hi all
i am building lfs6.7,using lfslivecdx86-r2160(using as a host)
have done till 4.4[lfs6.7] on one terminal
on terminal'lfs$' is appeared(after chapter 4.4)
------------------------------------------------------
i opened another terminal
first i (from pendrive)copied pakgs (tarf file) to /mnt/lfs,
here i untared lfs-packages6.7 ,like
[root[/mntlfs]#tar -xvf lfs-packages 6.7)
its created one dir'sources'(in /mnt/lfs)
-----------------------------------------------------
i have done two methods at root[ ]# only,not lfs$
because i treid installation @lfs$,but i cant

i done two ways but i dont know will it correctly successful installed or not
--------------------------------------------------------
i am giving onlu last 4 stpes of result
-
1 st method:

cd /mnt/lfs
mkdir /tools
mkdir /sources
mkdir /build
cd build
tar..[whichever pkg-now binutils]
mkdir binutils-build

------------------------------------
$LFS=/mnt/lfs
2)method
cd $LFS/sources
tar ..binutils package
cd binutils pkg
mkdir-v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build ,

here (in two methods) i done following
---------------------------------------------
1)../binutils-2.20.1/configure \
--target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools \
--disable-nls --disable-werror


checking where to find the target windmc... just compiled
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking whether -fkeep-inline-functions is supported... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
--------------------------------------------
2)make [here i dint see any error msgs]

make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/ld'
Making all in po
make[4]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/ld/po'
make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

3)make install( i am using/building 32 bit)
make[3]: Entering directory

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install'.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-target'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build'
at both methods same result
after 'make install'
make

1q)do i need to start installation process @ lfs$ or root#
2q)how can i come
3q)how to start fresh installation
4q)if something error occurs ,how to remove partially installed pkg,to start fresh installation

thanks

Hi,
All of chapter 5 must be done as user lfs and all of chapter 6 as user root (which is mentioned in the book...)

???? No idea what you are asking.

Fresh as in starting from scratch/remove all that you have done so far? If so:
- as root cd into $LFS and remove everything,
- delete the lfs user,
- remove the /tools link.

The configure, make and make test/check steps do not install anything. If you encounter errors and want to start again with a specific packet: Remove the source directory (and possibly the separate build directory). Untar the package and start again.

Once you do a make install the files are copied ("installed") to their appropriate location. Removing those are harder (you need to do this by hand), luckily all the packages that are installed during the LFS build have a section that mentions all the installed files.

Hope this helps.

I presume you mean change to user lfs? that is done at the end of chapter 4.3 / 4.4 you change to user lfs then. You dont need to be root till chapter 6 as mention by druuna. You must login as user lfs each time you restart building the system

hi druuna
thanks for reply
1)i have done following procedure
$LFS=/mnt/lfs
cd $LFS/sources
tar ..binutils package
cd binutils pkg
mkdir-v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
----------------------------------binutils pkg------------
2)
here i am giving only binutils
1)lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$/configure
2)lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$ make
3)lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$ make install
after this i havnt seen any error msgs
if u want see i wl upload separate
instead of uploading ,i will check ,will it installed or not

---------------------------------------------------------
3)i dint add following line to binutils configure
"is this required "CC="gcc-B/usr/bin/" add

before this
../binutils-2.20.1/configure \
--target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools \
--disable-nls --disable-werror
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4)after ./configure,make,make install,how can i check is it (specific pkg) successfully insttalled or not

5)what is command to scroll up on terminal
i am seeing only half part after 'make',on terminal
i want copy whole after make command

0r
can we do make > filename
by doing this will it copy into file ,whole after make command

---------------------------------following is gcc pkg--------------------------------------------------
6)while doing 5.5. GCC-4.5.1 - Pass 1

at the end of configure msg was like this
"if you obtained GMP, MPFR and MPC from vendor distrubution package,makesure that you have installed both the libraries and header files,they may be located in separate packages"

---------------------------------------------------------------
7)lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build$ make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO I NEED TO DOWNALOAD ,AND DO THE REST PART(means untar this pkgs,configure,make,make install)
mpfr-3.0.0.tar.bz2
gmp-5.0.1.tar.bz2
mpc-0.8.2.tar.gz
will it not built in GCC-4.5.1 pkg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why would you add that? That is part op binutils pass 2, not binutils pass 1.

Follow the book to the letter, don't mix and match!

See post#2, answer to question 4. But if you did not get any errors during the build: Trust the installation process and go to the next step or chapter.

Shift-PageUp/Shift-PageDown and mouse scroll both work on my side.

You could, but there is no real need to do so. If the make step fails, the error is shown in the last lines of the output, which should still be visible in the terminal.

make .... ..... 2>& 1>make.log

If that is shown you did not follow the book. The first step in chapter 5.5 gcc pass 1 deals with this issue.

Only continue when the previous command finished successfully. If the ./configure ... step fails it needs to be resolved first, continuing with the make step is otherwise pointless.

You need to follow all the steps in the book, in the order they are given (see my previous remark about the beginning of chapter 5.5).

Hope this helps.

--i didnot/did't add following line to binutils configure
"is this required "CC="gcc-B/usr/bin/" add---
i think i miss typed as dint-sorry for this

1)here i checked with make test/check following result
here error was showing means not installed?

------------binutils-----------------------------------
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$ make check
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build'

""configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.3.1+ and MPC 0.8.0+.""

Try the --with-gmp, --with-mpfr and/or --with-mpc options to specify
their locations. Source code for these libraries can be found at
their respective hosting sites as well as at
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/. See also
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html for additional info. If
you obtained GMP, MPFR and/or MPC from a vendor distribution package,
make sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header
files. They may be located in separate packages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3)in /mnt/lfs/sources ,gmp-5.0.1.tar.bz2,mpfr-3.0.0.tar.bz2,mpc-0.8.2.tar.bz2 was there prevoiusly
the following message was after gcc configure,u can see top also

""configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.3.1+ and MPC 0.8.0+.""

then i downloaded from google following pkgs
gmp-4.2.1.tar.gz,mpfr 2.3.1.tar.gz,mpc 0.8.0.tar.gz
i untared it ,moved to what they mentioned in book
again same error

i think this is not a case( error),see result of gcc configure at last lines ie

""if you obtained GMP, MPFR and/or MPC from a vendor distribution package,
make sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header
files. They may be located in separate packages.""

i think i need to check libraries,headers of gmp-5.0.1.tar.bz2,mpfr-3.0.0.tar.bz2,mpc-0.8.2.tar.bz2 packages in /mnt/lfs/sources right

Hi,
Again: READ THE BOOK, THEN READ AND FOLLOW THE BOOK!!!!

The reason why the above doesn't work is mentioned in the binutils pass 1 chapter!!!!!

Again: DON'T CONTINUE UNTIL THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER IS SUCCESSFULLY DONE!!!!

These are the wrong versions (have a look at chapter 3.2).

Again: Follow the book!
No, you need to follow the book!
