<para>The Glibc package contains the main C library. This library provides all

the basic routines for allocating memory, searching directories, opening and

|
closing files, reading and writing them, string handling, pattern matching,

arithmetic, and so on.</para>

<title>Installation of Glibc</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The Glibc build system is very well self-contained and will install
|
|
perfectly, even though our compiler specs file and linker are still pointing
|
|
at <filename>/tools</filename>. We cannot adjust the specs and linker 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>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>The test suite for Glibc in this section is considered
|
|
<emphasis>critical</emphasis>. Our advice is to not skip it under any
|
|
circumstance.</para></note>
|
|
|
|
<para>Before starting to build Glibc, remember to unset any environment
|
|
variables that override the default optimization flags.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The Glibc documentation recommends building Glibc outside of the source
|
|
directory in a dedicated build directory:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mkdir ../glibc-build
|
|
cd ../glibc-build</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now prepare Glibc for compilation:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>../&glibc-dir;/configure --prefix=/usr \
|
|
--disable-profile --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads \
|
|
--libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-headers=/usr/include \
|
|
--without-cvs</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>The meaning of the new configure options:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>--libexecdir=/usr/lib</userinput>: This changes the
|
|
location of the <filename>pt_chown</filename> program from its default of
|
|
<filename class="directory">/usr/libexec</filename> to
|
|
<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>. The use of
|
|
<emphasis>libexec</emphasis> is considered not to be FHS-compliant because the
|
|
FHS doesn't even mention it.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>--with-headers=/usr/include</userinput>: This
|
|
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>/tools/include</filename> are used which of course is not ideal
|
|
(although they should be identical). Using this switch has the advantage
|
|
that you will be informed immediately should you have forgotten to install the
|
|
kernel headers into <filename>/usr/include</filename>.</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Compile the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Test the results:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>The test suite notes from <xref linkend="ch-tools-glibc"/> are still very much
|
|
appropriate here. Be sure to refer back there should you have any doubts.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Though it is a harmless message, the install stage of Glibc will
|
|
complain about the absence of <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>. Fix this
|
|
annoying little warning with:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>touch /etc/ld.so.conf</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>And install the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make localedata/install-locales</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>An alternative to running the previous command is to install only those
|
|
locales which you need or want. This can be achieved by using the
|
|
<userinput>localedef</userinput> command. Information on this can be found in
|
|
the <filename>INSTALL</filename> file in the Glibc source. However, there are
|
|
a number of locales that are essential for the tests of future packages to
|
|
pass, in particular, the <emphasis>libstdc++</emphasis> tests from GCC. The
|
|
following instructions, instead of the install-locales target above, will
|
|
install the minimum set of locales necessary for the tests to run
|
|
successfully:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mkdir -p /usr/lib/locale
|
|
localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE
|
|
localedef -i de_DE@euro -f ISO-8859-15 de_DE@euro
|
|
localedef -i en_HK -f ISO-8859-1 en_HK
|
|
localedef -i en_PH -f ISO-8859-1 en_PH
|
|
localedef -i en_US -f ISO-8859-1 en_US
|
|
localedef -i es_MX -f ISO-8859-1 es_MX
|
|
localedef -i fr_FR -f ISO-8859-1 fr_FR
|
|
localedef -i fr_FR@euro -f ISO-8859-15 fr_FR@euro
|
|
localedef -i it_IT -f ISO-8859-1 it_IT
|
|
localedef -i ja_JP -f EUC-JP ja_JP</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, build the linuxthreads man pages:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make -C ../&glibc-dir;/linuxthreads/man</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>And install these pages:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make -C ../&glibc-dir;/linuxthreads/man install</userinput></screen>
