Hi all,
I am having problem on the generation of LFS using the document version 6.7. The problem is the following:
At chapter 5.10 during the generation of GCC-4.5.1 - Pass 2 there is a problem around libiberty.an file. Here below the error section:

Code:

if test -n ""; then \
  case "" in \

    *)     thd=/tools/include/;; \

To generate LFS I am working on a Virtual Machine; here below is a description of my environment:
1) Host Machine is a Fedora 14 x86_64 distro (Linux ipmientry.milrd.nsn-rdnet.net 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 18 23:57:44 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux);
2) Virtual Machine is hosted on VirtualBox (VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.4_70112_fedora14-1.x86_64);
3) The virtual Machine is a Fedora 14 i686 distro (Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Mon Oct 18 23:56:17 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux).
I would like to inform you that I had successfully generated LFS using the Host environment on x86_64.
Thanks in advance for all the info you will give me to overcome this prolem :-)
Best Regards
Antonio Moschini

Have you verified if the file as actually there or not?

Sorry but I don't understand your question ;-(
The file libiberty.an was not present neither into the build subfolder (the one from which is asked to generate the build) nor into gcc-4.5.1 subfolder.
Thanks again

Hi,

I did notice that you did not use the directories the book tells you to. $LFS points to /opt/LFS (which can be ok, as long as you do this everywhere), you also use build instead of gcc-build (or binutils-build) as separate build directory.

- Are you sure that you did not make a mistake somewhere?
- Did you remove the source and build directories after you finished? This must always be done, but especially if you use build for binutils _and_ for gcc.

libiberty in general is provided by binutils, not gcc (did the build of binutils go ok?).

About libiberty.an: This file is created/used during the make step. It is not present before or after that step.

Another thing I just now noticed:

Quote:

make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Did you unset the possible extra build flags? This from chapter 5.10:

Quote:

Before starting to build GCC, remember to unset any environment variables that override the default optimization flags.

I'm guessing that this should be your first concern......

Hope this helps.
