Questions about building LFS

kornerr · 06-20-2005, 06:04 AM

I want to use 2.4.31 kernel instead of suggested 2.6.8.1 one in LFS book.
But Linux-Libc-Headers exist only for 2.6.x.
Can I use the ones from /usr/include, or from /usr/src/linux/include?

Thanks.

Ok, I've used the ones from /usr/include.

But when I tried to compile Glibc-2.3.4, I had got the following error:

Code:

make[2]: *** [/lfs/build/glibc/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.stmp] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/local/src/lfs/build/glibc/glibc-2.3.4/sunrpc'
make[1]: *** [sunrpc/others] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/local/src/lfs/build/glibc/glibc-2.3.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

I've taken Linux-Libc-Headers from /usr/src/linux/include, but had failed again:

LFS makes me think that it's not intended for everyone (only for 2.6.x users). I'm thinking to proceed with reading Bootdisk-HOWTO.

Can you help me? Advise anything? Maybe not about LFS, but about building custom Linus system.

Thanks.

Follow the Lfs 6.0 book up to the point of the (kernel, Libc-Headers,And Module-init-utils) and use the same versions the 4.0 book uses for these three packages following any commands issued that are only relevant to the 2.4 series kernel.

Thanks, will try it.

Chapter 5.34.
While doing

Code:

./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools -Dstatic_ext='IO Fcntl POSIX'

script told me that I miss "libgdbm.so.3".
How can I fix it? I've used gcc-3.3.4 instead of suggested gcc-3.4.1

Thanks.

I am sorry but what Lfs book are you useing and what page?

kornerr · 06-23-2005, 08:45 PM

LFS6.0

You may need to run /sbin/ldconfig after making changes to libraries, to be sure that the cached information is up-to-date.

The library search-process in Linux is .. shall we say .. interesting.

I decided that LFS is too hard for me... at least now.
So no need to worry
