Hello, I am building LFS from version 8.4 and run into issues in actually building of the LFS System. For me the Part II that is Preparing the host system seems to have been completed successfully but the actual construction of LFS is failing.
On trying to execute *make mrproper* from the linux-4.20.12 folder it gives me the error /bin/sh: sed: command not found Makefile:624: arch//Makefile: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'arch//Makefile'. Stop. In fact other executables like tar, files also cannot be executed. *Host sys being used is* Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS *Version Check output* Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.30 bison (GNU Bison) 3.0.4 /usr/bin/yacc -> /usr/bin/bison.yacc bzip2, Version 1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010. Coreutils: 8.28 diff (GNU diffutils) 3.6 find (GNU findutils) 4.7.0-git GNU Awk 4.1.4, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 4.0.1, GNU MP 6.1.2) /usr/bin/awk -> /usr/bin/gawk gcc (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04) 7.4.0 g++ (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04) 7.4.0 (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.27-3ubuntu1) 2.27 grep (GNU grep) 3.1 gzip 1.6 Linux version 5.0.5-050005-generic (kernel@tangerine) (gcc version 8.3.0 (Ubuntu 8.3.0-3ubuntu1)) #201903271212 SMP Wed Mar 27 16:14:07 UTC 2019 m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.18 GNU Make 4.1 Perl version='5.26.1'; Python 3.6.7 sed (GNU sed) 4.4 tar (GNU tar) 1.29 texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.5 xz (XZ Utils) 5.2.2 g++ compilation OK The deviation from the book is - did not delete the individual source folders after installation - did not compare the installations logs with the ones published on the site so not certain if the installation of all temporary components did go through correctly or not. Am I missing a setting that needs to be done or do I need to re-prepare the host system and start all over again ? Regards, Vineet
