard to guess what could have gone wrong. Maybe a typo in the previously executed 'sed' commands, maybe something else.
If 'uname -m' does not return x86_64 then you can skip this step.

Alright. I'm assuming it is a typo, because everything else worked fine. Could I maybe be because I didn't delete the mpfr, gmp, and mpc folders (what one do I use with the rm command, mpfr or mpfr-3.0.0 or both?)?

Finally, is there a way I could copy and paste to the LFS computer? I'm reading the instructions off a different computer.

Is there any way I could do it using PuTTY?

Thanks

You delete everything after you build it, i.e. you do
rm -rf $LFS/source/gcc-4.5.1/
rm -rf $LFS/source/gcc-build/

Since mpfr-3.0.0 etc. were untarred in $LFS/source/gcc-4.5.1/ as mpfr it will get deleted, too.
You delete every source (and build-folder) after build is finished.

As for the copy+paste issue, I usually copy a html-version of the book I am building on the $LFS partition and when using the liveCD I open it in tty2 with lynx. This allows me to copy+paste critical commands, since mouse is supported. Other possibilities would be to connect via lynx to the LFS site and navigate to the version you want. If you issue startx on the liveCD you will get a desktop environment but I have never done that.

Hope this helps.

I had this exact same issue. Once I copied and pasted (removed the gcc folders and started section 5.10 from scratch) then everything went well.

Thanks to crts for pointing out that there exists a startx command on the disk!
