Perl-5.12.2 configure error

I get this error during Perl config -

Code:

root:/sources/perl-5.12.2# patch -Np1 -i ../perl-5.12.2-libc-1.patch
patching file hints/linux.sh
Hunk #2 succeeded at 441 (offset 5 lines).
root:/sources/perl-5.12.2# sed -i 's@/usr/include@/tools/include@g' ext/Errno/Errno_pm.PL
root:/sources/perl-5.12.2# ./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools  -Dcc="gcc ${BUILD32}"
sh Configure -ds -e -Dprefix=/tools -Dcc=gcc -m32
***
*** I'm sorry, but /dev/null appears to be a file rather than a device.

*** Cannot continue, aborting.

How do I fix this.

Hi,

something must have gone wrong in chapter 6.2. Did you forget to

Code:

mknod -m 600 $LFS/dev/console c 5 1
mknod -m 666 $LFS/dev/null c 1 3

Anyway, I see that you are compiling perl5.12.2. This is the version from the development branch of LFS. You should use the stable version 6.7.

Hi,

I am using cross-lfs SVN-20100828-x86_64-Multilib and I have followed everything. I had few compile errors and managed to get pass that.

Best,

David

Well. you most certainly have missed something on the way. I finished compiling a similar setup last evening, and didn't have any problem. Also, a little more info would be helpful. Your posts are pretty sparse, you know.

OK, I am gonna give it a rip. Will get back with more details after resuming my build post New Year.
