[Abandoned]5.7.1. Installation of Glibc compile error

I am unable to compile glibc-2.12.1 with Ubuntu 10.04 host.
(5.7.1 section of the LFS book)

Error:

Code:

In file included from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syslog.c:10:

../misc/syslog.c: In function '__vsyslog_chk':

../misc/syslog.c:123: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to 'syslog': function body not available

../misc/syslog.c:155: sorry, unimplemented: called from here

make[2]: *** [/mnt/lfs/glibc-build/misc/syslog.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [misc/subdir_lib] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/glibc-2.12.1'

make: *** [all] Error 2

Can anyone please help me fix it?

Hi,

did you make sure that your system does meet all the host system requirements? Did you install all the necessary *-dev packages in Ubuntu? Although it has been reported that it is possible to use Ubuntu or other Distros as host I would still recommend the liveCD. If you insist on using anything else than the liveCD then be prepared for some additional workarounds, e.g. some distros require to install certain *-dev packages if you want to compile something.

sed --version | head -n1

tar --version | head -n1

echo "Texinfo: `makeinfo --version | head -n1`"

echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c && gcc -o dummy dummy.c

if [ -x dummy ]; then echo "Compilation OK";

else echo "Compilation failed"; fi

rm -f dummy.c dummy

EOF

bash version-check.sh

Have successfully compiled Binutils, GCC & Linux API Headers.
Dont know why having compiling issues with Glibc.

What were the results of that check?

Should be a link to /bin/bash. You did not answer my other question:
Did you install all required *-dev packages?

i have got the basic ubuntu install and then i updated/installed the required packages as listed in LFS book using apt-get. I did not use any *-dev command.

What should i do about the "/bin/sh -> /bin/dash" thing?

Well, you will have to relink it, so that it points to /bin/bash.

However, I see the main problem is that you do not have the development packages installed. And I do not know which ones need to be installed in order to build lfs. Maybe you can open synaptic and type -dev in the search field and install whatever comes up. But there is no guarantee that it will work. I still recommend that you use the liveCD as host. If you do not like the pure CLI then I think you can type startx and you'll get a GUI.

Hi,

@linuxquestions2010: I do believe this one needs to be installed: libc6-dev

Hope this helps.

My Ubuntu OS crashed!! :(
It starts booting, but never makes it to the Login Screen.

Now, installing a different distro.
Thanks all for your replies!

Hi,

Just out of curiosity: Do you think one of the above actions is to blame for the crash? If so, do you have an idea which step?

It would be nice to know the cause of the crash, it could be of use to others that want to use Ubuntu as host for LFS and/or be a warning to use the LFS liveCD instead.

The glibc compiling issue was really stubborn and i was trying out all possible solutions. I even tried out this one http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1215-a-691292/. Plus, Installed gnome-development packages and did a lot of rounds, of configure & make.
