| 6 | <para>The documentation that comes with Glibc recommends to build the package
|
|---|
| 7 | not in the source directory but in a separate, dedicated directory:</para>

| 12 | <para>Next, prepare Glibc to be compiled:</para>

|

| 21 | <listitem><para><userinput>--disable-profile</userinput>: This disables the
|
|---|
| 22 | building of the libraries with profiling information. Omit this option if you
|

| 23 | plan to do profiling.</para></listitem>
|

| 24 |
|

| 25 | <listitem><para><userinput>--enable-add-ons</userinput>: This enables any
|

| 26 | add-ons that we installed with Glibc, in our case Linuxthreads.</para></listitem>
|

| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <listitem><para><userinput>--libexecdir=/usr/bin</userinput>: This will
|

| 29 | cause the <filename>pt_chown</filename> program to be installed in the

| 35 | <para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>
|

| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | <para>We'll continue with installing the package. The Linuxthreads man
|
|---|
| 38 | pages are not going to be installed at this point because it requires a
|
|---|
| 39 | working Perl installation. We'll install Perl later on in this chapter,
|
|---|
| 40 | and the man pages will be installed when Glibc is installed for the second
|
|---|
| 41 | time at the end of this chapter.</para>

| 47 | <para>The locales (used by Glibc to make your Linux system talk in a different
|
|---|
| 48 | language) weren't installed when you ran the previous command, so we have to
|
|---|
| 49 | do that ourselves now:</para>

| 51 | <para><screen><userinput>make localedata/install-locales</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | <para>An alternative to running the previous command is to install only those
|
|---|
| 54 | locales which you need or want. This can be achieved using the localedef
|
|---|
| 55 | command. Information on this can be found in the <filename>INSTALL</filename>
|
|---|
| 56 | file in the <filename>glibc-&glibc-version;</filename> tree.</para>
