Chapter 6-10 question

Where it says "Next, verify that the new linker is being used with the correct search paths:"

I get a small difference in the output.

They said the output should be:

Code:

SEARCH_DIR("/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib");

I got...:

Code:

SEARCH_DIR("/tools/x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/tools/x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib");

Im sure this is correct and fine, right?

Nope. Sounds like you're following the LFS instructions on a 64-bit processor. You need to use the CLFS (Cross Linux From Scratch) instructions

Wrong, Might want to refer to LFS Target Architectures.

Note what it says right here...

Quote:

The default 64-bit build that results from LFS is considered a "pure" 64-bit system. That is, it supports 64-bit executables only.

I am building a pure 64-bit linux os. Since we are moving on into 64Bit I thought I should go ahead and make a 64bit os.

EDIT:
When I got to Chapter 6.16, There was a output of what you may see on a x86_64 machine, I got the same results as it so everything is going good... for now.

Hi,

Just to make sure: BrandonJ's conclusion is correct.

Building LFS on an x86_64 system will show x86_64 entries. This is not shown in a few chapters of the LFS book. As already mentioned by BrandonJ, later on in the book this is covered.

Hope this clears things up.

Oops, sorry, I stand corrected

well done for reading things more carefully than I did

I read well until I got to Grub. I typed in something wrong and the machine restarted. When I got the LFS Live CD back up, i tried to mount the drive but it failed to do so. I opened up cfdisk and it got a error. I aint really worried about it because it only took me a few days to build it (i rushed) So I think im just going to go ahead and do a CLFS.
