hi all,
i am sure this thread is going to continue for quite a long time...
i am not much into programming as into linux administration...but i am trying to complile linux-from-scratch v6.1 packages just to hav a some fun with totally customised linux on my machine.
according to the document instructions i did 'make' on gcc folder during gcc pass2. but unexpectedly the following error occured...shown below are the last few lines


how do i fix this....i worked exactly according to the instructions

link to the document :
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/gcc-pass2.html

except for i (obviously) deleted the gcc-build folder that was made during the first pass to create a new one.

There is a specific forum for Linux-from-Scratch here on this board, under Distros. You should pursue your questions there.

He has, hasn't he? This is the LFS forum.

it may be( I don't know for sure) that since you deleted the gcc-build directory, that may have done it. Again just a thought, I'm working on getting a 6.0 build to work...not having too much sucess

I Agree. You need to follow exactly as the book says.
Don't delete until they say too.

They will mention any files you can delete to save space.

well..during first pass of gcc i had built a gcc-build directory. and after the step(doing 'make install') it hadn't said to delete the folder.
In gcc-pass2 stage it again says
mkdir gcc-build

now where am i supposed to create this folder if i dont delete the previous one?

My bad, the LFS-book really says So you actually were supposed to delete the GCC Pass 1 source, and Build directories (as well as any other sources it didn't warn about deleting). That should salve your problem.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

did you remove the gcc-3.4.1 directory? That may be the problem, it maybe building the 'pass 2' from the same source used for the 'pass 1'. Just a thought, again, no guarantees.

ok...i have done the compilation once again just to ensure that i had not missed a point...but again failed at the same error.
the first time i had deleted the gcc-build directory and created a new one. but this time, i also deleted the gcc-3.4.3 directory and applied the patches freshly. but the same error persists.
the first line of the page says...
---------------------
This package is known to have issues when its default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options) are changed. If any environment variables that override default optimizations have been defined, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, unset them when building GCC.
---------------------
can this be the problem? anybody knows i can check those flags and set them appropiately?
or what else can be the problem? the error says - 'The following requested languages were not found: c++'

Power by Google

thanks man ! !
the problems solved and i hav sucessfully compiled gcc for phase2. but thats not it...i'll be back to bug you more

can i compile glibc without locales ?

I found this link

hotplug..? is it something similar to kudzu that comes with redhat/fedora packages? if yes, do i need to install/compile kudzu later in presence of hotplug if i want the functionality of kudzu?
