Problem with Glibc config

martyrdom · 03-16-2011, 02:32 PM

Hi,
I known, there was a very similar post already but situation was different - someone mixed two different ver. of LSF Book and the sources.
I'm using LFS Book v6.7 and the Sources 6.7
My host system is LFS Boot CD v. 6.3

The problem is that when I typed a configuration command for Glibc I've got an error message like that:

Code:

checking for cpuid.h usability... no
checking for cpuid.h presence... no
checking for cpuid.h... no
configure: error: gcc must provide the <cpuid.h> header

In Glibc config.log I've found:

Code:

conftest.c:83:19: error: cpuid.h: No such file or directory

File cpuid.h IS here:
/mnt/lfs/tools/lib/gcc/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/4.5.1/include/cpuid.h

I kept follow all the instructions in the book. Try do it twice and got the same error.

Any help or work around? Please...

Just checking on my box
bash-4.1$ locate cpuid.h
locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.4.4/include/cpuid.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.35.4/arch/ia64/include/asm/sn/sn_cpuid.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.35.4/include/config/x86/cpuid.h

It just may be a typo in the ./configure. Workaround? Try a symlink to cpuid.h in /usr/include :-D

I thought about it but how to put symlink on a CD?
(/usr/include belongs to my host system - LFS LiveCD Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Yes, that does sound silly, but it's not quite what I meant
/checks book

By the time you're compiling glibc, you are in chroot. So /mnt/lfs/anywhere is no longer relevant.
In the chroot, run
ln -s /tools/lib/gcc/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/4.5.1/include/cpuid.h /usr/include

and that would do it. Mistakes in that area (early ch 6) are often because something is wrong with the way you re-entered chroot.

I should mention that before that I'm still in chapter 5.7.1
It is the first pass - before chroot

Perhaps totay I will try to start all over again from the beginning.
This time I will use Book and Sources in version 6.3 - it match perfectly with my LFS LiveCD v.6.3

Hi,

I just tried building LFS 6.7 using the LFS liveCD as host to find out if I get that same message (I did install lfs 6.7, but used debian): I do get warnings about cpuid.h, but the configure steps keeps running (final cpuid message: checking for cpuid.h... yes). The warnings I see are well documented and can be ignored.

Could you give a bit more info?

- Which liveCD are you using (I used lfslivecd-x86-6.3-r2145),
- What does echo $LFS_TGT show (i686-lfs-linux-gnu),

I do believe a mistake was made in the ../glibc-2.12.1/configure ...... step. If I change --host=$LFS_TGT into --host=$LFS_TFT and run the ./configure step it stops with a configure error and the same errors you see. It seems a valid $LFS_TGT is needed, can you confirm it is set correctly?

Hope this helps.

It show me exactly the same
Maybe I did a mistake before? I'm going to try again

It starts to look that way

Wishing you a smooth build!

So I started again. The same confiruration - book 6.7, Sources 6.7 and host LiveCD 6.3
This time I get only warnings like druuna, not errors. Just finish make install

Thanks for help!
