util-linux-2.12r error on 'make -C mount mount umount'

howdy there yal.

So I'm on part 5.30 (compiling util-linux-2.12r), I'm following exactly as it says in the book.

So I run the sed command, ./configure, and then 'make -C lib', and everything is fine.

Then I try running 'make -C mount mount umount' and it starts to compile, but then I get the following error

Code:

make: *** [mount.o] Error 1

make: Leaving directory `/home/lfs1/sources/util-linux-2.12r/mount'

lfs:/home/lfs1/sources/util-linux-2.12r$

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

What version of LFS, because I've got 6.1.1 and Util-linux is at version 2.12q with no errors. Have you googled to see if this is a possible error with r?

the version is 6.2, yeah I googled didn't get anything.

I just started over and all is good :D
