tcl8.4.16 build error with SVN-20080213

Hi,

I'm building the CLFS for a x86_64 target on a native x86_64 system
with Fedora 6 installed.

I'm have a build error on tcl8.4.16. The error messages are as
follows. BTW, I'm using the chroot path.

For quick reference, here are the values of said three variables in
config.cache. I don't know if they are the same as you suggested.

ac_cv_func_strtod=${ac_cv_func_strtod=yes}
tcl_cv_strtod_buggy=${tcl_cv_strtod_buggy=buggy}
tcl_cv_strtod_unbroken=${tcl_cv_strtod_unbroken=broken}

Your trick fixed the problem. I successfully compiled and installed tcl.

-Shawn.

expect-5.43.0 cannot be cross compiled? svn-20080213

Hi,

I stumbled again in the process of building CLFS SVN-20080213. Now
it's expect-5.43.0. The configure command returns error. Below are the
command I executed following the instructions. BTW, I'm following the
chroot path.

sed -i '/EXP_LIB_SPEC=/s <at> ${exec_prefix}/lib <at> ${libdir} <at> ' configure
patch -Np1 -i /sources/expect-5.43.0-spawn-2.patch
./configure --prefix=/tools --with-tcl=/tools/lib \
>     --with-tclinclude=/tools/include
configuring Expect 5.43.0
checking for autoconf... no
checking configure up to date... yes
checking host system type... Invalid configuration
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized

checking target system type... Invalid configuration
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized

checking build system type... Invalid configuration
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized

.......
configure: error: Expect can't be cross compiled

This makes me wondering if I did something wrong when building the
compiler and glibc or when setting up the bash environment. Any
suggestions?

x86_64-64: Problems with gawk (sprintf)

Hello,

I am currently experiencing problems with gawk when building a current
clfs x86_64-64 starting with a i686-unknown-linux-gnu system.

After chrooting/booting, gawk does not work as expected and causes
problems with installing Perl.  If I manually configure Perl, the next
thing that fails is building glibc, but I did not examine if that is
also gawk related.

Where gawk fails is something like:

echo 5 | gawk '{printf "%d\n", $1}'

It prints "0" instead of "5" and that causes Perl's Configure script not
to be able determine the version.

I just want to report about that problem that I am currently trying to
track down in the hope, someone already has a solution or useful hints
where to search for the problem.

Because Perl's Configure script also reports about non-working sprintf,
this is the direction where I will try to track down the problem.

Dirk

Hi Gabriele,

I can confirm that the symptoms here are the same.

I am building the basic tools on an LFS with an Athlon XP 3200+
processor, chrooting or booting (I tried both) is done on a System with
two Opteron 246 processors.

> Apologies for the length of the post: hope to be of any use.

Thanks a lot for your post.  I will try to understand more details of
the problem.  Currently I am trying to build a CLFS 1.0.0, because I
want to know if that works.

Dirk
