LFS problems

iconicmoronic · 07-29-2008, 01:40 AM

i'm trying out LFS and i'm disappointed that i was unable to get past the first requisite without an error, can someone help me configure what this means after running this sequence:

cd /tmp
tar zxvf e2fsprogs-1.40.2
cd e2fsprogs-1.40.2
mkdir -v build
cd build
../configure

and i got the error remark..

root@home-desktop:/tmp/e2fsprogs-1.40.2/build# mk dir /usr/bin/ld
-bash: mk: command not found
root@home-desktop:/tmp/e2fsprogs-1.40.2/build# mkdir /usr/bin/ld
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/bin/ld': File exists
root@home-desktop:/tmp/e2fsprogs-1.40.2/build# ../configure

the config.log file shows this:

Could you tell us the page of the book? Since it's a free document, being able to see the page number may help.

The key line as far as I can determine would be:
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory

equery (a nice command on Gentoo systems) tells me crt1.o belongs to the glibc package (which is called libc6 on *buntus and probably most other Debian-based systems). Here are some packages you should make sure are installed on your system (if this error is happening from an Ubuntu system):

libc6
libc6-dev
gcc

If you search for gcc, you'll get sdf list with gcc, gcc-3.3, gcc-3.3-base, gcc-4.1, gcc-4.1-base, etc. The one that's only "gcc" should be installed and at least one pair of "gcc-m.n" and "gcc-m.n-base" (where m and n are the major and minor version numbers) are installed. You can have multiple gcc versions installed, although typically it's only expected to happen on developer installs.

crt1.o is the file that sets up and saves the registers when a main routine calls a subroutine. So when the subroutine finishes, it knows how to unwind the stack and get back to the main.

The gcc development system is not installed.

Here is the "objdump" of crt1.o:
0000000000000000 <_start>:
0: 31 ed xor %ebp,%ebp
2: 49 89 d1 mov %rdx,%r9
5: 5e pop %rsi
6: 48 89 e2 mov %rsp,%rdx
9: 48 83 e4 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
d: 50 push %rax
e: 54 push %rsp
f: 49 c7 c0 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%r8
16: 48 c7 c1 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rcx
1d: 48 c7 c7 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rdi
24: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 29 <_start+0x29>
29: f4 hlt
2a: 90 nop
2b: 90 nop

This is probably more that you every wanted to know.

This is probably more that you every wanted to know and is for a 64 bit machine
