<title>Glibc installation</title>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>../glibc-&glibc-version;/configure --prefix=/usr \
|
|
--disable-profile --enable-add-ons \
|
|
--libexecdir=/usr/bin \
|
|
--with-headers=/usr/include \
|
|
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The meaning of the configure options are:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>--disable-profile</userinput>: This disables the
|
|
building of the libraries with profiling information. Omit this option if you
|
|
plan to do profiling.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>--enable-add-ons</userinput>: This enables any
|
|
add-ons that we installed with Glibc, in our case Linuxthreads.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>--libexecdir=/usr/bin</userinput>: This will
|
|
cause the <filename>pt_chown</filename> program to be installed in the
|
|
<filename>/usr/bin</filename> directory.</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>During this stage you will see the following warning:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><screen>configure: warning:
|
|
*** These auxiliary programs are missing or too old: msgfmt
|
|
*** some features will be disabled.
|
|
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.</screen></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>The missing <filename>msgfmt</filename> program (from the Gettext
|
|
package, which we'll install later) won't cause any problems. The
|
|
<filename>msgfmt</filename> is used to generate the binary translation
|
|
files that can make your system talk in a different language. Because these
|
|
translation files have already been generated for you, there is no need for
|
|
<filename>msgfmt</filename>. You'd only need the program if you change the
|
|
translation source files (the <filename>*.po</filename> files in the
|
|
<filename class="directory">po</filename> subdirectory), which
|
|
would require you to regenerate the binary files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Continue with compiling the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<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><screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The locales (used by Glibc to make your Linux system talk in a different
|
|
language) weren't installed when you ran the previous command, so we have to
|
|
do that ourselves now:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>make localedata/install-locales</userinput></screen></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>
|
|
|
|
<para>Build the linuxthreads man pages:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>make -C ../glibc-2.3.2/linuxthreads/man</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Install the man pages:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>make -C ../glibc-2.3.2/linuxthreads/man install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To finish off the installation we'll reload Bash so it will use the new
|
|
<filename>libnss_*</filename> files. This will also get rid of the
|
|
<emphasis>I have no name!</emphasis> message in the command prompt:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>exec /stage1/bin/bash --login</userinput></screen></para>
