Hello,
following the book, I encountered some problems:
vii. Errata
-----------
Following the given link:
http://trac.cross-lfs.org/clfs/errata/git/
the page displays the following:
Error: Not Found
No handler matched request to /clfs/errata/git
Is that normal?
Yes, no errata
5.8. GMP-5.0.5
--------------
On my machine (rather fresh Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit) the build resulted
in the following error:
configure error: checking C++ compiler g++ -fexceptions ... no
GMP.5.05 requires gcc with c++ support. 'version-check.sh' from
chapter "iv. Host System Requirements" could/should check for g++.
Something like
g++ --version | head -n1
should be added to the checking script
If you have GCC installed iwth your host, g++ should be there as well.
Since you are using ubnut did you do: sudo apt-get install build-
essential bison texinfo gawk && sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash ?
5.14. EGLIBC-2.15 Headers
-------------------------
EGLIBC requires autoconf and msgfmt. The commands
msgfmt --version | head -n1 and
autoconf --version | head -n1
could be added to the 'version-check.sh' script to test for that
at begin of the whole build procedure.
eglibc doesn't require those to build. It may request them, but it
certainly does not require them to build.
5.14. EGLIBC-2.15 Headers
-------------------------
In the current version, configure terminates with the error message:
checking sysdep dirs... configure: error: The alpha is not supported.
This comes from the fact that the EGLIBC Ports package is not added to
the EGLIBC source tree, as done in the other architectures I looked
at.
Adding the first three commands from 5.15. EGLIBC-2.15 (MIPS Version):
tar -jxvf ../eglibc-ports-2.15-r21467.tar.xz
cp -v Makeconfig{,.orig}
sed -e 's/-lgcc_eh//g' Makeconfig.orig > Makeconfig
fixes that.
Will add that sometime soon.
After that, configure terminates with the error message:
configure: error: linker with -z relro support required
I have two observations/questions:
First, why is the normal gcc (i684 host) used for this test?
Shouldn't be that the Alpha gcc (ok, chicken-egg-problem here ...)?
Second, other architectures build Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static before
building EGLIBC, while on Alpha the order is
5.13. Cross Binutils-2.23
5.14. EGLIBC-2.15 Headers
5.15. Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static
5.16. EGLIBC-2.15
Is there a specific reason for that?
There is probably something specific to the headers. Never have built
alpha, so am not sure.
You could browse the clfs-dev archive from before 2007 or so and see
if there is any info on the alpha book when it was being developed.
On the other hand, when I build Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static before
EGLIBC,
the build stops with the following error:
In file included from ../../../gcc-4.6.3/libgcc/../gcc/unwind-dw2.c:
333:0:
../../../gcc-4.6.3/libgcc/../gcc/config/alpha/linux-unwind.h:28:20:
fatal
error: signal.h: No such file or directory
I'll look into the missing signal.h thing first, since my assumption
is that Cross GCC-4.6.3 - Static should be before EGLIBC.
Greetings, Karin
Sincerely,
William Harrington
