Hi,

I’m currently following the instructions in chapter 6, finished the build of Glibc successfully, and moved on to Zlib. Went past the configure and make stages smoothly enough, but testing it failed and gave me the following error -

(lfs chroot) root:/sources/zlib-1.2.11# make check

Could somebody please help me even UNDERSTAND this error in the first place? I checked the directory of Zlib, and the miningzip scripts are present and I can’t see any directories with the names. Where is the problem, actually? Did the make fail to generate those directories? Please do help me as soon as possible, when convenient. Thank you.

Please use code tags in your post it makes it MUCH easier to read

i CAN'T FIND

If you check the zlib directory you will find these files. They are created by make. But in your case they are not being executed. Either you have mounted your new partition with the noexec option (which is the default for user-mountable discs) or something is wrong with your chroot command, or with your dynamic filesystems. Exit chroot and check all these before continuing.
