[SOLVED] Glibc not compiling in Chapter 6.9

Hi,
I'm building from the latest SVN (Version SVN-20100803), and I encounter this error while building:

Code:

make[3]: Entering directory `/sources/glibc-2.11.2/manual'
Makefile:235: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/sources/glibc-2.11.2/manual'
make[2]: *** [manual/subdir_clean] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/glibc-2.11.2'
make[1]: *** [clean] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/glibc-2.11.2'
make: *** [clean] Error 2

Looks like a Makefile problem, and I'm guessing the patch, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patc...le_fix-1.patch , was provided to correct this error, but strangely, it gets rejected. I checked both the patch and the file it's meant to edit, but couldn't find anything wrong. It'd be great if anyone could provide some pointers. Thanks.

Hi,

There is some confusion about this patch, have a look at this thread: Glibc Makefile_fix Patch Doesn't Appear to be Available for Download

The thread mentions a sed statement you could try (I use stable 6.6, haven't tried the SVN version yet).

Hope this helps.

Thanks druuna for that lightning quick reply. Will try the sed as suggested.

Hey druuna, the sed string works like a charm! Great, thanks so much for the link.

Code:

 sed -i 's/ot \$/ot:\n\ttouch $@\n$/' manual/Makefile
