[lfs-support] chapter 6, glibc compile error

[Frans de Boer]

LS,

Below is a repeated piece of information, now being brought as a
separate issue from systemd.

I get the following error when i try to compile glibc in chapter 6:
...
bison --yacc --name-prefix=__gettext --output
/sources-lfs/glibc-2.27/glibc-build/intl/plural.c plural.y
bison: m4 subprocess failed: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [Makefile:46:
/sources-lfs/glibc-2.27/glibc-build/intl/plural.c] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/sources-lfs/glibc-2.27/intl'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:215: intl/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources-lfs/glibc-2.27'
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2

If I include 'ln -sfv /tools/bin/m4 /usr/bin' as suggested some time
ago, I can compile glibc. In an effort to understand why systemd crashes
and having a message that there is a segfault in glibc while booting, i
tried to recompile all again. Now I can't even compile glibc.

Is this a result of some modification in the tool chain, or is the
documentation not up to date?

Regards,
Frans.

I don't think the documentation is out of date. My last running
system is from 15th June, although I built as far as the end of
chroot from the 26th June book to look at a possible perl issue.
And both were sysv.

This is an unusual problem. I think your version of m4 in /tools is
linked to *host* libc and ld-linux. By copying the prog into chroot
it can now find libc and the loader,

I suggest that, outside chroot, you run ldd on /tools/bin/m4. If I
am right, also check the links for an executable (prog, or lib, or
libexec) from every other package in chapter 5 after pass 2 gcc.

Some of the tools progs appear to be ok, maybe only m4 was wrong,
perhaps you built in stages and resumed without one of the envvars
set correctly, e.g. PATH ?

I build the toolchain first, - without interruption - and after that I
started with chapter 6.
Within chroot, m4 can be found and executed.
After starting chapter 6 up to and including the creation of links in
lib64 - prior to running configure for glibc - the result of ldd
/tools.bin/m4 is:
  linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff2bcca000)
  libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb4fd3c7000)
  /tools/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(0x00007fb4fd781000)

where ld-linux-x86_64.so.2 links to /lib.
Note that /lib64/libc.so.6 does not exist. I think that should be
/tools/lib64/libc.so.6?

I did not modified anything and any other program did worked before, so
I wait a little to check all other programs after gcc-2.

BTW: making the link /lib64/ldc.so.6 -> /tools/lib64/libc.so.6 is also
no solution.

You need to build m4 before bison in chapter 5. Ensure you're building
in the same order as the current book(s).

Thnx Armin,

I did not noticed that the build sequence was altered. Your remark was
on the mark.
Now I can continue with the systemd question :)
