Hello,
I'm creating a LFS system following the guide at www.linuxfromscratch.org/~greg
In Chapter 6, after compiling gcc for the final time, my test results have an unexpected failure. I was wondering what to make of it:
FAIL: thread/pthread4.cc execution test
Is this important? Thanks,
Beau

Hmmm, haven't seen that one yet...

What version of gcc, glibc, binutils are you using?
Are you using the scripts or just following the hint?

Oh yeah, and which gcc build - first (static), second (stage1) or final?

My versions are as follows:
gcc-core-3.2.1.tar.bz2
gcc-g++-3.2.1.tar.bz2
binutils-2.13.2.tar.bz2
glibc-2.3.1.tar.bz2
I'm on my final build of GCC, the previous build tested without the error.
I'm not using the scripts, I'm just following the hint.

Cool, though you may want to get a copy of the scripts just to go over while you build manually

( last update http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/...-2.2.8.tar.bz2 )

You could be missing some required symlinks or other small dependency in the chroot for the test to run ....

Could just be a timeout ( how much are you running in the background )

But then again something could have b0rked...

Frankly I'd just continue on and see how the rest builds...

Also, its probably better to use binutils 2.13.2.1, gcc-3.2.[23] ( but a little late for you now :-/ )

I'll check back through my buildlogs and see if I used that combination of packages (would have been a while ago... )

It was a timeout. I ran the test again, and this time it didn't fail. Thanks for all your help!!
