binutils cannot open: Permission denied error.

Though I am a newbie, I am in the task of building my own Linux using the book LFS.
I met with the following error in chapter 5.4.1 . When I did the code

Code:

mkdir -v ../binutils-build

The error was:

Code:

lfs@debian:/mnt/lfs/sources$ tar -jxf binutils-2.22.tar.bz2

tar (child): binutils-2.22.tar.bz2: Cannot open: Permission denied

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

When I checked ls -l, the permissions was set to root. But I have already done the codes

Code:

chown -v lfs $LFS/tools

chown -v lfs $LFS/sources

Why is it that the permissions are set to root ?

Why is it that I cannot continue ?

Hi

What version of LFS are you doing?
You should also be in the binutiles-build dir

Code:

mkdir -v ../binutils-build

cd ../binutils-build

When you untar you then cd into the created dir before continuing with the chapter

Sorry misread your post, Did you do all of chapter4.3

the chown of LFS/tools and LFS/sources

yes, I rectified that error.
I am using version 7.1
Now I got another problem...
My problem is, when in chapter 5.4.1, when running

Code:

../binutils-2.22/configure \--target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools \--disable-nls --disable-werror

I get the following output

Code:

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking target system type... x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking whether ln works... yes

checking whether ln -s works... yes

checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed

checking for gawk... no

checking for mawk... mawk

checking for gcc... no

checking for cc... no

checking for cl.exe... no

configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build':

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

See `config.log' for more details.

If i ignore the warnings and continue with 'make', I get the following error

Code:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Hi

Did you make sure your host system was compatible

The prerequisites aren't met. How to install all those files at once ? Will it be possible to do it just by running sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ?

Hi

I take it your using Ubuntu as host, I had trouble with make info failing on Ubuntu, Debain was easier to use.

FYI

Just installed texinfo from software manager it cleared version-check
(maybe something went wrong last time)

I abandoned that project, and started with a fresh LFS.

Now I am at Binutils-2.22 - Pass 1 , that is at chapter 5.4.1
After creating the directory binutils-build, ans issueing the command

Code:

../binutils-2.22/configure \

--target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools \

--disable-nls --disable-werror

I get the following error

Code:

lfs@debian:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$ ../binutils-2.22/configure \

> --target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tool \

> --disable-nls --disable-werror

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking target system type... x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking whether ln works... yes

checking whether ln -s works... yes

checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed

checking for gawk... gawk

checking for gcc... gcc

checking for C compiler default output file name... 

configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build':

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

See `config.log' for more details.

1) Why is this? I didn't met with such an error in my previous attempt.

2) Also, when running commands that extend to multiple lines with \ at the end, what am I supposed to do ? That is, whether, I should press enter key and continue with the next line, ar put no space between (\) and the enxt character ?

Hi

I dont know whats wrong with your build, Maybe pastebin the config file might help.
Also can you post the output of the version-check.
Yes with the \ that is correct a space then \ then enter which will let you continue on next line
--target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools \
A space between tools and \

When I searched for "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables", I saw it discussed fairly often. A common issue that I saw was some compiler component missing from the host system. Try confirming that you've installed the things you need to compile source in Debian. I haven't used Debian in a while, so I don't remember what those things are. In Fedora, for example (since I know it better), it's things like the Development Tools group, Development Libraries group, kernel-devel, kernel-headers. Those aren't installed by default in Fedora. The idea will probably be similar in Debian but the things will called something else. It might be things like build-essential, dpkg-dev, fakeroot, etc. Maybe a Debian expert will show up with the precise details. Anyway, this is what I would at least investigate. I predict that until you do that, you couldn't compile anything in your Debian system whether it be for LFS or the Debian system itself.

Try to use xf or xvf for untaring the package .. hope it help

Code:

lfs@debian:/mnt/lfs/sources$ tar xf binutils-2.22.tar.bz2

If you download the binaries as root, they will have root permissions. You should be the lfs user when downloading into your sources directory.
