Heyo all, I've recently been working on a small side project regarding a custom Linux distro, not with the LFS instructions. Currently, I'm compiling a cross-compiler for gcc. Anyways, I get this error when I make:

configure: error: libmpfr not found or uses a different ABI (including static vs shared).
Makefile:5730: recipe for target 'configure-mpc' failed
make: *** [configure-mpc] Error 1

UPDATE: I installed mpfr via apt on that machine, which now gives me a slightly different error:

checking for recent MPFR... no
configure: error: MPFR version >= 4.1.0 required
Makefile:5730: recipe for target 'configure-mpc' failed
make: *** [configure-mpc] Error 1
handy/install: line 276: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found

Strange thing is, the mpfr tarball that it should be using is 4.1.0... I don't think the apt package is >= 4.1.0, and not sure how to throw it up to 4.1.0. You can find my script [here](https://github.com/semissioncontrol/semcOS/blob/development/handy/install) , Static GCC starts at [Line 239](https://github.com/semissioncontrol/semcOS/blob/development/handy/install#L239) . I've done some research, but can't seem to find much. I *was* able to find someone mention that switching distros worked, and then that it was their MPFR version that wasn't working. This one is compiling on Ubuntu WSL @ Windows because my laptop is faster - if needed, I'll be compiling this on my PC @ Gentoo soon. My MPFR version is 4.1.0, GCC version 10.2.0. Why is this happening? Cheers, Bobbbay

i have created linux from scratch which has / in /sdb2 and /boot in /sdb1 and swap in /sdb3 , now i want to create a iso , how do i do it? size of 1. / = 25 GB 2. /boot = 100 MB 3. /swap = 2 GB

I am using the latest stable Linux from Scratch book version. In [Step 5.5.1](https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/glibc.html) , when configuring Glibc I run the provided script, and receive an error telling me to use the --with-headers configure option, however I am already using it. The book states to configure using:

../configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --host=$LFS_TGT \ --build=$(../scripts/config.guess) \ --enable-kernel=3.2 \ --with-headers=$LFS/usr/include \ libc_cv_slibdir=/lib

When doing so I receive the following error:

checking installed Linux kernel header files... missing or too old!
configure: error: GNU libc requires kernel header files from
Linux 3.2.0 or later to be installed before configuring.
The kernel header files are found usually in /usr/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux; make sure these directories use files from
Linux 3.2.0 or later.  This check uses , so
make sure that file was built correctly when installing the kernel header
files.  To use kernel headers not from /usr/include/linux, use the
configure option --with-headers.

Any advise on how to proceed would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to build the Xorg X Window System Environment as outlined in Beyond Linux From Scratch Version 8.0. My BLFS system resides in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox Version 5.0.10 r104061.

How to continue compilation?

I’ve built a Linux from Scratch (LFS) instance. It is based on version 10 of LFS, it is SystemV based. I’ve been working on getting XWindows working. When I run the xinit or startx, XWindows displays without problem. The items that are defined in my .xinitrc display on the monitor. I have the twm Window manager installed and it is called/started from within .xinitrc. My problem is getting my mouse and keyboard working with XWindows. The cursor is visible in the dead center of the screen but doesn’t move as I move the mouse. I’m using a Logitech mouse and keyboard that are USB based and connected to the computer via a cable. I uploaded a few screenshots of my config file, log info to provide some details, please help if you have an idea why this issue exists.

If I follow the Linux From Scratch (LFS) manual, how do I go about setting up my own graphical user interface, that is, the "desktop environment"? I'd like to do it by using an HTML solution such as the [Sciter engine](https://sciter.com/) . But I have the following questions: - After setting up LFS, how do I link my own desktop environment (e.g. Sciter Hello World )? - If I can really use Sciter to build my desktop environment, then how can I customise the window manager details (icons, font, appearance of buttons, checkboxes etc.)? I was pretending to use HTML because it supports rich graphics and easing transitions out of the box. I need an own desktop environment because: - I need both windowed and Metro fullscreen apps. - A fullscreen start menu as in Metro. - I need touch gestures around the screen, such as for the "system status" (what time is it, battery etc.), pushing background apps, pushing current app, and splitting screen (and, for Metro fullscreen apps, showing the minimize-maximize-close chrome).

There's a handful of programs like GCC that not only require two different passes when setting up LFS, but as is the case with GCC, it is also used for Libstdc++. When going thru this setting up for LFS, what is expected me of to do? The directions are somewhat vague on whether I should extract the source tar file into a different named folder for each pass, or if I should create a separate build folder inside the source folder for each pass (like "build", "build2")? Also what would happen if I used the same build directory that was used in the original pass 1 but obviously configured differently for the second pass? Would there be any conflicts?

I'm trying to add apt-get package manager to LFS (LINUX FROM SCRATCH) system. I have found a solution explaining how to 'compile apt-get and dpkg ' for LFS. But it's very old and unusable. I searched for apt-get source code and found it on debian.org . It is Debian version of apt. I have downloaded apt-0.8.10.3.deb package and extracted its contents to the root directory of LFS. When my LFS system boots up and I type apt-get, this error is shown: E: Unable to determine a suitable packaging system type. 1. How can I add apt-get to LFS and get it working? 2. What does the above error mean?

I am trying to build linux from scratch (LFS) as an educational project using the main LFS book version 12.1 , however, whene i reach the bottable chapter, i found that i have to boot my LFS using EFI support because my main machine is macbook pro 2014, so i follwo the BLFS guide Using GRUB to Set Up the Boot Process with UEFI , and https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/12.1/postlfs/grub-efi.html ; whene i re-boot the machine i get > error disk 'hd0,2' not found I fix it by using > set root=(hd1,gpt4) The next problem is > /boot/vmlinuz-6.7.4-lfs-12.1 not found i checked my boot file and found the file name exists under differnt name **/boot/vmlinuz-6.7.4-lfs-12.1-systemd** so i rename it to **/boot/vmlinuz-6.7.4-lfs-12.1**. No whene i am booting again i get a black screen after selecting the lfs system from booting menu . attached files > **fdisk -l /dev/sda outputs** Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 40 409639 409600 200M EFI System /dev/sda2 411648 17807359 17395712 8.3G Linux swap /dev/sda3 488847608 490117143 1269536 619.9M Apple boot /dev/sda4 19855360 81295359 61440000 29.3G Linux filesystem linux kernel configuration file grub.cfg file any help!

When i fellow the command of the lfs book 12.1 i chapter 5 to compile gcc 13.2.0 , i got the error.

And i also link the /usr/include of lfs root path to the host system /usr/include , and i could find the missing file in /usr/include/ of lfs root path. Is there is something need to be set? Thanks for help.

I have made LFS.  But unfortunately, when I installed GRUB, I got an error that said ext2 system isn’t supported.  But I added --force into grub-install --force /dev/sda and it installed, so I tried rebooting, and it automatically puts me into GRUB rescue shell.  Is there any way to repair it, or do I have to compile everything again? I tried finding a kernel from the GRUB shell to load it, but I can’t really find anything.  And, when doing ls (hd0,gpt1), I don’t see any files or directories.

I'm currently building Linux From Scratch 12.1 with the book, I've followed the instructions line by line. I'm struggling with the GCC testsuite, I have lots of FAIL and timeout. In addition to that, I'm running a Lubuntu VM with an LFS.vdi where I'm building LFS, during the test it is being filled to the point where the tests can't continue. My VM runs lubuntu 64bit with 4proc and 10Gb RAM. I have a 30Go drive dedicated to LFS. I've tried this for the "not enough space" problem but it didn't work: https://superuser.com/questions/529149/how-to-compact-virtualboxs-vdi-file-size I don't really know where to look, any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can access some helpful logs, let me know. Thanks in advance

Trying to execute the source command using "lfs" user on ubuntu 14.04 and getting this: root@linux:~/lfs# su lfs - -c "source ~/.bash_profile" bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell Any ideas? Background info: I am following the LFS book, making a script out of it, so in my script which I execute with sudo, when it gets to this part, after creating the lfs user and his .bashrc and .bashprofile, I guess it is loading it. #Context: echo "info: create 'lfs' group and user..." groupadd -f lfs id -u lfs &>/dev/null || useradd -s /bin/bash -g lfs -m -k /dev/null lfs passwd -d -q lfs echo "info: make 'lfs' own the 'tools' and 'sources' directories..." chown lfs $LFS/tools chown lfs $LFS/sources echo "info: creating a clean '.bash_profile' as user 'lfs'..." su lfs - -c "cat > ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc << \"EOF\" set +h umask 022 LFS=/mnt/lfs LC_ALL=POSIX LFS_TGT=$(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin export LFS LC_ALL LFS_TGT PATH EOF" su lfs - -c "source ~/.bash_profile" #Edit: It has been suggested that my syntax is incorrect, I am not at my linux machine at the moment, so will try to use different syntax when I get the chance. However, for info, I got the syntax from the answer here: https://serverfault.com/questions/411307/cannot-set-terminal-process-group-during-su-to-another-user-as-login-shell

Git LFS doesn't work anymore with Yocto: git doesn't fetch "large files" since we upgraded our tools to these versions: Yocto kirkstone gitlab 16.7.3 and gitlab 16.8 git version 2.34.1 git-lfs/3.0.2 (GitHub; linux amd64; go 1.18.1) Kubuntu 22.04: Linux linux-dev 5.15.0-91-generic #101-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 14 13:30:08 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux When I execute the Yocto command "**bitbake tep2020ihm**", I get multiple "**Smudge**" errors, like that one: ERROR: tep2020ihm-1.22-r0 do_unpack: Bitbake Fetcher Error: FetchError( ) failed with exit code 128, output:\nDownloading 3rd-party/aghaf/lib/aghaf.dll (6.6 MB)\nError downloading object: 3rd-party/aghaf/lib/aghaf.dll (1d6198d): Smudge error: Error downloading 3rd-party/aghaf/lib/aghaf.dll When I'm cloning the project manually (to another directory on the dev server, by typing manually the command "**git clone https://...** ", it works, including the large files.

I have tried to create a Linux distribution with the Linux From Scratch (LFS) website. Everything went good until step **5.7. Glibc-2.19 **, but when I tried: $LFS_TGT-gcc dummy.c I get: /tools/lib/gcc/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/4.8.2/../../../../i686-lfs-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory /tools/lib/gcc/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/4.8.2/../../../../i686-lfs-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory So I googled it for a while, and I realize that Debian changed some directory, and I searched for those files and I found them in: /usr/libx32/ I realize from those searches that it happen with trying to compile 64 bit in 32 bit structures, and I should create virtual link of theme in: /tools/lib/gcc/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/4.8.2/ But when I did that I got: /tools/lib/gcc/i686-lfs-linux-gnu/4.8.2/crt1.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized In this step I really don't know what to do next. How can I fix it?

I have been building a Linux From Scratch system and I have installed the Links web browser on it, which I am running in graphical mode via DirectFB (I have not yet installed the X Window System). I am wondering if there is a way that I can copy text from a Links webpage running in one tty, to a console (Bash) running in another tty? I know text can be copied between two ttys with GPM; however, I can't find a way to do it from Links. In text mode, I seem to be unable to highlight text with the cursor; in graphical mode, I can highlight text, but it doesn't copy to the console with the middle mouse button, like it does in GPM. It would be very helpful for building further LFS packages, if I could copy-paste text from a web browser to the console.

For some background, everything related to LFS has worked so far. After make-installing glibc, I ran these commands to sanity check:

echo 'int main(){}' | $LFS_TGT-gcc -xc -
readelf -l a.out | grep ld-linux

After doing the first one, I got this error: */mnt/lfs/tools/lib/gcc/x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 inside /mnt/lfs collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status* It shouldn't output this. I checked lib64 and ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is a symbolic link to /**lib**/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. In the /lib/ directory, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 doesn't exist. So basically, ld-linux doesn't exist for some reason. I am the LFS user and I'm running each command correctly. The $LFS variable is set. What could be going on here?

I am on chapter 5 of LFS. I am trying to compile LibSTDC. After cd'ing into the build directory I created and running:

../libstdc++-v3/configure \
--host=$LFS_TGT \
--build=$(../config.guess) \
--prefix=/usr \
--disable-multilib \
--disable-nls \
--disable-libstdcxx-pch \
--with-gxx-include-dir=/tools/$LFS_TGT/include/c++/13.2.0

I get:

checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no
checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

I ignored these errors and proceeded to run "make" I got this after running make:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Using ls, there is no makefile or anything else. Just a "config.log" file. Which has many lines. Here are the last 25:

target='x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu'
target_alias='x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu'
target_cpu='x86_64'
target_os='linux-gnu'

configure: exit 1

Cd-ing into the previous directory "gcc-13.2.0" and running make yields the same error. Running "configure" yields this error:

configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 3.1.0+ and MPC 0.8.0+.
Try the --with-gmp, --with-mpfr and/or --with-mpc options to specify
their locations.  Source code for these libraries can be found at
their respective hosting sites as well as at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/ .  See also
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html  for additional info.  If
you obtained GMP, MPFR and/or MPC from a vendor distribution package,
make sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header
files.  They may be located in separate packages.

I am the LFS user and the $LFS variable is set. Any ideas as to what this could be are appreciated. Thank you!
