<title>Glibc installation</title>
<para>The Glibc build system is very well self-contained and will install
perfectly, even though our compiler specs file and linker scripts are still
pointing at <filename>/stage1</filename>. We cannot adjust the specs and
ldscripts before the Glibc install, because the Glibc autoconf tests would then
give bogus results and thus defeat our goal of achieving a clean build.</para>
<para>The documentation that comes with Glibc recommends to build the package
not in the source directory but in a separate, dedicated directory:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>mkdir ../glibc-build
cd ../glibc-build</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Next, prepare Glibc to be compiled:</para>

ensures that the kernel headers in <filename>/usr/include</filename> are used
for this build. If you don't pass this switch then the headers from
<filename>/stage1/include</filename> are used which of course is not ideal
(although they should be identical). Using the switch has the advantage
that you will be informed immediately should you have forgotten to install the

<para>We'll continue with installing the package. The Linuxthreads man
pages are not going to be installed at this point because it requires a
working Perl installation. We'll install Perl later on in this chapter,
and the man pages will be installed when Glibc is installed for the second
time at the end of this chapter.</para>

<para>The locales (used by Glibc to make your Linux system talk in a different

<para>The locales that can make your system respond in a different language
weren't installed by the above command. Do it with this:</para>

<para>An alternative to running the previous command is to install only those
locales which you need or want. This can be achieved using the localedef
command. Information on this can be found in the <filename>INSTALL</filename>
file in the <filename>glibc-&glibc-version;</filename> tree.</para>
