Re: Issues with host system Debian

    
In my experience, Debian and it's derivatives never had the libraries required, and satisfying all of those dependencies is a challenge. I used Salix to build my LFS and I did not install anything extra. My guess is that Debian isn't configured to build LFS systems.
If I were you, I'd rather stick to Slackware or use Salix, unless you want to use Debian. If you wish to use Debian, install programs like awk, bison, gcc, and development libraries (they may help).
Good luck with building your next LFS!

Subject: [lfs-chat] Issues with host system Debian 



I have successfully built LFS 7.9 twice using Slackware as the host system with a default full-install. I'm currently trying to build 7.9 Systemd. I've been using various versions of Linux off and on for the last 18 years or so, but never too deeply into
 the technical aspects. (Yes, I still use Microshaft too) I'm in my late 50's. I can manage most simple scripting issues, but I'm not a 'programmer'. I started with RH, I've used Mandrake, Debian, Slackware and others just to play with them. I currently have
 Debian (stretch) onboard with Slackware on a second partition, and several other partitions available between 2 drives totaling 2.4 TB. I'm using an Intel Core i3 @ 3.2Ghz, with 8GB ram. I always have a spare computer around just for experimentation, which
 is what I use this one for. 



To date I have not successfully built LFS using Debian (Wheezy, Jessie, or Stretch). I'll get into glibc on the build tools when it fails.



I've checked the system requirements and I appear to meet them
I added build-essential, bison, gawk, and vim (I hate vim-tiny). I fixed the link to /bin/bash from /bin/dash, Is there something obvious here that I'm missing? The version-check script shows everything as ok with a clean compile on the dummy.c.



I've wiped the system clean and getting ready to start over, any suggestions before I begin again? I gather from all the references that the LFS team has used Debian as a host before. Any additional packages that I need to get into Debian before trying again?



Thanks, 
Daniel
