Progress Report - Chapters 6.10-6.11
Ok, so I had a small problem with ‘Re-adjusting the Toolchain‘ in Chapter 6.10. Seems that in Chapter 5.12. Binutils-2.17 - Pass 2 I forgot the very last cp -v ld/ld-new /tools/bin
command, and it borked things up in Chapter 6.10. After hours of help from ChrisS67 (current founder of LFS-Support) in the #lfs-support channel on irc.linuxfromscratch.org eventually I had to go back and re-do the binutils pass 2 chapter and everything was fine. Thank a million ChrisS67!
Anyways, after we got that figured out, I was able to finish Chapter 6.10 and Chapter 6.11. Binutils-2.17. I’m calling it a night as I’m exhausted. G’night folks.
glibc-2.5.1 Compiling Issues - Chapter 6.9
Ok, I made it through to Chapter 6.9, where I have to re-compile glibc-2.5.1 for the real system. I use the following steps:
tar -xvf ../glibc-libidn-2.5.1.tar.gz
mv glibc-libidn-2.5.1 libidn
sed -i ‘/vi_VN.TCVN/d’ localedata/SUPPORTED
sed -i ’s|libs -o|libs -L/usr/lib -Wl,\
-dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o|’ scripts/test-installation.pl
sed -i ’s|@BASH@|/bin/bash|’ elf/ldd.bash.in
mkdir -v ../glibc-build
cd ../glibc-build
../glibc-2.5.1/configure –prefix=/usr –disable-profile \
–enable-add-ons –enable-kernel=2.6.0 –libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc
make
make -k check 2>&1 | tee glibc-check-log
grep Error glibc-check-log
This resulted in:
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/dlfcn/bug-atexit3.out] Error 1
make[1]: *** [dlfcn/tests] Error 2
make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-cancel1.out] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-cancel24.out] Error 127
make[1]: *** [nptl/tests] Error 2
make: *** [check] Error 2
Ouch. The posix/annexc, nptl/tst-cancel1, and nptl/tst-cancel24 errors are expected, as per Chapter 6.9 - glibc of the LFS manual. The only problem is that I cannot seem to find any solutions or explanations of the atexit3 error. Googling ‘glibc atexit3‘ found very little. This post however suggested the --with-arch=i486 flag on the configure script. Of course, thinking I was smart, I used --with-arch=i686, thinking “Yeah, that’s what ./config.guess from the binutils package told me the architecture is, that must be it.” I was wrong. Still the same error. So now I’m trying with the --with-arch=i486 configure flag, I’ll let you know when it finishes…
It seems that this guy had the same problems, but he hasn’t posted a solution…
Update 2.11.2008 1:49p.m.: Ok, after sleeping, drinking some dew, and giving it another shot, I come back to try grep Error glibc-check-log again, but I get the same results. Then of course, I realize that I didn’t clean out the old build files before trying again, so I removed the glibc-build directory and remade it, went in and re-configured it with the --with-arch=i486 flag. Still same problem as before. I’ve still got some feelers out there to see if I can’t figure out if this is a show-stopper, or if I can ignore it. I’ll keep you updated.
Update 2.11.2008 10:55p.m.: Ok, so after hitting a few mailing lists and more than a few IRC channels, I get the general response of “It’s O.K., ignore it”, so that’s what I did. I’m continuing on with the project as-is.
