I am on Section 6.9 of the LFS book. Everything before this section seemed fine.
When I ran make check I got a huge number of errors. A longer transcript of my make check run can be found here on Pastebin.
Summary of test results:
865 FAIL
1308 PASS
202 XFAIL
Makefile:321: recipe for target 'tests' failed
make[1]: *** [tests] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/glibc-2.21'
Makefile:9: recipe for target 'check' failed
make: *** [check] Error 2
I'm wondering, if looking at the transcript anyone can infer something obvious that I did incorrectly. I think I followed the book word for word, but I may have missed something along the way.
It's likely that GLIBC make check expects some basic command to be present, but that command is missing from your LFS system.
I just checked my GLIBC build, and all the conform tests use /usr/bin/perl.
Look for errors in conform/XPG4/locale.h/linknamespace.out. The problem will likely be obvious.
/bin/sh: line 2: no: command not found
So it's likely that configure looked for perl, didn't find it, and set PERL in config.make to no.
To fix this, you need to install perl before you can run make check.
