All is good now with the rc1 md5sum file. Thanks. I went ahead with the
build anyway firstly because I won't need that tarball until later tonight,
and secondly because I figured whatever was the matter it wouldn't be a big
deal. Thanks

[lfs-dev] Some minor text tidying for v7.4-rc1

2013-08-19 Thread Arthur Radley
A few things the book says are installed by some of the packages, but I
cannot find them installed on my system (or I found information about these
no longer being installed)...

GLIBC...

 pt_chown (already mentioned in a recent blfs-dev thread)

GCC...

 gccbug (no information, but I can't find this)

UTIL-LINUX...

 tunelp (deprecated & removed 2012-12-19,
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/log/?qt=grep&q=tunelp)

 x86_64 (no information, but I can't find a script or binary named this)

AUTOMAKE...

 elisp-comp (deleted 2012-08-05 according to the Changelog)

 symlink-tree (??? Was sync'd from GCC SVN repo but not since 2012-01-21
according to the Changelog. Anyway, I don't have it.)

KMOD...

 kmod-nolib (no information, but I can't find this)

LFS-BOOTSCRIPTS...

 mountkernfs (renamed to mountvirtfs in 2011)

 static (renamed to ipv4-static in 2004)

Speaking of libraries... FWIW (maybe nothing), I forgot to mention
originally that I also searched my 7.4-rc1 system for every library file
mentioned in the book and found them all (including the four referenced
above by Ragnar). I didn't try to discover installed libraries not mentioned
in the book. Anyway, maybe it's worth reporting that the libraries that are
listed in the book are accurate.

Arthur

P.S.: I also had no issues with any of the steps in the rc1 book.

[lfs-dev] Some LFS v7.5-rc1 feedback

2014-02-18 Thread Arthur Radley
Everything went smoothly. I only wanted to mention one new thing that
happened and one old thing. 

The new thing: In section 6.17. GCC-4.8.2 when verifying that the new linker
is being used with the correct search paths, the result had some extra lines
for /lib32 which I haven't seen before and which are not in the book's
example...

bash-4.2# grep 'SEARCH.*/usr/lib' dummy.log |sed 's|; |\n|g'
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib");

And the old thing: Again this time I had that single unexpected test failure
for GCC regarding asan_test.C which your test logs don't have. I reported
that also for LFS v7.4, but I went on to build my usual BLFS system and used
it since then with no problems. The asan_test.C failure is apparently a
recent known issue even though the LFS build-logs still don't show it
(http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55577)...

=== g++ Summary ===

# of expected passes53365
# of unexpected failures1
# of expected failures  290
# of unsupported tests  647

/sources/gcc-build/gcc/testsuite/g++/../../xg++  version 4.8.2 (GCC)

Anyway, all this is just FYI. Thanks again for all your effort to make this
terrific OS available to us, the 1% of the 1%.

No lib32 folder was ever created anywhere in the 7.5-rc1 system being built
when that GCC check result was observed.

[lfs-dev] LFS 7.5-rc1 6.2.3. Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems

2014-02-20 Thread Arthur Radley
LFS 7.5-rc1 6.2.3. Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems

Re: mkdir -pv $LFS/$(readlink $LFS/dev/shm)

If the host's /dev/shm is a symbolic link to /run/shm, then "readlink
$LFS/dev/shm" will output "/run/shm". mkdir apparently ignores the extra
forward slash and creates the directory, but the verbose output of mkdir
will be "/mnt/lfs//run/shm" which looks wrong to anyone reading the verbose
output (me).

It's trivial. Anyway. 

P.S.: All the other instances of readlink in the book produce
"../" and don't do this.
