Should we have a "wish me luck" thread?

Huh? When I did my LFS, I don’t remember there being such a file anywhere. If it contains passwords or keys, I’d suggest contacting the maintainers of LFS.

EDIT: then again, git didn’t exist at the time.

This is what I get when I do a search for “LFS source code”!!!

sorry, can’t help with that. I’m trying to get the LFS first :smiley: I’m now trying to compile gcc to another computer. It has AMD chip, only 4 cores so it will take appr. 45minutes to get to the point where my i5 machine stopped.. I’m ssh:ing to that computer from my laptop.

a quick update… I’m on 6.18 where’s the gcc rebuild.. maybe I’ll get this to work!

I had some issues with the build when using PopOS. Now booting from Gentoo livecd and all is going well.

I got this same error when compiling gcc-14.2.0. Did you have any luck with this?

I have not continued with the LFS project. I got it compiled (the GCC) and my next stop would be chapter 9. I didn’t get all the packages compiled on chapter 8. I can’t remember which ones because I’m at the office but they weren’t critical at that point so I just continued (2 packages IIRC). It is a boring job to install all packages on chapter 8 so I decided to take a break with the LFS.

I had problems with GCC when I used PopOS but with Gentoo live usb it worked. Maybe you should also try with it? Downloads – Gentoo Linux

It seems like I have some issue with configuration, possibly with compile targets ? I’m not sure. But it’s producing that error anyway. I feel like I’m missing some knowledge about setting targets for GCC. I might swap to something else.

Try Gentoo! You’ll have basic tarball to start with and there’s binary kernel so it’s easier
