Beginner in LFS stuck at a step
 
Hi

I am following LFS book ver 6.5
I am doing everything that is said in the book step by step
I have done it upto page 44 and now the next step is building Binutils (the first package)
It says to do
Quote:
mkdir -v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
Where exactly is this directory supposed to be built?
I typed in the exact same mkdir command and it says permission denied
I did su - lfs from root (according to a previous instruction in the book) and I am currently the user lfs

Have you read chapter 5.3, the second Important note? Also have a look at the first note.

In short:
Code:
cd $LFS/sources
tar xf binutils-2.19.1.tar.bz2
cd binutils-2.19.1
<commands in chapter 5.4>
cd $LFS/sources
rm -rf binutils-2.19.1 binutils-build

I have seen them
My problem is that the mkdir command in 5.4 is not working
I am currently the user lfs
I did su - lfs from root
and right now I am lfs
but the mkdir is not working

Any error messages?

Assuming you are getting permission related error(s): Did you do these steps as root (chapter 3.1 last command):
Code:
chmod -v a+wt $LFS/sources
and (chapter 4.3, near the end):
Code:
chown -v lfs $LFS/tools
chown -v lfs $LFS/sources

My problem was that I misunderstood this note
This particular problem is solved for now
thank you very much for your help

Would it be possible to mark this thread as solved? That way we can use this as a reference. That would be really appreciated. Thx ...
