[SOLVED] 6.22. E2fsprogs-1.41.14

liajeava · 10-29-2011, 11:39 AM

Hello,

I am at "6.22. E2fsprogs-1.41.14" section of the LFS book.

Code:

PKG_CONFIG=/tools/bin/true LDFLAGS=-lblkid \
    ../configure --prefix=/usr --with-root-prefix="" \
    --enable-elf-shlibs --disable-libblkid --disable-libuuid \
    --disable-uuidd --disable-fsck

On running above, i get error, that the compiler cannot create executables.

Please help how to resolve this.

Host: Ubuntu 11.10 x86.

Hi,

Is this the first time you get this specific error? I'm asking because you would expect this error to show up when building the first package in chapter 6 (all of chapter 6 uses what has been build in chapter 5).

Only thing that I can come up with right now: Did you restart (reboot) before you started working on e2fsprogs? If that is the case: Did you set up the environment and re-enter the chrooted correctly? (see 6.4. Entering the Chroot Environment (Note at the bottom)).

Hope this helps.

Yes, this is the first i have got this error.
No, i have not rebooted at all.

Hi,

Assuming you did create and enter the build directory: Please post the log file that was created, so we can have a more detailed look.

BTW: Did you try re-doing this package? If so: Did you completely remove the source directory before retrying (point 3E, second Important box)?

Hope this helps.

yes, i had created the build dir, as specified that it should be a sub directory.

config.log: https://gist.github.com/58aba73ca091b5e8a9c0

Yes, i tried re-doing the package. The error persists.

did you follow the directions carefully when chrooting into the environment?
from the log:

Code:

hostname = ubuntu
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 3.0.0-12-generic
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #50-Ubuntu SMP Sat Mar 17 03:45:11 UTC 2009

Ubuntu shouldnt show up has the hostname.

Hi,

From the config.log file:

Quote:

configure:3099: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3121: gcc -lblkid conftest.c >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblkid
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Is blkid present in your chrooted environment? It should have been installed during the build of util-linux (previous package).

Hope this helps.

Thank-you very much druuna, for going through the 'long' log and pin-pointing the issue.

I re-did the util-linux package, and then the e2fsprogs package did not give any error.

I must have missed some error that util-linux might have given before.

Thanks again. (saved me a lot of time, was preparing to re-do everything on a different host)

You're welcome
