LFS 7.5

thehunt33r · 03-21-2014, 04:26 AM

Hi !

I've been trying to build a LFS system since yesterday. Since it's a projet for school, I am using a virtual machine. I'm using VMWare Workstation 10, and my base system for installing LFS is a Fedora 20 installed in the VM.

I have followed the instructions precisely from start to 5.6.1, but now I have problems.
Here is a pastebin of my "Make headers_check" problems.

Does anyone have any idea ?

Thanks!

did you check the md5 hash whether the downloaded packages are correct or not.
If not then kindly do it since in my opinion the linux-3.13.3 did not downloaded completely.

and what is the result of

Code:

 echo $LFS

you are getting

The $LFS is ok. (/mnt/lfs)

I didn't check the hash. I'll try to do it.

Thanks !

Maybe you should use another host, Fedora is not LFS-friendly. I think Debian should be easier to make compliant.

Also post the output of the version check script http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/.../hostreqs.html

If you are going to install a host specifically to build LFS why use debian which has to 'be made' compliant why not use Slackware which is compliant 'out of the box', just seems sensible to use something that works rather than muck about with something that sort of works.

Of course having to do some extra stuff to get debian compliant is a learning experience and won't be wasted in the long term.

I do agree with "Keith Hedger" on using Slackware since it is the best and tested one to build LFS.
And their are other members over here who agree on using Slackware for building LFS

The reason I suggested Debian was because his profile says Fedora and Debian, so of those two Debian should be the better alternative. But of course Slackware is good because it is compliant out of the box. Maybe I should've said that too...

Hi guys !

I've tried to start again from scratch and here I am to 5.12 without any hiccups. Thanks to all of you for your answers.

And, i might give Slackware a shot. Never tried this distro.

Slackware is a real back-to-basics and do-it-right Linux distribution. You can't go wrong with it as a build host for LFS. As Keith said, it's compliant out of the box, and has been posted here several times that Slackware is actually the most recommended distribution to build LFS because of this.

Just to be saying....Manjaro Linux (any flavor) is also a good candidate as the host. I've build 7.4 twice with it, and now 7.5 Systemd, without major hickup (besides stupid typos of course)
