i have a problem with adjusting toolchain process
i'm reading LFS 7 and my dist is debian squeeze

also im in /mnt/lfs/sources directory with lfs account
when i issue this command:
SPECS=`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs
i got this error:
bash: i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found
dirname: missing operand
Try `dirname --help' for more information.

what's wrong guys?

i did a few things and when i issue this command:
cat /specs | grep ':/tools'
here's the output:
%{muclibc:/tools/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0;:%{mbionic:/system/bin/linker;:/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2}}

is this correct?

Hi,
If this executable cannot be found then you probably messed up the previous step (5.7. Glibc-2.14.1), which installed it.

Assuming you did not make a typo in the SPECS=`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs, it looks ok and the content of $LFS_TGT also seems ok (i686-lfs-linux-gnu). Run uname -m to check the i686 part.

If I look at your LFS post history I see you had a lot of problems. My advise: Start from scratch again to make sure all your previous problems are solved.

Hope this helps.

thanks for your answer
content of LFS_TGT is equal to $(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu
i found i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc under /tools/bin, but there was no i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc.i'm sure i did everything right so far.
could you tell me where should i look for i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc.i'm confuse aboute the location of i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc.

Hi,
Although I cannot check it at this moment, I do believe it should reside in (/mnt/lfs)/tools/bin.

You do mention having this one: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. If that is the case than you did make a mistake somewhere down the road.

PS: I made a mistake in my previous reply: i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc is installed during the build of gcc, and _not_ glibc as mentioned before!

Hope this helps.

i'm doing LFS from begining.i'm in chapter 5 compiling gcc.i issued make and make install command and they went well.but when i want to create the symbolic link i got this error:

root@ubuntu:/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build# ln -vs libgcc.a `$LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name | \
> sed 's/libgcc/&_eh/'`
No command '-gcc' found, did you mean:
Command 'cgcc' from package 'sparse' (multiverse)
Command 'gcc' from package 'gcc' (main)
Command 'gcc' from package 'pentium-builder' (universe)
-gcc: command not found

what should i do,should i put a "./" before $LFS_TGT-gcc"?

i sat the LFS_TGT as root and issued the command again(as you may know i can't issue this command as lfs ):

root@ubuntu:/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build# ln -vs libgcc.a `$LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name | \
sed 's/libgcc/&_eh/'`
i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found
`./libgcc.a' -> `libgcc.a'

is this correct?

In post7 it shows you as rootthe packages should be built as user "lfs"
If this is true have you rebuilt the previous as lfs or root?

i unzip,configure and make the packages as lfs user and make install it as root
i can't make sym link as lfs. permission denied!

Hi,
All the steps in chapter 5 should be done as user lfs!

Hope this helps.

i konw and i did everything as lfs ,so far.but i can't make sym link.maybe i don't have permission.what should i do?

Are you sure there was no problem in chapter 4.3 with chown the directories

Hi,
I really doubt that: You either used root to do the make install step, or you gave us the wrong information. The permission denied message points to doing the make install step as root user.....

Hope this helps.

sure i did make install as root . because i don't have the permission. you mean i have to be able to make install as lfs user?
