[Devil-Linux-discuss] Continous build errors

[KyleJHarper <ky...@ca...>]

I have been experiencing a great deal of trouble getting devil-linux to build
properly.  I am able to get the LFS system going, get the sources and unpack
them, get the config set up, run prepare just fine, but I receive many build
errors.  I have tried several configurations, thinking I messed something
up.  As follows:

--Attempt #1--
Host OS: Ubuntu 8.0.4 (fresh install) on a Virtual Machine (VMWare)
LFS: LFSSystem for DL 1.0 and up
Building Version: 1.2.x
Install location: All default and according to documentation
(/usr/src/lfssystem)
Modifications: Deselected most in config and added sudosh.
Problems: Reached linux-2.4.36.6 build and it failed.  Upon reading the log
in tmp/LOGS/build/linux it was having some trouble finding the
/etc/lilo/install file/folder.  

--Attempt #2--
Same as Attempt #1 except I didn't change anything in the config (I did
enter config though, to create the config file with defaults).  Also I did
not add sudosh.  I just followed the instructions verbatim.
Problems: Reached linux-2.4.36.6 build and it failed.  Reading log again
showed an error with /etc/lilo/install file/folder.

--Attempt #3--
Same thing as Attempt #2 except I used a REAL system, not a VM.  Followed
the steps verbatim.
Problems: Reached postgresql build and it failed (error log showed "No rule
to make target utf8_and_euc_jis_2004.0, needed by
'libutf8_and_euc_jis_2004.so.0.0").  Manually ran the configure and make
(inside the chroot environment) and it build successfully.  I added the
.done_build_postgresql and continued on.  Then I reached linux-2.4.36.6 and
received a plethora of errors about being unable to find a function (if I
remember correctly) called __guard and __stack_smasher.

--Attemp #4--
Thinking the problem could be with Ubuntu I switched to Mandriva (fresh
install).  Followed all steps verbatim again.
Problems: Reached postgresql build with errors again (same error message as
in attempt #3).

Please note that on attempt #1 and #2 I tried wiping out the LFS system,
running mrproper, and getting sources and preparing again.  No luck.  Also,
I checked for things like Pax and GRSecurity and couldn't find any
indication of them (since your site said you can't compile devil with those
on the host OS).

I've ready several forums where the problem has been user-side and after a
quick change everything runs great.  From looking at the system for many
many hours I believe it is very user friendly.  So I might just be a tool
here, but any advice on what to try would be greatly appreciated!

If you need any more information just let me know.  I've tried to include as
much as I can recall.  If you need me to use another host OS or whatever I
have both virtual (VMWare) and physical (good ole fashioned HD) systems
available.

Sincerely,
Kyle Harper
