running LFS post

chapter 5.13

ncurses package unavailable, got it from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-5.6.tar.gz. then came across error in ‘make install’ that looks like:

“tic could not build /tools/share/terminfo”

for the most part. fixed with solution from [Clfs-support] Make install of Ncurses failing.

in chapter 5.20,

make -C gnulib-lib

returns

lfs:/lfs/gettext-0.16.1$ make -C gnulib
make: *** gnulib: No such file or directory. Stop.

… and then i realised i was configuring gettext and not gettext-tools and deleted the folder and unpacked a new copy.

in chapter 6.4,

root:/lfs# chroot “$LFS” /tools/bin/env -i \
> HOME=/root TERM=”$TERM” PS1=’\u:\w\$ ‘ \
> PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
> /tools/bin/bash –login +h
chroot: cannot run command `/tools/bin/env’: No such file or directory

apparently env is missing from the tools’ bin folder. it’s nowhere to be found. i assume it came with bash — i looked for other built-in bash commands such as ‘cd’, which also are not present in /tools/bin.

root:/lfs/tools/bin# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
root:/lfs/tools/bin# PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
root:/lfs/tools/bin# echo $PATH
/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

then realised again that ENV ISNT EVEN THERE GODDAMN WTF WAS I THINKING.

okay, thanks to guidance from http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/toolsbinenv-…does-not-exist-498776/ I have made uninstall and recompiled and installed coreutils, and tried the command again, and wala. I have no name ! :/

googling error. choosing to ignore error and continue with installation. fucking POS test suites.
