error compiling glibc under Mint 12

Hello again LQ, and welcome to another episode of "Andy45 Failing Epicly at LFS!!!"

Thanks to weibullguy in this thread, I finally finished compiling GCC. But now I'm stuck on glibc! Here is my code input:

Code:

root-Satellite-U405 glibc-build # export CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=native -O2 -pipe"

I press enter
../glibc-2.14.1/configure --prefix=/tools --host=$LFS_TGT --build=$(../glibc-2.14.1/scripts/config.guess) --disable-profile --enable-add-ons --enable-kernel=2.6.25 --with-headers=/tools/include libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes && make && make check && make install

I press enter

Then I get this error:

Code:

In file included from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syslog.c:10:0:

../misc/syslog.c: In function ‘__vsyslog_chk’:

../misc/syslog.c:144:9: warning: variable ‘prioff’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

../misc/syslog.c:123:1: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to ‘syslog’: function body not available

../misc/syslog.c:155:9: sorry, unimplemented: called from here

make[2]: *** [/mnt/lfs/glibc-build/misc/syslog.o] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/glibc-2.14.1/misc'

make[1]: *** [misc/subdir_lib] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/glibc-2.14.1'

make: *** [all] Error 2

Can anybody help me solve this?

Thanks,

Hi,

Why this step:

Quote:

export CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=native -O2 -pipe"

and not, as given in the book, this:

Code:

case `uname -m` in

  i?86) echo "CFLAGS += -march=i486 -mtune=native" > configparms ;;

esac

I see a few possible problems with the way you try to do it:
- The content is not saved to the configparms file,
- The content is exported, so it will be used by other chapters as well.

Give what is given in the book a try. Do remember to remove the build and source directory and start with a clean unpacked glibc.

Hope this helps.

Well, after trying it exactly as it was in the book, I still got some different errors, which look like this:

Code:

../sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_frexp.S: Assembler messages:

../sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_frexp.S:66: Error: invalid identifier for ".ifdef"

So I tried it a different way; parts I altered are in bold (this is after extracting a fresh glibc from tarball):

Does anybody know where I went wrong and/or what I should fix?

Hi,

First of all: No changes are needed to make things work, all that is mentioned in the particular chapters should be used as-is.

I do see a new error message:

Quote:

make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This could point to 2 things:

1) The use of MAKEFLGS='-j X, where X is 2 or larger. I noticed that not all packages like this and I don't use it when building gcc, binutils and glibc.

Chapter 4.5 does mention the use of -j 2 but I would advise not to use compiler and make flags for now, unless mentioned in the chapter.

2) Your host doesn't meet the Host System Requirements. Could you post the output of the script mentioned here: version-check.sh.

Hope this helps.

Your host doesn't meet the system requirements.

Fix the bold parts and restart with chapter 5 (starting with binutils).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I've installed bash and texinfo and am starting from scratch (no pun intended). I'll post my results ASAP.

Unfortunately, after updating the two required parts of my system (bash and textinfo) AND doing a fresh install with by-the-book commands, I am still getting an error message:

However, thank you druuna and LQ for your continued help and support. I hope we will soon find a solution which can also help other people with similar problems.

Hi,

There are still some other issue's with your host:

Ubuntu is notoriously hard to use as host for LFS and with newer versions I see more and more that needs fixing to make it a good host. I'm not even sure if the EGLIBC problem can be fixed (with or without wrecking Ubuntu's functionality).

My advise: Use a different distro as host. Debian and Slackware come to mind, I used both to build LFS and minor changes were needed to make them meet the system requirements LFS needs.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Druuna, I will go ahead and try a different distro and mark this thread as solved. One question I have, however, is about makeinfo, because I can't find a package for that, so how can I fix that?

Thank you,

Andy45

You're welcome.

Makeinfo is part of the GNU texinfo package.

Hope this helps.

There might actually be an easier solution for you problem which worked for me. Due to bug #10375 in glibc, compilation fails if -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE is not in your CFLAGS. For me it worked to simply add this to configparms (in the glibc-build directory):
echo "CFLAGS += -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" >> configparms

Cheers,
Pat

Thanks Pat, I'll go ahead and try that before adding yet another VM to my poor old hard drive. I'll post my results soon.

Thanks for your suggestion Pat, but I will have to go ahead and use a Debian VM because I still get the following error:

Strange, but this might have been bad advice anyway. Because of not being able to chroot into the new environment in chapter 6, I redid all of chapter 5 (emptying /tools beforehand) and this time I did EVERYTHING as lfs user. No change was needed anywhere, everything went smoothly...
