I started on with building the LFS system using LFS-6.7 and ubuntu 10.04 LTS as the host.
After untarring the package Binutils-2.20.1.tar.bz2 I made a dedicated build directory for installing it.
cd into the build directory and then configured the package in chapter 5.4.1
Till then everything was good but after giving the make command following was shown as error.

make[3]: *** [bfd.info] Error 1

make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd/doc'
Making info in po

make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd/po'

make[1]: *** [all-bfd] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2



Please suggest a remedy asap.

Hi

Did you check that your Ubuntu system is compliant with the Host system requirements here run the script post the output back here

yes i checked everything before starting

I see you are building lfs 6.7 that is a bit old there is lfs 7.0 now here

Hi rkmv,

You posted the concluding error lines, not the actual error(s), which are shown before the make[3]: *** [bfd.info] Error 1 line. Can you post the 5 - 10 lines before the make[3]: *** [bfd.info] Error 1 error line?

BTW: Without the appropriate info I would guess you are missing texinfo (makeinfo) on your host.

Hope this helps.

PS: Although the current LFS 7.0 is more up-to-date, you can still build LFS 6.7 if you want/need to.
