I can not figure out what this command should be.

Moved to LFS

here is the next error. anyone what this means and how to correct it.

Code:

Hi,

Looking at the above I assume this is gcc pass 1 in chapter 5.

Your target seems to be wrong. It points to /usr/local, it should be /tools

Did you forget the --prefix=/tools and/or --with-local-prefix=/tools part in the configure step?

I'm talking about this command:

CC="$LFS_TGT-gcc -B/tools/lib/" \
AR=$LFS_TGT-ar RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib \
../gcc-4.4.1/configure --prefix=/tools \
--with-local-prefix=/tools --enable-clocale=gnu \
--enable-shared --enable-threads=posix \
--enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++ \
--disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-multilib \
--disable-bootstrap

The --prefix=..... and -with-local-prefix=.... make sure that the package is not installed in its default location (your host in this case), but in the Temporary environment location (what chapter 5 is all about).

Hope this helps.

This seems to be your problem

Code:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/libexec': Permission denied

Try

Code:

lfs@debian:/mnt/lfs/gcc-build/gcc-4.4.1$ sudo make install

You have to be root or have root privileges to install files.

...or I could be totally wrong, and "druuna" has the answer.

Do _NOT_ follow this advise!!! It will probably screw up your host! If you follow this advise your newly compiled gcc pass 1 will be part of your host, and _not_ lfs....

All steps in chapter 5 should be done as user lfs and no root rights are needed whatsoever at this stage!!

Be warned!!

@David1357: This is part of an LFS build and not "just" a gcc build/install on a normal system.

None of these commands have worked with out a hitch. With a lot of help from this forum I have been able find a work around but there has not been a command yet that has not worked with out an error. when I run this I get can not create executables and to look at the log file. which I will upload. I do know it is supposed to in a jail but do not know why the command is not working.

Do not worry if there is one thing I understood it that it has to be done by lfs and kept seperate of my normal debian system.

@dvdljns:

LFS 6.5 is stable and works. If you follow the on-line book (and do start with the first page...), it should all work.

I do advise to use the LFS liveCD as host and not the distro you currently use.

Most common starting problems are related to having a host that is not up to specs (iv. Host System Requirements). I do believe that the problem you are having is also related to this (missing or incomplete package install on your host).

Do not deviate from the LFS book unless you know what the implications are later on.

I'm not sure what you did/didn't do to get all this working, as it is still very early in the build I would suggest starting from scratch.

Tip: Do make a backup once you finish chapter 5 (see the "Caution" part in chapter 5.32), it makes life so much easier when something goes wrong in chapter 6.

The lfs live cd will not boot on this pc don't know why. your are right I have had to update some programs on this comp. also you are right about me not keeping everything seperated. I found a tools directory in root on my main drive. not where it should be. Is there any way to recover from this or do I need to wipe eveything and start from scratch. I can move everything back to to the second drive where they are supposed to be. but I am not sure about the symlinks.

druuna · 12-14-2009, 02:31 PM

Hi,

Like I suggested before: Start from scratch, it is safest.

After wiping all LFS related, first make 100% sure your host is up to specs before you start again.

BTW: The /tools link (seen from your host that is) should be there, it is/was created in chapter 4.2 together with $LFS/tools.

Got it.

From the number of posts here about LFS, it seems to be too hard for a complete novice. Trying to help a complete novice, without having run through all the steps, seems to be difficult at best, and dangerous at worst.

druuna · 12-15-2009, 10:01 AM

@David1357: No worries, no harm was done

LFS is indeed not easy when you have little experience (in general and LFS specific).

Ok I got my hands on a comp that will boot the live cd but the live system does not come with a program to untar compressed files. since it loads into memory can I install a archive program."i.e. gzip or something."

druuna · 12-22-2009, 04:43 AM

Hi,

The LFS live cd has everything it needs on it. No need to install any additional tools.

BTW: It does not load completely into memory, you can access the cd and everything on it (it should be automatically mounted at boot time).
