binutils pass 2 build directory
 

Create a separate build directory again:
from which directory i was supposed to make it and i have made binutils-build in pass 1 also so how can it be made at the same path. please help

You are supposed to delete everything "Pass 1" = everything {previous build folders and source folders} before you continue.

And all "Pass 2" *build*/ and <source>/ folders, before you do "Chapter 6. Installing Basic System Software".


Which also means : When you start from scratch, nothing can be reused.

del

this means that i have to delete the binutils-build directory and the source binutils-2.25 directory and again extract the tar of binutils to perform pass 2 of binutils and also for libstdc++ will i have to do the same with gcc directories ?


is it becoz we compiled everything is stored in /tools directory and now we dont need build directories.

During Chapter 5 after you build part of the bootstrap system you delete the extracted sources. It's only in Chapter 6 you should keep the extracted sources handy pre-configured by running "make clean" on the sources after installing them.

Yes.

Thank you
