I haven't tried that in several years. Are you using a 32-bit kernel? I did try this: $ ABI=32 ./configure And got: ... checking ABI=32 checking compiler gcc -m32 -O2 -pedantic -fomit-frame-pointer ... no ... checking compiler gcc -O2 -pedantic -fomit-frame-pointer has sizeof(long)==4... no checking compiler cc -O2 -pedantic -fomit-frame-pointer ... yes checking compiler cc -O2 -pedantic -fomit-frame-pointer has sizeof(long)==4... no configure: error: could not find a working compiler, see config.log for details That's not surprising though. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
