collect2: cannot find 'ld'

ld seems to be missing.

You either made a mistake when installing 5.8. Binutils-2.22 - Pass 2 and/or something went wrong while adjusting the toolchain, specifically these parts:

Quote:

mv -v /tools/bin/{ld,ld-old}
mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}
mv -v /tools/bin/{ld-new,ld}
ln -sv /tools/bin/ld /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/ld

I did this part with no error

and redo it now please check:

Quote:

root:/sources/gcc-build# mv -v /tools/bin/{ld,ld-old}
mv: cannot stat `/tools/bin/ld': No such file or directory
root:/sources/gcc-build# mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}
`/tools/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld' -> `/tools/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld-old'
root:/sources/gcc-build# mv -v /tools/bin/{ld-new,ld}
mv: cannot stat `/tools/bin/ld-new': No such file or directory
root:/sources/gcc-build# ln -sv /tools/bin/ld /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/ld
`/tools/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld' -> `/tools/bin/ld'

check this

Quote:

root:/sources/gcc-build# ls -l /tools/bin/ | grep 'ld-old'
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1323856 Feb 3 06:14 ld-old

I think I did everything correctly in 5.8. Binutils-2.22 - Pass 2 but in case what I did it was not correct should I simply repeat that step only or what should be the action that I need to follow

plz advice

Did you just copy/paste those commands a second time? I do hope that is not the case.... You might want to try and understand what these commands are supposed to do. You just created a bigger problem.....

Anyway, this doesn't look good no matter what you did: mv: cannot stat `/tools/bin/ld': No such file or directory

Because you already executed parts of 6.10 I would suggest to start from scratch and not just re-install binutils.

Oooops.. but it just moving files right..!! and the old ld is already exists with name ld-old..!!

but it seems that really should start from scratch..

thx for your advice.. will come back to you again in case same issue happen to me.. plz accept that.

re-build from scratch but this time with 32bit instead of 64bit as LFS advice and it seems everything working fine.

now I'm in 6.17.1 gcc 4.7.1 thx drunna for your help and advice.
