I am in the 5th chapter ...... thanks for the reply

Hi

Ok this is where the problem lies. You must make your os compatible to build.
Needs to corrected, if you want when you have done that post back new version-check just to make sure

But how do we point it to bash done with the rest of the installation .... thanks very much

Hi

Should I start over from first ..... I guess this is giving back the same error ....... any other method .. i checked with the version it is working fine now thanks for that ......

Hi

As long as the version-check is ok now.

Yes start from the very beginning make sure you get rid of all old directories. Start a clean fresh build.

Ps mark this as solved using thread tools

Thanks .... and yes do it immediately after installing .... dont mind otherwise :D :D

and this is the error .....

Hi

When you issued this command what directory were you in?
You should of been in /home/LFS/LFS/sources/gcc-4.6.2
and the patch shpuld of been in sources dir

okay the process was

extracting gmp,mpfr and mpc to the sources directory

then extracting gcc and moving to the gcc directory and patching it up

then moving the above directories to gcc

making a gcc-build directory (in sources directory)

finally running the config file in the gcc-build directory with prefix to the tools directory ..........

Ok you should untar gcc cd into gcc dir then run the commands as per book here at the end

I guess i was right with the process of moving the directories gmp,mpfr,mpc into gcc-4.6.2 and then running the compile file

the book says
Unpack each package into the GCC source directory and rename the
resulting directories so the GCC build procedures will automatically use them

Just a note when ever rebuilding software always remove untared dir and any other build dirs

did it !!!! :( ...... any other method .....???

There should be a config log in the gcc dir can you pastebin it

Hi

Ok I think your gcc on the host is to new
you have 4.6.3
Try a rebuild using this book here
I have just built this 1 yesterday using ubuntu 12.10

Just run the version-check from that book

Okay i started from the first .... right from the start did whatever was in the book and i end up with this error

configure: error: libmpfr not found or uses a different ABI.

was compiling the gcc-4.7.1 ...

in making the make file ..... help please

I'm assuming this is your first LFS build, with that in mind I do have 2 tips for you:

1) Build the stable LFS version and not the Development version. Although the Development version might work, you can run into problems and at that point it will be hard to find out if you did something wrong or that the book was wrong.

2) Do not deviate from the LFS=/mnt/lfs convention. I see you use /home/LFS/LFS/ (in this thread) and/or /home/lfs/LFS/ (in your other thread). Both are suspicious.

There is no need to deviate in any way from the book, doing so will probably complicate things (best case). Especially on a first build you should focus on how things are done and not on how to change things to your liking.

thanks for the reply .... the version 7.1 was giving the error i started the thread with ....... so following it up i cleaned everything and started a fresh so the difference in paths ..... now i was doing what was there in the book exactly (to the best of my knowledge) but this error is creeping up (i have checked for the paths and re verified ) so i would request to suggest a way out for this .....

Hi Druuna

The reason for pointing out the svn version was because of the host gcc, I was wondering if that was causing an issue.

any help please .......... as always sticked to the basics .....

Hi

Spent the last few hours on this (using 12.04) managed to get the same problem. Have you installed patch on the host system it,s in the repos,
when you then did you get /mnt/lfs reply? If not run Chapter 4.4 did you create the 2 files for user lfs?
then run command right at the bottom?
I would start again.
Make sure you apply the patch in binutils
I think I covered it all.

I think the problem is with either the .bash_profile or LFS path

Perfectly working on Ubuntu 12.04 ........ thanks for all the help @spiky0011 @druuna

hi what was the problem

to get the error gcc-executables i installed gfortran .... then it worked f9

I take it you put that on the host system?
