Which version of LFS are you building? And what Chapter are you in? 5 or 6?

Edgington · 12-21-2004, 04:58 PM

I'm in chapter 5 of version 6.0. The first make command gives this error.

Edit: Oh and i'm using fedora core 3

When you build gcc for the first time in chapter 5 you need to pass gcc the switch CC="gcc -B/usr/bin" like this

Code:

CC="gcc -B/usr/bin" ../gcc-3.4.1/configure \
    --prefix=/tools --libexecdir=/tools/lib \
    --with-local-prefix=/tools --disable-nls \
    --enable-shared --enable-languages=c

They used to describe why in the unstable book but they've recently taken the comments out. It used to say

Quote:

CC="gcc -B/usr/bin"

This parameter fixes a possible problem with building GCC at this stage, first noticed in LFS 5.1.1. If our host uses a new version of Binutils than we compiled, the host compiler may try use features not supported by our new linker, causing compilation errors. By passing the -B flag to gcc, we cause the compiler to temporarily use the host's linker, which solves the problem.

Just tried it but I still get the same errors

There is a selinux.h in the nscd directory in the source dir of glibc, but not in a selinux dir. I can't find a avc.h file.

Sorry, my mistake, that was a different bug. It's actually a lot more simple. Just add --without-selinux to the configure options of glibc . Hope that helps. Sorry for being a balloon.

I thought it would be something like that. Thak you it compiled fine this time.
