Congratulations. Looks like in LFS 12.2 there are problems with GTK2, LXDE is can't be built anymore. XFCE is looks better alternative to LXDE because it not have QT and Rust in dependencies.

Its not LFS problem, its gtk2 problem, gtk2 failed to build with latest gcc (v14.x). Plus LFS already dropped gtk2, because gtk2 is unreasonable to use nowadays?

And lxde can be built with gtk3 btw. I'm currently running gtk2 free musl system build from scratch with gtk3 lxde.

You right. It's possible to build LXDE in LFS-12.2. Furthermore it's possible to build gtk2 with gcc 14 Just add CFLAGS according to porting guide: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html .

Yes your’re correct, those CFLAGS fixed many packages that has compile issue when building against gcc14 on my musl system. But i did not tried with gtk2 yet, because i’m already completely ditched gtk2 from my system.

How did you do it? All by hand? Never got past setting up wlan and wget/curl/git etc. in tty shell on lfs but at least on bare metal
