[SOLVED] Problem with applying patch while installing glibc-2.24 in lfs

koustubh · 10-19-2016, 11:11 AM

Hi,

I am building lfs on Ubuntu-16.04. And in Chapter 6 of lfs while installing glibc-2.2.4 i am stuck at the following error:

Code:

root:/sources# tar xf glibc-2.24.tar.xz
root:/sources# cd glibc-2.24
root:/sources/glibc-2.24# patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.24-fhs-1.patch
bash: patch: command not found

Please help me with the above problem. Would really appreciate your help.

You should have patch in the /tools directory (it was created in chapter 5). When you entered your chroot environment, you should have set a command path that included /tools right at the end.

You can check whether you did this correctly by typing echo $PATH. If /tools is not included, then your chroot instruction was incorrect. If /tools is included, then check whether patch is included in that directory. If not, you will need to go back and build it as the LFS user (it's in section 5.28).

Thank You. I checked using $PATH it showed

Code:

root:/sources/glibc-2.24# echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin

So I suppose tools is included but it is pointing to bin directory in tools. Is that a problem? If yes how should i proceed further?

No, /tools/bin is correct. Sorry for imprecision! So you do have the correct path but you still can't find patch. The next thing is to list /tools/bin and see if patch is actually there. My guess is that you forgot to build it. Fortunately the build order isn't important in chapter 5, so you can go back and build it now if necessary.

Thank you I rebuild the patch in the previous chapter. The problem was solved. Thank you for the support.
