Re: [lfs-support] Error at GlibC
Thanks Elly, This worked: sudo apt-get install gawk sudo update-alternatives --set awk /usr/bin/gawk Then I started from scratch and all is well.

It might still be trying to find mawk. If that fails as well, try rebuilding the entire LFS system, as the tools might be directing to mawk as well. If even that fails, make sure Ubuntu is using gawk as the default awk, and that all programs are using gawk as well. Though, at last check, I didn't think the server edition came with mawk at all...

Hello all,
I am at 5.8 Adjusting the Tools chain.
... and I am really confused.
Here is the command:
SPECS=`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs
$LFS_TGT-gcc -dumpspecs | sed \ -e 's@/lib\(64\)\?/ld@/tools@g' \
-e /^\*cpp:$/{n;s,$, -isystem /tools/include,} $SPECS
echo New specs file is: $SPECS
unset SPECS
Now I am a beginner here but this looks like we construct an external
SPECS file (the internal one is compiled with GCC is that
right??).
Where is this file?
When I run it I get New specs file is: $SPECS as if the $SPECS
variable is null.
It is a rather complex construct. When you need to check something like
this, break it down:
dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)
You are the user lfs and $LFS_TGT is defined, right? It should be:
i686-lfs-linux-gnu for a 32-bit system and x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu for a
64-bit system.
Then you can run '$LFS_TGT-gcc -dumpspecs' and see what it is giving.
We are using sed to change a couple of directory paths to /tools so the
right version of gcc is used.

[lfs-support] NFS root...
I plan on running my LFS system NFS root. Are there special boot time scripts that are meant for NFS root? I'm building LFS for booting via PXE, so I plan on skipping installation of grub. The purpose of this Linux system is to facilitate bare metal recovery. Has anyone gotten Mondo Backup to work with LFS? Are there better options? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I feel I'd like to have some hard work again:), so now I'm trying to upgrade that system. As far as I know It could be a failure, but definately not an easy task... I'm confused about how to upgrade the toolchain. I believe constructing a temp. system can be skipped, as I have a functional LFS. I'm doing the project chrooting into LFS. I have updated the arithmetic packages that gcc need, and binutils. Ok, to make it short I don't know the order of the packages to update. Any clue would be appreciated! adam Some people apparently upgrade the toolchain in a running LFS - but I'm not sure if any of them read lfs-support. If they don't answer on this list, you might need to ask on blfs-support. The reliable method is to use the old system to build the new one - on a different partition, following the book (particularly, checking the requirements, and building chapter 5. After that is finished, of course, you have to build whatever else you use. Upgrading the toolchain falls into the if it breaks, you keep both pieces category. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

And why do you think you have a problem ? (I'm guessing a package fails to configure, but '6.49' without a book version means nothing). For some recent releases, pkg-config was not installed (its dependencies became too great). If you are using one of those versions of the book, why do you think you need it ? In general, if you think you missed a package, look to see if any of the programs or libraries from it have been installed. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I'm building LFS for booting via PXE, so I plan on skipping installation of grub. The purpose of this Linux system is to facilitate bare metal recovery. Has anyone gotten Mondo Backup to work with LFS? Are there better options? Hello Michael, I've used NFS root during CLFS mips, sparc, and x86 builds, and pxe for x86 with rootnfs isn't difficult. Enable the ip autolevel options in the kernel config and enable root over nfs options. Then when you setup your kernel boot line add the approrpiate kernel options like: root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp look at the kernel parameters documentation for other ip options. Should be no other configuration required. Of course I'm assuming your nfs server is already setup, you can figure that out. There's a hint we use at cross-lfs when netbooting with x86 or sparc. http://hints.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Netboot-X86 You should be able to boot your LFS system wihtout any system changes. Rather than the system loading the kernel from a drive, it loads it from the network and the rootfs is mounted and then the system takes over and the rest is just like using LFS via the local hard drive. make sure your /etc/fstab is proper on the server before doing this. I think that the / line will be / /dev/nfsroot or some such. Probably find more in some netbooting guides that are current. Remembering from memory, i may be missing some critical changes in fstab or the bootscripts.
