07-01-2009 Host System: Linux 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux This is a 32 bit OS on 64 bit hardware. I have run the version-check.sh script and the system meets the requirement for a build.
Host gcc is: gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3) I have installed binutils without trouble so the basic setup seems to be working. However, no matter what I try, the new (target) GCC will not compile properly. First question is regarding the instructions: tar -jxf ../mpfr-2.3.2.tar.bz2 mv mpfr-2.3.2 mpfr tar -jxf ../gmp-4.2.4.tar.bz2 mv gmp-4.2.4 gmp I installed these packages on the host. Copied the sources to /opt and compile and installed them (without error messages) on the host system. Was this the right thing to do - the book seems to be a bit ambiguous on this (or maybe I'm just having a stupider than average day) After that I 1. unpacked the GCC package in /mnt/lfs/sources 2. created the build directory in /mnt/lfs/sources/gccbuils & cd'd to it 3. ran the CC=gcc.... 4. ran make Step 4 resulted in the error message: checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile Any help on this would be extremely useful.
