Hello, First, I would like to congratulate the LFS team on the 7.0 rc. Good job, people. :-)
I'm working through a build right now. I screwed up on the original build of glibc, but did not notice until running the test listed in section 5.8 of the book. I went back, wiped my glibc build directory, and tried to rebuild from scratch. When I issued 'make', the build entered an infinite loop. It took me a day and a half to realize this. >_< After much digging around, I found a source online that suggested that this would happen if the glibc headers were already present under $PREFIX/include. I moved /tools/include to /tools/include-old, copied the kernel headers back to /tools/include, and now the build seems to be proceeding normally. Obviously, this was caused by a mistake on my part, but it seems like an easy enough mistake to make, and the result is not intuitive to debug. So, can I suggest adding a bullet point to the book addressing this potential trap? William Tracy afishion...@gmail.com Cell phone: (805) 704-0917 Internet phone: (707) 206-6441
