Trouble when Compiling

[hantechbl]

I'm working on lfs and when I was compiling I got a error message: loading cache ./config.cache
checking for Cygwin environment... no
checking for mingw32 environment... no
configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in /lfs/binutils-build /lfs/binutils-build/.. /lfs/binutils-build/../..
I looked inside the folder and there was no install so what do I do now?

I haven't played with LFS (yet), but are you installing it step-by-step, or winging it? Also, what are you trying to compile?

I do step by step in the chapters I need like getting packages and setting up compiler. I am trying to compile binutils

Re: Trouble when Compiling

Following the instructions listed here, it compiled fine for me; when you were configuring your build environment, did you make the build directory (mkdir -v ../binutils-build) and change to it (cd ../binutils-build)? If so, did you then set the CC (C Compiler) variable and run the configure script (../binutils-2.18/configure ...) before you tried to compile binutils with make? The install-sh script should be located in the binutils-2.18 directory, not your build directory, which makes me think something simply went wrong with your configuration.
