gmp is not finding my GCC I compiled in section 5. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi,

Are you building LFS or CLFS and which version?
Which book are you using?
Which chapter is giving you troubles?

You mention CLFS and I do see a BUILD64 variable, but there is no CLFS 6.3 (version 1.1 is the stable CLFS atm).

I also don't find any mention of gmp in either of the 3 CLFS docs (32 Bit Builds / Intel/AMD x86 or 64 Bit Builds / x86_64 or Multilib Builds / x86_64) and I'm assuming you don't have a powerpc.

I do find a mention of gmp in LFS 6.3, but that's chapter 6 not in 'section 5', but that's not x86_64 related.....

Could you give us some more info please?

6.3 was chapter/section from
Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch - Version SVN-20090602-x86_64-Multilib
Chapter 6. Constructing a Temporary System
chapter 6.3. GMP-4.2.4

Chapter 5 was mentioned because I believe that it using the cross-tools and tools built in chapter 5 now instead of my debian host system.
Since I.m not that far into this one, I think I'll start over.

Hi again,

Found it! (Maybe post a link to the page next time )

I'm not entirely sure, but this looks wrong to me:

checking compiler -gcc... no

Shouldn't that be gcc instead of -gcc?

If nothing went wrong in the previous chapters then I think you should check if all the variables are set correctly (CLFS_HOST, CC, etc).

I didn't use the online book and couldn't find it. Any how I started over and this time everything worked the way it was suppose too. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

The on-line book is a bit hard to find, take a look here if you are interested:

SVN-20090606-x86_64 / Multilib

BTW: You're welcome
