problem in section 6.10 of lfs 6.5

Hi.

when I run the following command in section 6.10 of LFS 6.5 :

Code:

mv -v /tools/bin/{ld-new,ld}

I get output:
ld-new: No such directory.

I have run :

Code:

ls | grep ld

in /tools/bin

But there is nothing named ld-new.

All other commands run successfuly .

What should I do?
please help

Hi,

Are you sure you did not forget a step. This one to be exact:

Chap 5
5.9 Binutils pass 2

Code:

make -C ld clean

make -C ld LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib

cp -v ld/ld-new /tools/bin

Hope this helps.

Yes, you should.

This is not the first time you missed a step......
Make sure you check (double check) all the steps you do. Just about all the steps are done for a specific reason and are therefor important.

Your host OS is needed to build chapter 5.
Chapter 5 creates a base on which you build the final LFS system (chapter 6/7), when you start with chapter 6 your host OS is not needed anymore.

If, after correctly building chapter 5, you might want to consider creating a backup/tarball (see chap 5.32 last part). If something goes wrong later on, you can restore this backup/tarball and start from the beginning of chapter 6 again (which safes you the trouble of having to re-install chapter 5). But this is with the assumption that chapter 5 was build correctly!

Hope this helps.
