[SOLVED] 6.6 on virtualbox and gcc compiling problems

ukiuki · 05-17-2010, 01:40 PM

Hi

Im trying LFS 6.6 under ubuntu 9.10 installed as virtual machine.

Everything was going well till: 5.5.1. Installation of Cross GCC

i created a new dir like says in the book and put inside of it the unpacked packages gmp and mpfr moved em as the book says:

its all under $LFS/sources/gcc-build/ and gmp and mpfr under gcc-4.xxx

the ./configure did its job

but make have some errors related to the location of gmp and mpfr in the log it says no such file or directory.

im not sure what im doing wrong

thanks in advance.

We don't know either what you are doing wrong unless you post the the logfiles. The last 20 lines leading up to the error usually suffice.

Ok here some info from config.log

Code:

/$(HOST_SUBDIR)/mpfr -I$$s/mpfr   conftest.c >&5

conftest.c:18: error: expected ';' before 'me'

Code:

make[1]: *** [configure-target-libgcc] Error 1

i hope this helps

thanks in advance

Your host does not meet the system requirements. Try using the liveCD as host. I you insist on using Ubuntu install the dev packages and check the installed versions of the programs listed here:

Here is the output for version-check.sh:

that is what i have right now.

Thanks in advance

Did you type version.sh manually? There is some false output, e.g.

Code:

/bin/sh -> 'readlink -f /bin/sh'
...
/usr/bin/awk -> 'readlink -f /usr/bin/awk'
...

This should have been more like

Code:

/bin/sh -> /bin/bash
...
/usr/bin/awk -> /usr/bin/gawk
...

Apparently you confused the backticks (`) with single quotes ('). Copy paste the version.sh script from the LFS book directly into an editor, save it, chmod and run it again.

You are right(i did by hand) about the symbols, i did fix it,
also i did delete the gcc dir and remake em, havent tried compile yet
i want to make sure everything is good this time.

Here the output:

Thanks in advance !

crts · 05-18-2010, 11:38 AM

Code:

/bin/sh -> /bin/dash
...
gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) 4.4.1
...

/bin/sh should link to /bin/bash. Not sure if gcc is ok. It is an Ubuntu modified version. Also make sure that you have the devel packages installed in Ubuntu. If compilation still fails consider using another host.

ukiuki · 05-18-2010, 12:22 PM

Ill try compile, what host do you recommend?
Where i can get the LFS live cd ?

well no go

Code:

checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc-4.4.3/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/libgcc':
configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
See `config.log' for more details.
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libgcc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc-4.4.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Thanks in advance !

You can get the liveCD from here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/download.html

Make sure you download the official one and not the x86_64 version. Download the nosrc iso. You do not need the source files since on the liveCD they are for the LFS 6.3 book.

ukiuki · 05-18-2010, 01:56 PM

I just got the lfslivecd-x86-6.3-r2145.iso i hope that works.

Thanks for the help !
