Just FYI: Seems that the headers_install (and therefore headers_check) command in the kernel source is a now a Perl script. This appears to be new in 2.6.27.x
See here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/8/29 There is a problem, however. The script uses open() but with 3 arguments instead of 2. From what I've found so far, this change in syntax was introduced in perl-5.8.0, so the installation of Linux Headers fails if the host's version of perl is < 5.8.0. I'm investigating possibilities, such as modifying the script to use two parameters, but at least for now, adding a minimal perl to /tools beforehand solves the issue. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
