I am trying to build a 64-bit lfs-7.4 system using a host system based on Slackware-14. Currently I am having a problem with the first pass of building gcc. During the internal build of libmpc, a search is made for /usr/lib64/libgmp.la. It is not found, so the build crashes.

In the first, I used two additional configuration parameters in the hope that they would tell the compiler the correct place to look for information on gmp: --with_gmp_include=$(pwd)/gmp and --with_gmp_lib=$(pwd)/gmp/.libs. But this did not have any effect on the error. For the second try, I simply put a symbolic link into /usr/lib64 pointing to /mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gmp/.libs/libgmp.la. Then the build was successful. I have not installed this build because it was not done "by the book" and I am afraid of polluting my tool chain. Can someone please tell me: 1) If it is safe to install it? 2) Why the error occurred, given that the configuration options and global edits set out in the book should prevent this kind of back-reference to the host system? 3) What would be the proper way to correct an error like this? My way feels rather kludgy. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
