[SOLVED] LFS 7.6 Chp 5.51, GCC: configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files...

Hello, on Linux Mint 17.1 cinnamon, I am unable to configure GCC 4.9.1.

Here is the output of version-check.sh:

Code:

bash, version 4.3.11(1)-release
/bin/sh -> /bin/dash
Binutils: (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.24
bison (GNU Bison) 3.0.2

Linux version 3.13.0-37-generic (buildd@kapok) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) ) #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38 UTC 2014

Perl version='5.18.2';
sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2
tar (GNU tar) 1.27.1
xz (XZ Utils) 5.1.0alpha
g++ compilation OK

Installation of Binutils went without error and configuration of GCC was followed as in the book.
The only previous error so far the error message: dircolors: "no SHELL environment variable, and no shell type option given" after running source ~/.bash_profile. It returnd 0 after running echo $?.

The output of make was:

Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks.

Welcome to LQ.

Wrong is : » /bin/sh -> /bin/dash «

Please delete the symlink /bin/sh, and make a new one pointing to bash.

thinkrorbot · 02-28-2015, 02:06 PM

Yesterday, I disconnected the symlink and forgot to make a new one and today, the system has failed to boot and I had to force shutdown yesterday due to the system being unable to shutdown. It this the cause or is there something else?

Keith Hedger · 02-28-2015, 05:28 PM

If /bin/sh doesn't point to a valid shell you are going to have allsorts of weird problems inckuding not being able to boot, bkoot to a 'live' cd and fix asap

thinkrorbot · 02-28-2015, 06:09 PM

Thanks for the reply, how do I create a symbolic link to the main system from a live USB?

thinkrorbot · 03-01-2015, 02:02 AM

I am able to boot back into the main system now.

I remade a symlink for bash and now the config.log outputs:

When the wrong shell has been used, you will have to start from scratch.
... With `binutils´ pass 1.

→ 5.4. Binutils-2.24 - Pass 1

Thanks for the reply, I don't know what did it; deleting the binutils-build directory and the source directory,reinstalling binutils (failed with same message when trying to build gcc using previous gcc build folder but I was tinkering with cpufreq-utils so that might have affected it) or making a new build directory but it worked with out errors.

On the sanity check in Chapter 5.7, $LFS_TGT-gcc -v dummy.c outputs:
x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found
Is there a fix or should I start again?
x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc is in /mnt/lfs/tools/bin.
Also will chroot make the installation and compilation less error prone?

bstaletic · 03-06-2015, 05:44 AM

Your tool chain is broken. Whether you fix it or start from the begining it doesn't matter, as it wil take almost the same time. Without much thinking I'd start anew.

Chroot won't magically make the process less error prone. I personally find it convinient.
