[SOLVED] LFS 8.0

pheyde · 07-25-2017, 10:12 AM

Hello,

Having an issue compiling Perl 5.24.1 per LFS 8.0 CH 6.40. Everything up to this point has compiled and passed the prescribed checks.

When I attempt to compile perl 5.24.1, I get the following errors at the end of the output:

Code:

After googling and searching the last week I found a couple posts that suggest that a recompiling of the bzip package and re-installation should clean up this issue, but it hasn't solved it for me. I performed all the steps in 6.18 again, ran the check scripts with no errors, and verified that all of the installed files are located and linked in the right places (according to the instructions).

If I remove the two environmental build flags (BUILD_ZLIB=false;BUILD_BZIP2=0) then it will compile without error. This again (i think) points to the bzip library as flawed. Does anyone have any input on what I can try next to solve this issue?

Usually the first line that says error is the show stopper

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libbz2.a(blocksort.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Have you tried to recompile with -fPIC?

pheyde · 07-25-2017, 10:57 AM

Lol, yes. I should have mentioned that. I added the fPIC flags to Perl to no avail. Then I went back and re-re-compiled the bzip library with the fPIC flags and then tried Perl without and then with the flags again. It hasn't helped.

I'll back out here. It's been too long since I did LFS myself for me to be much use to you. I did LFS-3.3 & 5.0 back in the day, but that was a l-o-n-g time ago. I even did a HLFS, when such existed, and then diverted to Kevux, when that existed. All part of the learning curve.

EDIT: Maybe I have thought of something. libbz2.a is a static lib, and hardly is linked to perl. I did the basic check 'ldd /usr/bin/perl |grep libbz2 and it didn't show. I would go looking for it in blocksort.o or blocksort.* (blocksort.c probably), wherever that is, and see if it's there. There's always the possibility of a typo screwing you over in unbelievable ways with LFS. Maybe in the top source dir, try 'find -name 'blocksort.*'

The build instructions for the basic system are CORRECT dont change them from the ones in the book you will cause problems later, also you should not be using '/usr/local ...' for building the system you have gone wrong back up and check what you have done.

pheyde · 07-26-2017, 07:00 AM

I went back and reviewed my work from the beginning of chapter 6 and did not find any errors in what I had accomplished to this point. Unless I'm daft, I think my system is correct to this point.

Since you pointed out that it shouldn't be using /usr/local I dug into the cpan/Compress-Raw-Bzip2/ folder and edited the Makefile to redirect references to /usr/local to just /usr. This allowed it to compile properly and pass the self checks as described in the instructions.

Thank you for the help!
