Hi all, I am new to the mailing list and HLFS, and have just started having a go at building HLFS SVN-20070708.
My progress so far is up to Chapter 6, building Glibc 2.5, and all has gone well until now. Approximately half way down the page, having built Glibc the first time and removed the 'configparms' file, we then recreate a second configparms file (The section in light blue lettering) and rebuild a second time. When I try to run that second build, it stops almost immediately, stating that there is a missing separator in the configparms file, like so: make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" CVSOPTS="" -C ../glibc-2.5 objdir='pwd' all make[1]: Entering directory '/sources/glibc-2.5' /sources/glibc-build/configparms:6: *** missing separator. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/glibc-2.5' make: *** [all] Error 2 I have removed and retyped the contents of this file 3 times now and had the same error message when trying to build again. I've also had a friend look over the file contents and he agrees the content is as per the instructions: echo 'CC = gcc -fPIE CXX = g++ -fPIE CFLAGS-sln.c += -fno-PIC -fno-PIE +link = $(CC) -nostdlib -nostartfiles -fPIE -pie -o $@ $(sysdep-LDFLAGS) $(config-LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS-$(@F)) -Wl,-z,combreloc -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now $(hashstyle-LDFLAGS) $(addprefix $(csu-objpfx),S$(start-installed-name)) $(+preinit) `$(CC) --print-file-name=crtbeginS.o` $(filter-out $(addprefix $(csu-objpfx),start.o $(start-installed-name)) $(+preinit) $(link-extra-libs) $(common-objpfx)libc% $(+postinit),$^) $(link-extra-libs) $(link-libc) `$(CC) --print-file-name=crtendS.o` $(+postinit) ' > configparms If anybody else has experienced this or has an idea what might be wrong, I'd appreciate the info.
