Cant configure binutils!

gingernate · 08-19-2012, 01:27 AM

LFS v7.1
5.4.1. Installation of Cross Binutils

i am unable to mkdir mkdir -v ../binutils-build.

lfs@ubuntu:~$ mkdir -v ..binutils-build
Command 'mkdir' is available in '/bin/mkdir'
The command could not be located because '/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
mkdir: command not found
lfs@ubuntu:~$

I logged in as my regular username and i was able to mkdir, but when i got to configure binutils i get this;

nathan@ubuntu:~$ ../binutils-2.22.tar.bz2/configure --target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools disable-nls --disable-werror
bash: ../binutils-2.22.tar.bz2/configure: No such file or directory

What the heck am i doing wrong? Something else to note that when i sign in as lfs i get this message;

nathan@ubuntu:~$ su - lfs
Password:
No command 'unmask' found, did you mean:
Command 'unmass' from package 'unmass' (universe)
unmask: command not found
lfs@ubuntu:~$

Any help would be great.

Hi

I think you have made a mistake somewhere earlier, Did you complete the earlier setions as root of the host. Up to where you su to lfs? maybe chapter 4.4 is not correct. I would go back and start again.

Also post the output of version-check

gingernate · 08-19-2012, 02:22 AM

ok i have gone back and started over and here may be the problem. I guess for some reason it says /dev/sda3 does not exist? it does i have double checked with gparted

Also what is the command for version-check?

nathan@ubuntu:~$ sudo debugfs -R feature /dev/sda3
[sudo] password for nathan:
debugfs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)
Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file
nathan@ubuntu:~$ cd /tmp
nathan@ubuntu:/tmp$ tar -cd
tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' or `--test-label' option
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
nathan@ubuntu:/tmp$ cd
nathan@ubuntu:~$ export LFS=/mnt/lfs
nathan@ubuntu:~$ mkdir -pv $LFS
nathan@ubuntu:~$ mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<sda3> $LFS
bash: sda3: No such file or directory
nathan@ubuntu:~$

Hi

Have a read here

Run the script make sure your host is compliant to build with.

Quote:

mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<sda3> $LFS

you dont need < > around sda3.

gingernate · 08-19-2012, 02:41 AM

Ok thanks thats helpful. I think i had <> around sda3. And i was reading that link you sent me and i have toinstall all those packages on my system? i thought i just had to download the files. If thats the case i feel like an idiot! haha

ok so here is another problem that i have encountered as i continue. its listed under "4.4. Setting Up the Environment"

lfs@ubuntu:~$ cat > ~/.bash_profile <<"EOF"
> exec env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' /bin/bash
> EOF
Command 'cat' is available in '/bin/cat'
The command could not be located because '/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
cat: command not found

spiky0011 · 08-19-2012, 02:52 AM

Hi

Did you issue all the commands upto chapter 4.4 as root?

can you post the output of the version-check as well

gingernate · 08-19-2012, 02:54 AM

Yes i did do all commands a root and how do i do version-check?

spiky0011 · 08-19-2012, 03:11 AM

Hi

copy and paste the script into host make it executable then run the script, make sure it,s in your path

gingernate · 08-19-2012, 03:15 AM

Im really sorry for being such a newbie. Although i know what all that means idk how to do it. if you could post commands that would be great. If youre asking what distro im its ubuntu 12.04. and again thanks for being so helpful and sorry for being a newbie

gingernate · 08-19-2012, 03:23 AM

maybe this is what youre looking for?

Run

Code:

chmod +x version-check.sh

to make it executeable.
Put file in /bin

then run script from terminal

Awesome...... thanks so much! I had a few less error message that time! but there is still a problem.

Is this a typo

Quote:

lfs@ubuntu:~$ mkdir -v ..binutils-build

should be lfs@ubuntu:~$ mkdir -v ../binutils-build

and

Quote:

should be No command 'umask' found, did you mean:

post .bashrc file
