cannot run C compiled programs

efus · 03-27-2007, 03:20 PM

I am trying to build lfs 6.2 and until chapter 6.11 I had no big problems making it work.
But I can not compile binutils.

this is the error I get trying to make:

Code:

root:/sources/binutils-build# make tooldir=/usr
mkdir -p -- ./libiberty
Configuring in libiberty
configure: creating cache ./config.cache
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no

checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [configure-libiberty] Error 1

I can't figure out how to fix this?
any ideas?

Follow the directions

Find out exactly why.

This is from the config.log

Code:

configure:2267: error: syntax error before 'me'
configure: failed program was:
#line 2262 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include "gmp.h"
int main() {

I know the gmp.h is just a bsd thing.
So it must be the "choke" and "me" whitch must be the problem?

[EDIT]

line 2266-2268 in the configure file looks like this:

Code:

#if __GNU_MP_VERSION < 3
choke me
#endif

what does this mean?

osor · 03-27-2007, 06:13 PM

GMP is not a bsd thing, it’s GNU’s multiple-precision arithmetic library. It should not be needed at this point. Are you sure you configured correctly?

weibullguy · 03-27-2007, 06:20 PM

As osor stated. GMP would only be needed in LFS if you want to build gcc to include the FORTRAN compiler. Did you run the configure script at all? Your original post shows that you were trying to compile binutils, but your errors are all configure script errors. I haven't built binutils in awhile and don't remember whether make calls the configure script again.

efus · 03-27-2007, 07:04 PM

yes I am trying to compile binutils.
I did run the config script: configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/binutils-2.16.1 --enable-shared

osor · 03-27-2007, 07:12 PM

Are you in the chroot correctly and did you adjust the toolchain correctly (try the sanity check). Why is the prefix /usr/local/stow/binutils-2.16.1? Can you post your full configure output.

@Arow: I think binutils’ Makefile will call configure recursively in certain directories (in this case, the problem seems to be with libiberty).

efus · 03-27-2007, 07:26 PM

I got no errors in the sanity check.
I chroot'ed like it said in the book.

I use stow as package manager, therefor the prefix.

This is the configure output:

It says "no" to a lot of things?

efus · 03-28-2007, 04:35 AM

This is not only a problem when I try to make binutils.
I get the same error at every make.

efus · 03-28-2007, 01:51 PM

The problem was this:

checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... yes

gcc should not be a cross-compiler.
I solved this by rebuilding glibc. Something must have been wrong with the other build.

zazuke58 · 02-23-2012, 12:53 AM

Reconstruiste glibc from the first phase or the chapter 6.9?

TKH · 03-01-2012, 01:52 PM

It would be a good thing if you start looking at the problem with as least work as possible.

Several easy steps:
1. Have you chrooted correctly? Try running mount and see what is up.
2. Have you clear out all the compiler variables (LDFLAGS, CC, CFLAGS, etc...) check them with env.
3. Is the toolchain working properly? Look at the section 5.8 (correct me if I'm wrong) which covers the toolchain stuff.

I hope these can help.
