So I got through compilation of my very first linux kernel ok (I've run Ubuntu before, but you really don't see much of the cli, let alone the kernel, in ubuntu). After coppying the compiled kernel into its own directory in /boot and attempting to emerge genkernel so I can install and build an initramfs, I get the following error:

>>> Failed to emerge app-arch/cpio-2.11, Log File:

>>> '/var/tmp/portage/app-arch/cpio-2.11/temp/build.log'

* Messages for package app-arch/cpio-2.11:

* Error: app-arch/cpio-2.11 failed (configure phase):
* econf failed
*
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 93: Called src_configure
* environment, line 2012: Called econf '--enable-nls' '--bindir=/bin' '--with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt'
* phase-helpers, line 501: Called die
* The specific snipped of code:
* die "econf failed"

Then some stuff about posting the above.


I got a different dependency error for nvidia-drivers (which I now know I can't install because the kernel on the livecd isn't supported - ah, shucks!), this time for dev-python/python-exec-0.2

This is less urgent as I suspect this is happening because I haven't installed my kernel yet.

nlieb,

Please use wgetpaste to post the /var/tmp/portage/app-arch/cpio-2.11/temp/build.log
That will show what went wrong. We know its in the configure phase, which is when the bild system checks for all the things it needs.

nlieb,
Code:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Did you make any changes to your compiler flags in make.conf :?:

I did, but none of the modifications I made were all that radical. I did notice that there were two CFLAGS lines (I must have just added a CFLAGS line without seeing there was already a CFLAGS line in the file), but removing that and its accompanying CXXFLAGS line didn't change the error message. My CFLAGS line reads

Code:
 CFLAGS="-march=opteron-sse3 -o2 -pipe -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mmmx -m3dnow"


If anything in that looks like it shouldn't be there, please tell me...

Although it is a good thing I went in there as I noticed that sse3 and 3dnow were not in the use flags. Didn't change anything, though.

nlieb,

Check your output for -march=native

Code:
laptop bill # gcc -### -march=native -E /usr/include/stdlib.h 2>&1 | grep "/usr/libexec/gcc/.*cc1"

My output is:
Code:
 /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.3/cc1 -E -quiet /usr/include/stdlib.h "-march=corei7-avx" -mcx16 -msahf -mno-movbe -mno-aes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mno-abm -mno-lwp -mno-fma -mno-fma4 -mno-xop -mno-bmi -mno-tbm -mavx -msse4.2 -msse4.1 --param "l1-cache-size=32" --param "l1-cache-line-size=64" --param "l2-cache-size=3072" "-mtune=corei7-avx"

It might be better than trying to figure out what to include. If in doubt change make.conf to CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe" and see if you can emerge cpio.

Tried changing the flags to what is listed under native, didn't work. Same with changing it to native.

nlieb,

Paste back the output of:
Code:
n=$(users|awk '{print $1}');echo 'int main(){return 0;}' > /home/$n/dummy.c && gcc -v /home/$n/dummy.c -o /home/$n/dummy && rm /home/$n/dummy*

What is that -o2 doing there? -o is same as output, like `gcc 2.c -o 2` and you get a executable named 2 from source file 2.c

Bad USE flag settings will cause problems other than not being able to compile.

paste back your make.conf

Meant to put in -O2, fixed it. Still didn't solve the problem, though.

nlieb,

With -o2, you couldn't emerge anything. With -O2 you should have got a different error.
Please pastebin the new build log.

When ./configure fails like that, it will leave a file config.log in the same directory as where the ./configure script is, as in somewhere in /var/tmp/portage/category_name/package_name/work/

So lets just PLEASE stop guessing and provide up-to-date config.log here so we can all stop guessing.

Thanks.
