@ -15,10 +15,63 @@ can't read the file. So we create an empty file for it (the empty file
will have Glibc default to using /lib and /usr/lib which is fine right now).
</para>
<para>
<userinput>sed s/"\$(PERL)"/"\/usr\/bin\/perl"/
../glibc-2.2.3/malloc/Makefile &gt; tmp~:</userinput> This sed command
searches through <filename>../glibc-2.2.3/malloc/Makefile</filename> and
converts all occurances of <filename>$(PERL)</filename> to
<filename>/usr/bin/perl</filename>. The output is then written to the
file <filename>tmp~</filename>. This is done because Glibc can't
autodetect perl since it's not installed yet at the time when we install
Glibc.
</para>
<para>
<userinput>mv tmp~ ../glibc-2.2.3/malloc/Makefile:</userinput> The file
<filename>tmp~</filename> is now moved back to
<filename>../glibc-2.2.3/malloc/Makefile</filename>. We do this because
when using sed, we can't write straight back to this file so we need to
use a temporary file in between.
</para>
<para>
<userinput>sed "s/root/0" ../glibc-2.2.3/login/Makefile &gt;
tmp~:</userinput> This sed command replaces all occurances of
<filename>root</filename> in
<filename>../glibc-2.2.3/login/Makefile</filename> with 0. This is
because as we don't have glibc on the LFS system yet, usernames can't
be resolved to their user id's. Therefore, we replace the username
root with the id 0.
</para>
<para>
<userinput>mv tmp~ ../glibc-2.2.3/login/Makefile:</userinput> As above,
we are using a temporary file (<filename>tmp~</filename>) to store the
edited Makefile and then copying it back over the original.
</para>
<para>
<userinput>--enable-add-ons:</userinput> This enables the add-on that
we install with Glibc: linuxthreads
</para>
<para>
<userinput>sed s/"cross-compiling = yes"/"cross-compiling = no"/
config.make &gt; config.make~:</userinput> This time, we're replacing
<filename>cross-compiling = yes</filename> with
<filename>cross-compiling = no</filename>. We do this because we are
only building for our own system. Cross-compiling is used, for
instance, to build a package for an Apple Power PC on an Intel system.
The reason Glibc thinks we're cross-compiling is that it can't compile a
test program to determin this, so it automatically default to a
cross-compiler. The reason for the failed program is because Glibc
hasn't been installed yet.
</para>
<para>
<userinput>mv config.make~ config.make:</userinput> Again, we are moving
the temporary file over the original.
