Errors During 1st Build of GCC-4.5.2

Hi,
I've restarted attempt to build LFS and I'm experiencing the following errors during 1st build of GCC:

Code:

86-lfs-linux-gnu/sys-include   
checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/libgcc':
configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
See `config.log' for more details.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build$ config.log
If 'config.log' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf config.log

I've verified that LFS is set and mounted and that md5sums are correct. Also, here are Binutils errors:

Any and all help will be appreciated.

In section 4.3 did you issue the chown -v lfs $LFS/tools command?

gdawg · 06-14-2011, 09:04 PM

Hi,

Yes I issued the 'chown' commands as directed in para. 4.3. I went back and re-checked and "lfs" was retained as owner in both /tools and /sources.
Thanks for the assistance. Any other suggestions?

Hi,

I assume this is LFS 6.8 stable and you are doing chapter 5 gcc pass1. I also assume the binutils errors you posted are from binutils pass 2 (otherwise you should go back to binutils pass 1 and fix that one first, no point in continuing the build if some package fails).

1) Did you use a clean source gcc tree when compiling and building? Always remove the source directory and freshly untar the package before starting.

2) Did you unpack the GMP, MPFR and MPC packages inside the gcc source tree?

3) What does the config.log file tell you (/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/libgcc/config.log).

Hope this gets you going again.

gdawg · 06-15-2011, 09:50 AM

Hi,

I found that I had a "binutils-build" in "/mnt/lfs/". I don't know how I put it there. After each package installation I "cd ..","rm -rf" build directory, then "rm -rf" un-tarred directory. When I restarted I deleted the sdb6 partition and re-created it using Gparted but I didn't delete the packages and patches that were still intact in Downloads and /mnt/lfs/sources. I have, since, removed packages and patches and re-installed them. Hence, the config.log no longer exists. Thanks for your help. I know where to come if I need more help. I appreciate it.

You're welcome

Do you have any suggestions as to what could be causing these errors? Thanks.

That points to an already existing /tools/share/info/bfd.info, owned by another user then the lfs user used in chapter 5.

Did you do these steps before starting (in this order)?

- as root chmod -v a+wt $LFS/sources
- as lfs user chown -v lfs $LFS/tools and chown -v lfs $LFS/sources

Another thing that comes to mind: You've been redoing this part, are you sure there are no leftovers from the previous tries? Might be a good idea to scratch everything and start completely fresh.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I deleted sdb6 partition and then re-created it using GParted. This may be a dumb question but when I become "root", should I use "su -" or "su"? Also, exactly how should I use the "wget" command, using the "wget-list" that is referenced in para. 3.1 of manual version 6.8? I've tried several times to incorporate the "wget-list" in the command and have not been successful. Thanks for your assistance.

You have to use su -

su does not set the full root environment, su - does.

First download and safe the wget-list file (this one).

Then execute the given command:

Code:

wget -i /path/to/downloaded/wget-list -P $LFS/sources

Assuming that LFS is set to /mnt/lfs, all the packages will now be downloaded and put into /mnt/lfs/sources.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

gdawg · 06-16-2011, 07:33 AM

Hi,

Thank you for the information. I usually use "su -" but the other day, for some reason, I couldn't copy a file from Downloads to /mnt/lfs/sources with that command until I used "su". I have deleted and recreated partition sdb6 and changed host to PCLinuxOS. I am more familiar with it than I am with openSUSE which was a recent installation. I'll see how it goes. Thanks again.

Just in case: Do make sure it complies with the LFS Host System Requirements

gdawg · 06-16-2011, 07:30 PM

Hi,

Thanks for the reminder about the "Host System Script". It checked "compilation OK". I'm now at para.6.71, Linux Kernel and I'm getting errors when I run "make mrproper". Here is the output:

Quote:

root:/sources# cd linux-2.6.39.1
root:/sources/linux-2.6.39.1# make mrproper
/bin/sh: find: command not found
/bin/sh: line 5: xargs: command not found
make: *** [clean] Error 127

Also, when I checked "echo $LFS" and "df -h | grep $lfs" they weren't set or mounted. I reset and remounted them and re-ran "make mrproper" but there was no change. I have downloaded and installed the latest linux kernel header but that didn't change results of command "make mrproper". I first ran it on "linux-2.6.37' and got same result. I do appreciate all help.

druuna · 06-17-2011, 02:10 AM

Hi,

It looks like some commands cannot be found or are not present on your system.

- Are find and xargs installed? If not: something went very wrong in the earlier chapters.

- You still seem to have problems with LFS not being set and the partition not being mounted, could you have re-created your previous problem (parts installed on a mounted $LFS and parts that are installed when LFS wasn't mounted)? You might want to check this reply

Hope this helps.

gdawg · 06-17-2011, 09:21 AM

Hi,

I cd'd into "/bin" and the only entry for "/sh" is a link to bash:

Quote:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 10 2010 sh -> bash*

Upon opening the link there was a bunch of goggledygook that was unintelligible to me. Today, "echo $LFS" showed that LFS was set but "df -h | grep $LFS" showed nothing. I re-mounted LFS and verified that "/etc/fstab" setting was ok. I guess I'll delete the partition and start over. I've certainly had practice doing that. Thanks for your kind help and patience.
