chroot woes with clfs update

bvl — 2013-05-26T00:34:03

Greetings

I am trying to build  CLFS (x86_64 non multilib) with these:-
gcc-4.8.0
eglibc-2.17


I borrowed the installation of libstdc++-4.8.0
from the latest LFS  

( http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter05/gcc-
libstdc++.html )  

and inserted it  just after zlib//before binutils in the toolchain.

The toolchain  (stuff for /tools and /cross-tools ) all compile.
However I am unable to chroot.  I keep getting /tools/bin/env  no such file or 
directory.

Though its there and not linked to anything in the host system.

And when I do ldd /tools/bin/env 
I get the reply 
" not a dynamic executible "

I have checked and all envars are set all sources compiled and installed 
correctly but I cant chroot.   I am wondering  if   the installation of 
libstdc++-4.8.0  is the problem.

Advice  would be appreciated

sincerely
bv

Thank you William Harrington for your quick reply.

Now Texinfo compiled as expected.

Thanks again.

I have successfully installed Ncurses-5.9 as per instructions given in 6.11

Any suggestion regarding the compilation error?

I am trying to build CLFS for x86_x64 system using Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit).

Thanks in advance.

gcc-4.8.0 clfs

bvl — 2013-04-17T17:32:23

Hello clfs'ers

The clfs-dev book has not been updated for a while and I was limbering up to 
attempt  a clfs-pure64-bit-build (AMD64-cpu ) with gcc-4.7.2  when 
gcc-4.7.3 and gcc-4.8.0  were released.  I noticed also there is a recent  lfs 
build with gcc-4.8.0.  The questios are:-
--a)  Is it worth upgrading the build to gcc-4.8.0 ?  and if so
--b)  does anyone know of patches* for gcc-4.8.0-pure-64-bit-build* as per 
clfs?

Thanks in advance.

sincerely
bv
* the same applies to gcc-4.7.3

Hello List

One problem I have had with all builds is this business with keyboard layout.
If you have anything other than an American keyboard.
I have posted about it as have others.
Is there a solution now ?
My own build of CLFS 2.0.0 RC-1 has not yet come to the point where this
becomes a problem but I will let you know when I get there.

All links have worked for me.

John Walton

our server's admin so we can get this on a roll.

I guess until that happens, maybe we can all look into the xml scripts  
and make sure all is fine. I know for two things that need fixing and  
I haven't had time to get into it, yet and that's the pkg-config and  
udev pages, maybe. I do know for sure, pkg-config. It as traces of  
autoconf in it. It needs to be rectified. If it wasn't udev, than  
maybe kmod was the other. When I get time off, lots of overtime at  
work, I'll look into it.

I guess one good look over the book's text and that all links are  
working would be good. I have the errata pages at the clfs wiki ironed  
out and the book should be pointing to them, both the RC1, and git  
book, and previous released books. Check them and make sure. If not,  
I'll need to fix them.

RIght now we are waiting to get access to the server agai

Modern GCC, binutils, and c libs generally don't need patches to
support ARM.  The embedded book has very few patches that touch code on
the toolchain for ARM and the config patches really shouldn't be
necessary if you want to do your own config for the c library.

Regarding kernels, that depends.  BeagleBoard and BeagleBoard-xM are
well supported in mainline Linux.  BeagleBone is not, yet, but 3.9 or
3.10 might see better support.  There are people, like Koen Kooi [1],
collecting patches for the bone on 3.8 and 3.9, though, until all those
patches make it to mainline via linux-omap mailing list.  For the Rasp
Pi, last I knew mainline wasn't well supporting the Broadcom chip, but
that will be changing soon, if it hasn't already simply due to the
number of boards out there.  Boards based on AllWinner chips should be
seeing decent mainline kernel support real soon now, too.

I last had a go at CLFS systoort in 2008 for a beagleboard.  At the time a 
large number of patches were needed.  Am I now to assume that    modern 
kernels and gcc    now support arm cpu's such  that extensive patches as in 
2008  are  unnecessary?

Yes.  You're correct.


The sysroot book needs love, it's basically been stagnant for a few
years now.  You're welcome to improve it and send patches to the -dev
list.


Not that I know of.


Should be able to, yes.


I'm not that familiar with the patches for the raspi but but I'm
certain they aren't in the sysroot book.

Does the raspi not work properly without patched eglibc, gcc, and
binutils?  Isn't it just an armv6/ARM11 core?  Wouldn't it run armv5
code (often called armel) without issue?

clfs-sysroot for arm/raspberrypi

bvl — 2013-03-19T15:33:22

Greetings,

I have been looking clfs for a raspberrypi project.  I came across the PiLFS 
site  ( http://www.intestinate.com/pilfs/ ) but this appears to be based on a 
prebuild binary rather than traditional (C)LFS instructions of how to do it.
I also browsed clfs-embedded/arm (
 http://cross-lfs.org/view/clfs-embedded/arm/  ) and   for a raspberrypi 
project  and I stumbled on this:- (  
http://www.jayway.com/2013/01/20/linux-from-scratch-on-raspberry-pi/ )

BUT my instinct it with the  sysroot clfs ( 
http://cross-lfs.org/view/clfs-sysroot/arm/ ).  It seem more substantial (it 
uses eglibc for a start), with 
more milage for long-rerm development and  usage as  more-powerful  raspbis 
are rolled out .  Now I take  'sysroot' to mean the whole shebang is built on 
a foreign-host  (in this case an 'x86-cpu-based-computer  and the resultant 
image is ransferred to some device which is then implanted into a raspberrypi 
board).  Am I correct in this interpretation?

Eitherway the current cblfs sysroot looks a

湘雪秋 — 2013-03-07T03:33:00

thanks for help. i follow the makefile, find clue like below:
in .config:

CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX="${CLFS_TARGET}-"

then Rules.mak:

CROSS = $(call
qstrip,$(CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX))

then ***.sh:

CC = $(CROSS)gcc

 

and i have predefine 'CLFS_TARGET'
as "i686-pc-linux-uclibc"

so why this happen?

 

 

and is this the main
problem?

 

after I call make, invalid
option will show like below, are these errors no problem?

Hi John,

I use SSH or a host with a GUI depending on what machine I'm using so  
I can just copy and paste the commands. You could use GPM and lynx /  
links / elinks with the HTML book if you don't have SSH or a GUI on  
the host.

Many thanks development team.

Before I start on another installation may I ask if it is possible now to transfer commands from the book to the command line.
Not type them in all of the time.
Ideas like general purpose mouse or using a text editor like emacs running the book in one buffer and shell in another.
This is to cut down on time and typing mistakes.
