<title>Installation of Fileutils</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>There is a documented bug with the atexit() function in glibc-2.2.3
|
|
when it is compiled with gcc-2.95.3. This bug only occurs on some systems
|
|
(primarily AMD, but not exclusively). This bug causes segmentation faults
|
|
in fileutils-4.1 when it is compiled statically. This patch causes
|
|
on_exit() to be called instead of atexit().</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that in some cases using this patch will result in not being
|
|
able to compile this package at all, even when your system has an AMD CPU
|
|
and has Glibc-2.2.3 (or higher) installed. If that's the case, you'll need
|
|
to remove the fileutils-&fileutils-version; directory and unpack it again
|
|
from the tarball before continuing. We believe this may be the case when
|
|
your distribution has altered Glibc-2.2.3 somehow, but the exact details
|
|
are unknown.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To fix this package to compile properly on AMD/Glibc-2.2.3
|
|
machines, run the following command. Do <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
|
|
attempt this fix if you don't have Glibc-2.2.3 installed. It will more
|
|
than likely result in all kinds of compilation problems.</para>

<para>And finish off installing the package:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once you have installed Fileutils, you can test whether the
|
|
segmentation fault problem has been avoided by running
|
|
<userinput>$LFS/static/bin/ls</userinput>. If this works, then you are OK. If
|
|
not, then you need to re-do the installation with the patch if you didn't
|
|
use it, or without the patch if you did use it.</para>
