7.2 chapter 6.9. Glibc-2.16.0 - test failed
 

produced a few errors.

Are these errors critical or can they be ignored? I didn't find anything useful neither in the faq nor in the mailing lists. Google showed nothing. Also I am waiting for confirmation of my subscription, so I can't post this question in linuxsfromcratch.org mailinlists at the moment.

Below listed are those that weren't regarded as unproblematic in the book 7.2, chapter 6.9. Glibc-2.16.0
Afaik I did not deviate from the instruction.

I try to show
a) error message from glibc-check-log
b) content of respective output file
c) that, what I suppose is the failing instruction

1.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.) Same issue as 2.)?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.)



5.) - 8.) with no further information. Can be delivered if needed

Please note, that I cannot use "less" in the chroot environment (bash: less: command not found).
Don't know if that is to be expected at that stage.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Edit: Changed title due to error in version

Hello,

I don't really know the answer to the first part of that question, but I wouldn't ignore them. I don't recall ever seeing those in my glibc tests or in the developers' posted glibc test logs for v7.2. So maybe asking about them at the lfs-support mailing list is a good idea.

Other thoughts that I had about this... Double-check the mounting of the virtual filesystems in the chroot environment (one of the tests could not open /proc/cpuinfo). Also, if you used a -j option with make when building glibc, then try it again without that. I know the book says it's okay to do a "parallel make", but it also says to revert back if problems occur. And sort of conversely, if the host is old and slow, try the idea in the book related to test timeouts.

P.S.: Less has not been installed in your chrooted system yet. It comes along later in section 6.48.

The timeoutfactor did the trick. In fact, every single error disappeared. Even those considered non-critical. I am a bit skeptical, but continue nevertheless. So far no further problems.

Sorry for not trying out the timeoutfactor correction myself, but I am a bit overcautious, since it is my first lfs build.

thank you very much
