[SOLVED] stuck in building binutils pass1

gibin · 12-21-2010, 06:40 AM

iam trying lfs for first time.i'm using lfs 6.3 and packages from livecd.i building this in ubuntu 9.10 as VM and have all necessary prerequisites.
now the problem is i cant complete the make process of binutils pass 1.i sucessfully built the temporary system once.But unfortunately lost it.i starting again from scratch and follow the same steps as i did earlier.but i cant pass this binutils package.
everything works fine until configure process.after that when i issue 'make' the operations in configure seems repeating its continuing these steps forever.
a copy of whats seeing in make process is given below

Wide guess; time skrew acuses it to run configure over and over again. What's your Vm?

Noway2 · 12-22-2010, 08:26 PM

I may be hallucinating, but I thought I saw this very question / problem posted here recently. The answer, in that thread was that the default Ubuntu is not an acceptable host platform but that it can be made into one. I think the problem is that the default tools and libraries are incorrect for building LFS. The recommendation was to try the Live CD.

Have you modified your tools to those recommended in the book or are you using the Ubuntu defaults?

Edit: a very similar question was answered here.

ozan,iam using oracle virtualbox in linux.i also tried the same in vmware.

gibin · 12-22-2010, 10:23 PM

i told u i done this job sucessfully once in the ubuntu platform.ubuntu lacks gawk,bison and patch utilities.i installed them externaly.i also tried the live cd but same effect.any idea???.
i got similar problem when i tried to build in binutils-build folder outside real $LFS/sources directory i think.

Definitely YOu are having time skew in the guest. It's command problem in both VBox, VMware and any other virtual system running in a computer with changing cpu speeding. For VirtualBox start from here, For VMware, their FAQ has a work around.

Noway2 · 12-23-2010, 04:28 AM

Aside from being an issue with your virtual Linux platform, the only real suggestion I have is to upgrade to a more recent version of LFS. Version 6.3 is about 1.5 years old and is about vintage to your Ubuntu 9.10. LFS is currently on version 6.7. You may have a tools incompatibility. I know that the book says tools version or later, but I have seen on several occasions where a tools update breaks compatibility older packages. I have been working on build LFS version 7 over the last week. I am using the current version of the live CD running directly with no virtual platform and it is going flawlessly.
