[SOLVED] No '/tools/bin/env' before chrooting... now what?

kikinovak · 11-23-2014, 06:35 AM

Hi,

I just went through the building of all the temporary tools in chapter 5, and I was about to chroot into my temporary system, when chroot spewed out an error about a nonexistent '/tools/bin/env'.

Here's what my /tools/bin actually contains:

Code:

[root@slackware-live:lfs] # ls /tools/bin/

Unfortunately, 'env' is nowhere to be found.

Any suggestions?

Did you accidentally forget to install coreutils?

Yes and no. I just investigated a little bit and found the culprit. I'm scripting as much as possible, and everything went right on the first pass. On my second try I did two one thing differently. I decided not to build everything as a dedicated 'lfs' user, but as root. Unfortunately, I forgot to 'set -e' in my master script. And 'coreutils' can't be configured as root in its default configuration. You need to pass this parameter:

Code:

FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 \
.configure ...

So without the 'set -e' parameter, the master build script just went chugging along even after coreutils failed.

All's well that ends well.

Cheers,
