Hi,

I am tyring to build the HLFS version SVN 20080603. Everything was going smoothly until i reached chapter 5.5 Adjusting the Toolchain. The following command is giving me error:
echo 'int main(){return 0;}' > dummy.c
cc dummy.c
./a.out &&
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'

The command echo 'int main(){return 0;}' > dummy.c works well but
cc dummy.c give me the following errors.
/mnt/hlfs/tools/bin../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../
i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I even tried it with gcc but it does not work.


Finally when i execute this command:
./a.out &&
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'

The following message appears. bash: ./a.out: No such file or directory

the command echo $PATH gives me /tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

Can anybody please help.
I've been trying to solve this problem since the past 2 days.
I even tried to start from the beginning but when chapter 5.5 is reached I
got stucked.

kanexxx,

nice one, I've been trying to set my own lfs / hlfs but due to lack of time i cant proceed. You can ask the "experts" at linuxfromscratch.org they probably knows about it.


cheers!

Hi

My problem is over.. Actually I rebuild hlfs from scratch and found that there was an error while compling glibc. It was complaining about a variable RTLD_SINGLE_THREAD_P which was not defined in the /glibc2.5.1/elf/dl-runtime.c file.

Actually I find this strange because when I execute the following command

find . -name '*.h' -exec grep -H RTLD_SINGLE_THREAD_P {} \;

I found thaht this variable was already declared in a header file, but during compilation of glibc it does not find it..
I don't know if this is a bug?!

So finally I have to edit the .c flile manually and define the variable. And then finally glibc compiles correctly.

Now I've reached chapter 6.10.1 where I have to recompile glibc and got the same undefined variable error.
