[lfs-support] Building temporary system: difference between GCC PASS 2 in LFS 9.1 and 10.0

[Michele Bucca]

Hello There

I was wondering what was the difference between the build process of GCC
PASS 2 in version 9.1 and version 10.0 when we build the temporary tools.

../configure   \
--build=$(../config.guess) \
--host=$LFS_TGT\
--prefix=/usr  \
CC_FOR_TARGET=$LFS_TGT-gcc \
--with-build-sysroot=$LFS  \
--enable-initfini-array\
--disable-nls  \
--disable-multilib \
--disable-decimal-float\
--disable-libatomic\
--disable-libgomp  \
--disable-libquadmath  \
--disable-libssp   \
--disable-libvtv   \
--disable-libstdcxx\
--enable-languages=c,c++

I know that in version 9.1 we did a native build of GCC using the
cross-compiler, but why in version 10.0 were disabled a lot of libraries
like *libstdcxx*? Why that library is only built later inside a chroot?

On the 64 bit build system unpack the source code of the kernel, move

I found this CPU on Aliexpress

https://m.it.aliexpress.com/item/32981880280.html?spm=a2g0n.shopcart-amp.item.32981880280;

and this Mother Board on Aliexpress

https://m.it.aliexpress.com/item/32850389075.html?spm=a2g0n.shopcart-amp.item.32850389075;

would you spend money on them? Do you trust Aliexpress?

[lfs-support] Building a Computer for LFS. What Components do you suggest?

[Michele Bucca]

Hello There,
I'm a university student and I currently don't have a job. I'm saving
money because I would like to build a computer from scratch. I love
computers and I want to learn as much as possible. I think that
assembling a computer could be an interesting learning experience.

Here's the question: What is a CPU that you would recommend? If
possible can you include the SBU of that CPU? I currently own a laptop
with a Celeron N2840 and the SBU is 7 minutes. Linux From Scratch has
taught me a lot and I would like to run it as my main operating
system. What are the CPUs that you suggest? Once I tried to compile
bionic libc from AOSP and it caused my PC to lag terribly because of
soong's bootstrap. it kept creating children with the same command
line arguments that were apparently doing the same thing  eating all
my RAM (4GB) and forced my  PC to use swap. Building LLVM and CLANG
with ninja also makes my PC really slow and the process takes hours.
It's worse than GCC from this point of view.

I'm not an hardcore gamer, as a matter of fact I don't game very
often. I usually run GBA emulators, NES Emulators, Minecraft and so
on. I don't care of getting hundreds of FPS. All I need is to be able
to watch 1080p60 Videos on youtube without lag.

Compiling Speed is important to me. Also If you want, you can give me
suggestions on other important pieces like the Power Supply or a
Monitor. I don't have one yet. If I could I would go without one and
control the PC using ssh from the LAN. Do you know how to do that?
Sorry if I'm off-topic.

Why don't we use a cross-compiler? I suggest to make a cross-compiler
for i586-linux-gnu and use that to build the temporary system. I can
create a guide for that.

The Linux kernel can run on a CPU as old as a 486. You can check this
by unpacking the most recent kernel and running 'make menuconfig'

There deselect the option "64-bit kernel", go to "Professor type and
features" and finally check "Processor Family"

Someone has installed Gentoo on a 486 computer. More info here:

Hi all,

Getting rather frustrated as I've been trying to build my first LFS system
for over a week now!

The instructions in the book are pretty straight forward, yet following
them to the letter has gotten me absolutely nowhere after countless retries.

At first I had weird permission problems at every turn because my
/etc/fstab was mounting my LFS partition with the noexec flag for some
ridiculous reason.
Then it was Glibc-2.28 refusing to build for god-only-knows what reason.
Now I seem to be past those issues after several complete restarts, but
make is
complaining about some undeclared identifiers in
libgcc/config/i386/cpuinfo.c.

So now I'm on chapter 5.10 of book version 8.3, trying to build the second
pass of GCC but I keep running into the same errors after 3 complete
restarts. I can
get up to 5.9 without a hitch, but there is one major thing I don't
understand:

Is it imperative to delete $LFS/sources/gcc-8.2.0 after completing chapter
5.8? Or should it be left there so that libstdc++-v3 doesn't need to be
recompiled?

If I delete it, I get roughly 1.5 hours into chapter 5.10 before I
encounter the same problem described here

:

What architecture is your host? is your system 32bit or 64bit?

try to run this


echo "int main(){}" > dummy.c
$TGT_LFS-gcc dummy.c
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'

what is the output?

 If I don't delete '/mnt/minlinux/sources/gcc-8.2.0' after 5.8, then once
again I get roughly 1.5 hours into 5.10 before hitting the following:

Checking multilib configuration for libgcc...

I'm using Ryzen 3 (1300X). If the question is about a *laptop*, be
aware that almost every manufacturer does things differently, and
the question should really be about the specific make and model.
Also, wired-lan and DVD drives are becoming less common, and for
wifi the linux support might be problematic (gentoo, and
particularly Arch, might have details for specific machines, but be
aware the specifications change).

But 'building' a PC usually implies a desktop machine.

For a desktop ryzen, memory (and dual channel), and memory speed,
are key : on my 1300X I've only got 2x4GB, that is usually enough
but for a ryzen 5 (SMT, effectively 8 CPUs) it will probably not
be enough.

Also, if a desktop machine, it probably requires an HDMI or DP
monitor, the old vga D-sUB will not suffice.

For an Intel Desktop, would you recommend an i3-7100 CPU?

[lfs-support] Minimum Hardware configuration for a Custom PC

[Michele Bucca]

Hello There

I would like to build a PC in the future. As I am strict on money,
what is the cheapest recommended hardware configuration for a speedy
build for Linux From Scratch?

Currently I have this laptop:  Lenovo b50-10
CPU: Intel Celeron N2840
RAM: 4GB of RAM (I don't know the type)
HD: 500GB

What configuration would you recommend below €400?
Is the Ryzen 5 2400G a good CPU? I read that the first gen had a few issues:
segmentation faults when compiling with 4 parallel jobs, random
reboots, etc. [1]
Did they fix that? Does anyone use that CPU?

Whoops! There's a typo in the command, here's the correct one:

`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/include-fixed/limits.h

I've said it before but I'll write it again so you won't have to look for it:

My cross-compiler lacked of a complete limits.h header. To generate
it, inside GCC's source directory, I had to run

cat gcc/limitx.h gcc/glimits.h gcc/limity.h > \
`dirname $($LFS_TGT-gcc -print-libgcc-fiòe-name)`/include-fixed/limits.h

where $LFS_TGT is the TARGET of your cross-compiler, eg: arm-linux-gnueabi

These instructions are also reported on the LFS book [1]

Michele, I don't have a solution your compilation issue, but I do have a
meta-solution.  Break away from beating your head against the wall
here--it's an impediment to the solution.  Do something nice for a while,
until you can come back to this with a fresher perspective.  It's rarely a
waste of time.  "Sleep on it" if possible.


I've already solved my problem, however I would like to thank you for your
interest. It's the first time that someone gives me an advice like this.
Thanks for your interest for my self-care.

Cheers

- Michele

[lfs-support] build TAR fails miserably

[Michele Bucca]

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to bother you with a question like this but I have no other
place to ask, nobody has answered to this.
I have problems compiling TAR for arm-linux-gnueabi (ARMv5), I think
that the problem is Glibc. I built the toolchains a lot of times using
different versions of GLIBC, GCC and BINUTILS using the LFS book as a
reference. the package versions are the one suggested by LFS so they
SHOULD be compatible.  I'm so tired and in frustration. Anyway, the
error that I get is this one

I'm using gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1)
as native compiler.

These are the info on my cross-compiler (built manually):

COLLECT_GCC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/home/michele/x-tools/arm-linux-gnueabi/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/8.2.0/lto-wrapper
Target: arm-linux-gnueabi
Configured with: ../configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi
--prefix=/home/michele/x-tools/arm-linux-gnueabi/
--enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libsanitizer --disable-multilib
--disable-libmpx
Thread model: posix
gcc version 8.2.0 (GCC)

Cross Binutils 2.31.1
../configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --disable-nls --disable-multilib

and Glibc 2.28 compiled with: ../configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi
--prefix=/home/michele/tmp/arm/install/arm-linux-gnueabi
--enable-obsolete-rpc --disable-werror --disable-debug
--enable-add-ons=no libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes


otherwise it would fail because of a warning being treated as an error
while compiling op-2.h

Can someone help me with this? The toolchain can cross-compile some
complex packages such as:

- binutils
- gmp
- mpfr
- mpc
- gcc
- glibc (disable werror)
- busybox
- xz

but it fails with this one. What can I do?

I've tried to use some toolchains provided by crosstool-ng and
buildroot and they work fine but mine doesn't. If I can't get a static
TAR to cross-compileI can basically give up on ARM. I need a Glibc
toolchain because it is the most complete and the de facto standard C
Library in the Linux World.

I've tried to post on CLFS but nobody game me a working solution. Only
one person tried to answer me and I thank him for that..How can I fix
that error?

sounds like some problem with this bit of code in
$PREFIX/$TARGET/include/bits/stdlib.h

__NTH (wctomb (char *__s, wchar_t __wchar))
{
  /* We would have to include  to get a definition of MB_LEN_MAX.
 But this would only disturb the namespace.  So we define our own
 version here.  */
#define __STDLIB_MB_LEN_MAX16
#if defined MB_LEN_MAX && MB_LEN_MAX != __STDLIB_MB_LEN_MAX
# error "Assumed value of MB_LEN_MAX wrong"

did you pach the sources of GCC using the sed command in the first and
second build of GCC? Can you describe a little more the steps that you do
before reaching the problem? looks like you failed to compile GCC - Pass 1

[lfs-support] Build grub for i386-pc and x86_64-efi on 32bit processor

[Michele Bucca]

Hello Everyone

As I plan to boot my LFS system from a thumb drive I would like to build
grub for both platforms: i386-pc and x86_64-efi

I'm compiling on a 32bit processor and when I try to compile the
platform x86_64-efi
it says that it is not supported on my architecture (i386).

 Can you help me? also, if I don't install libdevmapper can I loop mount
iso files from grub?

Also is there some kind of features that loads usb 2.0 support on grub2
like in the builds of grub4dos from chenall [1]?

Thanks :)

[lfs-support] Cannot build first pass GCC in temporary toolchain

[Michele Bucca]

Hello, I'm trying to build a temporary toolchain using the LFS 8.2
book. I'm not a first time user The only deviation from the book that
I'm doing is that instead of installing inside everything in /tools
I'm installing it inside /mikeos.

the LFS_TGT variable is set to i686-mikeos-linux-gnu
the LFS variable is set to /mnt/lfs

Now I will post the configure commands:

Binutils-2.30

../configure --prefix=/mikeos --target=i686-mikeos-linux-gnu
--with-lib-path=/mikeos/lib --with-sysroot=/mnt/lfs --disable-nls
--disable-werror

GCC 7.3.0 - Pass 1

(GCC was patched using the instructions from the book, replacing
/tools with /mikeos. I'm attaching the patched files.)

../configure --target=i686-mikeos-linux-gnu --prefix=/mikeos
--with-glibc-version=2.11 --with-sysroot=/mnt/lfs --with-newlib
--without-headers --with-local-prefix=/mikeos
--with-native-system-header-dir=/mikeos/include --disable-nls
--disable-shared --disable-multilib --disable-decimal-float
--disable-threads --disable-libatomic --disable-libgomp
--disable-libmpx --disable-libquadmath --disable-libssp
--disable-libvtv --disable-libstdcxx --enable-languages=c,c++

Glibc 2.27

../configure --prefix=/mikeos --host=i686-mikeos-linux-gnu
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-kernel=2.6.32
--with-headers=/mikeos/include libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes
libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes

i686-pc-linux-gnu is the output of $(../scripts/config.guess)

everything builds smoothly but when I try to compile dummy.c using

$LFS_TGT-gcc dummy.c it outputs this error and I can't continue.

/mnt/lfs/mikeos/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-mikeos-linux-gnu/7.3.0/../../../../i686-mikeos-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

the file that it's looking is inside /mikeos/lib

Thanks for the tips, however what I meant for "don't overwrithe
/bin/ln !" was: do not copy the script in /bin/ln, do not overwrite
the actual binary or you will break your  system. Thanks anyway. :)

Now I have another issue that is about cross-compiling. I've posted it
in clfs-support, if someone is subscibed to that mailing list I would
be glad if someone could help me, This would allow me to do something
really cool. I'll give more details when I succed ;)

 In the meantime Thanks to all of you :)

I managed to solve the problem. I misconfigured GCC and Binutils. Now it works.

Note: The wrapper should be used when you run 'make install'
Rename 'ln.s' into 'ln' and put it inside a PATH directory inside your
home, don't overwrithe /bin/ln !

[lfs-support] Install a Toolchain without using hard links

[Michele Bucca]

Hello

Sorry if I post my problem here but no one is responding in lfs-chat.

I would like to install Binutils, GCC and Glibc, however I'm not able
to create any kind of hardlink because I have restrictions over the
sysem that I want to use.

 I've created a script called ln.s so that every time 'ln' is invoked
to create a hard link, a symbolic link is created insted.

I'm following the book to create a temporary system in /tools amd evey
time I run "make install" i rename ln.s to ln so it can do it's dirty
trick

the script content is as follows:

#!/bin/bash
/bin/ln -s "$@"

I ended up with a broken toolchain that cannot compile a simple "int
main(){}" program. Can you help me troubleshoot the problem?

unsure about whether I should expect an USB stick to work with base LFS or
not. When I connect the memory stick the kernel messages report the USB
device and recognize manufacturer etc., but I don't see a corresponding
node created in /dev. My kernel is compiled with USB support and
DOS/FAT/NTFS filesystems as modules. Admittedly I'm not entirely sure how
udev is supposed to work. The rules syntax suggest that the kernel already
provides something like "sdb" and the udev rules can work with that. I've
grabbed a similar-looking rule from an Ubuntu wiki but it did not work as I
hoped. Can someone please give me some hints and pointers what I should do
next? Is this a debugging-something problem or an installing-something
problem? Thanks ;) Tschau...Thomas

Be sure to include even usb 3.0 drivers if you have those ports..otherwise
you will get a kernel panic if you try to boot from usb

Re: [lfs-support] Kernel Panic Booting From USB Hard Drive

rebooted my computer. I am currently getting a kernel panic when the kernel
is booting. According to the messages on the screen (which I can try and
transcribe if anyone needs them), it looks like the kernel cannot locate my
‘/’ partition on the USB hard disk, and tells me that I need to correct my
‘root=’ line in the bootloader configuration to one of the partitions on
the internal HD. It seems like the kernel is not detecting the USB disk at
all.

You need to enable built-in support for USB 3.0 in the kernel to load the
system. You could also use a initial ramdisk but that for me is a hassle.
It's better to have it built in. Make defconfig does not enable usb 3.0 by
default. This is based on my personal experience playing with source made
distros made by me before I started to follow LFS.

init=/bin/bash is *insecure* because it lets you access to the system with

I think that it is created by it. the kernel launches /sbin/init by default

the command sets some variables when inside the chroot. Yes these
directories are empty but when you will install the final system the sysyem
will use the programs installed in the final proper location instead of
those put inside /tools (as you can see /tools/bin is the last put inside
the PATH variable)

Ok, is there a way to stop the compile process and resume it later, eg the
next day? I can't leave my laptop on for 8 hours

waiting 79 SBU to let gcc compile is a little too much for me. i plan to do
multiple builds of LFS. i want to experiment with the book.

[lfs-support] [OT] Post questions that do not rely completely on the book

[Michele Bucca]

I was wondering where i could ask some questions that are not covered in
lfs or blfs. for example:

- suggestions to improve the toolchain (adding a text editor and less can
really savs lifes if you want to read the logs, edit a simple script with a
typo that was created with cat > file.txt << "EOF"

- how to make a livecd with LFS? (found a hint on the website)

and here's my question. is there a way to build a LFS system using busybox,
e2fs-utils, glibc instead of the full blown standard linux utilities? I
would like to build a sort of clone of tinycorelinux for the sake of
learning after I finish my LFS.

http://tinycorelinux.net/

I could manage to build the cli system on my own. I already did it once, I
connected it to the Internet and sent a ping to google. But how do I get a
vesa Xserver with a WM running? How do I install a gcc toolchain to compile
new software?

If there was a way to download all the hints at one and pack them into a
tarball

script for that

is it good?

P.S Sorry if I'm sendind a lot of these e-mails that may sound of no
point, this is my first build...the second actually..during my first I
stopped in the middle of the process of creating the toolchain. It
just took too long (about 8 hours for toolchain's GCC).

[lfs-support] doubts on Adjusting the toolchain (Chapter 6.10)

[Michele Bucca]

I've just finished to adjoust the toolchain. Now I am running the
tests to ensure "that the basic functions (compiling and linking) of
the adjusted toolchain are working as expected"

when I give the command

grep -o '/usr/lib.*/crt[lin].*succeeded' dummy.log

only these two pop up:

  /usr/lib/crti.o succeeded
  /usr/lib/crtn.o succeeded

Next, when I run:

grep 'SEARCH.*/usr/lib' dummy.log |sed 's|; |\n|g'

I get:

  SEARCH_DIR("=/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib32")
  SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib")
  SEARCH_DIR("/lib")
  SEARCH_DIR("=/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib");

Is the output above fine?

I'm uploading the  following files:

dummy.log
/tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/6.2.0/specs
