Glib 2.61.2 fails to build on LFS 9.0 (can't find libglib-2.0.so.0)
I'm trying to build glib without documentation on LFS 9.0 in chroot. I have libxslt 1.1.33, PCRE 8.42, and dbus 1.12.12, which should be enough dependencies to build without running tests yet. The host system is Ubuntu 18.04.
Here's the full log with the command and results:

libglib-2.0.so.0 does exist (as a symlink, and the same thing happens if the symlink is removed and the destination file is copied to its location) and this issue occurs with 2.58.3 and 2.60.1 as well.
It looks like it might be a problem with libxslt/libxml, but I'm not sure. How can I fix this?
Edit: I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling libxslt, no dice.
My best guess is that you need to run the script to remove trouble-making .la files (Chapt 2 BLFS "About Libtool Archive (.la) files") and try rebuilding glib2. That looks like the kind of error you would get from that.

Unfortunately, that didn't fix it. Ran the script from the book verbatim and the output was good, but rebuilding yields the exact same error. Any other ideas?
I would try to completely remove whatever glib is currently installed (I assume it's broken) and try again. This is where having a package manager is so helpful - glib spews out a lot of files.

I've never installed glib on this build - it's basically fresh, with only ~30 other packages besides the base system. Just to be sure, I ran
Code:
ls -R / | grep glib
, and no files came up that were outside the sources directory (which is only used for building; no programs are installed there).
Perhaps I should just rebuild LFS and try again?

Rep:
Are you really using 2.61.x? If so, why aren't you using the version shown in the book, 2.60.6? The odd numbered versions are development versions for anything that's part of the GNOME ecosystem. There is no telling what custom crap the devs are using with it.

Just went with the latest version. But it's beside the point; like I said, the problem is completely independent of version.
I'm trying to build glib without documentation on LFS 9.0 in chroot. I have libxslt 1.1.33, PCRE 8.42, and dbus 1.12.12, which should be enough dependencies to build without running tests yet. The host system is Ubuntu 18.04.
Hi and welcome to LFS section. I have built this exact pkg for use in gnome 3.33.4 which is a recent beta that runs great. Not a easy thing to do btw. So lets look at this statement above. 1) Building glib2 2.61.2 w/o the book?
Thats a mistake if ya want it to work on BLFS. 2) in a chroot mistake #2 should be booted into the lfs you are installing things onto by this point. 3) You old versions of these deps and a glib2 thats cutting edge dev version. Bad mix. Dev pkgs want latest base pkgs there...always and esp gnome if thats what this is for. 4) you didnt mention why you want a dev version vs the book. What Luridis said is true.
5) Try not to get defensive. the problem you have is due to above and is not about independent of the version. Dont use dev versions of stuff and some generic meson config. Use the book config or look up how the gnome devs build it. Of course it wont build the way you config'ed it.
To repeat this glib2 version is for building specific gnome beta builds which the deps can change sometimes daily.

I actually am using the book. I just changed the version and one configuration option; it's otherwise exactly the same.

Will try that when I get a chance. It's just more convenient to stay in the host system, since there's a UI available, but that could be the cause.

Not for GNOME, it's to build X in the first place for XFCE. I wasn't aware of the version numbering system, so I didn't know the stable/unstable packages are differentiated by even/odd numbers here. I'll build 2.60.6 instead.

It actually is independent of version. Just to reiterate, I ran the exact same commands in the exact same environment on 2.60.6 and 2.58.3. Here is the log for 2.60.6: https://pastebin.com/NQcZUFB8
I don't see why disabling -Dman would make it impossible to build, but if you think my configuration parameters are the reason, I guess I could try them with documentation?
Edit: You were right about chroot, I built it on the real system and it compiled fine. Kicking myself for not thinking of that before. Thanks for the help!
I cant even see your full config so my apologies for even mentioning it. -Dman on or off wasn't the issue as you said. If docbook is built right it wouldnt matter on or off. Some guys build some blfs in chroot. I prefer to not use it for just this kind of error that can happen. Non-chrooted booted environment with the blfs bash scripts makes for a safer more realistic environment. Cheers.
