%general-entities; ]> Create a build dir: mkdir ../glibc-build cd ../glibc-build Next, prepare Glibc for compilation: ../glibc-&glibc-version;/configure --prefix=/tools \ --disable-profile --enable-add-ons \ --enable-kernel=2.6.0 --with-binutils=/tools/bin \ --without-gd --without-cvs --with-headers=/tools/include Compile the package: make Test the results: make check For a discussion of test failures that are of particular importance, please see . mkdir /tools/etc touch /tools/etc/ld.so.conf Now install the package: make install To install the Glibc locales, use the following command: make localedata/install-locales An alternative to running the previous command is to install only those locales which you need or want. The following instructions, instead of the install-locales target above, will install the minimum set of locales necessary for the tests to run successfully: mkdir -p /tools/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 fa_IR -f UTF-8 fa_IR 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
