This is what I was saying in my other post. :) So, to sum up, we have two problems: 1. m4 in chapter five doesn't link against /tools 2. m4 in chapter six is built to late to avoid hard-coded paths to /tools/bin/m4 showing up in autotools scripts. I personally think that we can trust the host system to have a working m4 for the first pass of gcc, so we can just move the order in chapter 5 so that m4 is built after gcc/binutils pass2. Chapter 6 should be easy enough, just move m4 up to before autofoo. If no one beats me to this, I'll add this in, along with a pre-req for m4 on the host. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
