Compilation of File-5.31 Error with Linux From Scratch 8.1

aeroplane380 · 09-07-2017, 08:13 AM

I am currently building Linux From Scratch from the book for version 8.1 I have arrived at section 6.12 where I am installing File-5.3.1 after chrooting into my new system. However, the make command is producing errors.

Configure gives:

I'm building this system with Ubuntu as my host system.

You are trying to create a shared (.so) library by linking in a static (.a) library.

Try reading this for tips.

I think something went wrong when you built zlib. Are you sure you moved and relinked the dynamic library as described?

sr_ls_boy · 09-14-2017, 10:23 AM

I would uninstall zlib and rebuild it again
with the switch --disable-static .

With LFS, it's generally not a good idea to put in extra configuration switches. They tend to cause trouble further down the line. The OP should check whether the zlib dynamic library and its symbolic link are in the right places; if not, he forgot to carry out those final steps. He should go back to the zlib stage (just after finishing the installation of glibc) and redo it exactly as described.
