LFS installation breaks in Binutils final compilation (Section 6.13)

LFS_Tester · 07-26-2017, 03:25 PM

Up to section 6.13 everything has been smooth with the LFS installation. In 6.13, when I run make for binutils, I get the following error:

Code:

mv -f .deps/errors.Tpo .deps/errors.Po
/bin/sh ../../gold/../ylwrap ../../gold/yyscript.y y.tab.c yyscript.c y.tab.h yyscript.h y.output yyscript.output -- /sources/binutils-2.27/missing bison -y -d 
/sources/binutils-2.27/missing: line 81: bison: command not found
WARNING: 'bison' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.y' file.
         You may want to install the GNU Bison package:

make: *** [Makefile:851: all] Error 2

Up to this point, I have not deviated from the LFS book. The only change I made was in section 6.2 where I had to change the mount command from

Code:

mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts -o gid=5,mode=620

to

Code:

mount -v --bind /dev/pts $LFS/dev/pts -o gid=5,mode=620

as the original command from the book would break the glibc installation.

The version-check of my host system also seems sufficient:

Code:

I don't know which version of LFS you are trying to build, but it seems to me you're trying to include gold linker. That was just recently added, and the order of the packages was properly adjusted, and even bison was added into chapter 5. If the problem persists, try using --disable-gold, or remove any *-gold flag if you have any, but have not yet adjusted to new package order, or have bison installed in chapter 5.

I am using LFS8 (stable): http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...ble/index.html
I tried it with --disable-gold and there didn't seem to be any errors.

Check if /tools/bin/bison exists, it was added in chapter 5 just before 8.0 release

Slightly off topic, but I am curious about this:

I just completed the dev branch (20170723-systemd) and had no problems. Mind posting how the book version of the mount command would break glibc?

I too am following the LFS 8.0 current stable (not systemd) book and have bumped into an issue checking the build of "bunutils 2.27".

The base system is Slackware 14.1 (i386), the build of the "tools" went OK (I think), and CHROOT into the final emvironment. Build and check of items to "binutils 2.27" appears to have been successful. The binutils build also went fine as no errors jumped at me.

However, the "gold" issue crops up during the check phase of binutils with the following:

==================
All 3 tests passed
==================
make[5]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build/gold'
make[4]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build/gold'
make[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build/gold'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:940: check-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Target 'check' not remade because of errors.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build/gold'

snipped until the end ....

make[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build/libiberty/testsuite'
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build/libiberty'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build'
make: *** [Makefile:2205: do-check] Error 2
make: Target 'check' not remade because of errors.

I will go away and build binutils using "disable-gold" as noted above and let you know how the check turns out.

Krejzi · 07-28-2017, 04:10 AM

make -k check is used, which means "don't stop on errors". Error was probably expected. Feel free to ignore it

slakdrax · 07-28-2017, 05:25 AM

Many thanks. I did not know what the "-k" meant.

I put it back the way it was and will go ahead with the rest of the builds for the system.

I just put together my LFS build within the last week, and, in my experience, the tests throw a ton of errors. Generally, if they are at the end when its leaving the build directory, like this...

Quote:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/source/binutils-2.27/build'

... its no problem. Just expect it to fail out at the end of testing. Why? I have no idea, but a majority of them do, and it didn't have any measurable effect on my build. Mine works just fine.
