|

15 |
|

16 | <para>The Glibc build system is very well self-contained and will install
|
---|
17 | perfectly, even though our compiler specs file and linker are still pointing
|
---|
18 | at <filename>/tools</filename>. We cannot adjust the specs and linker before
|
---|
19 | the Glibc install, because the Glibc autoconf tests would then give bogus
|
---|
20 | results and thus defeat our goal of achieving a clean build.</para>
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | <note><para>The test suite for Glibc in this section is considered
|
---|
23 | <emphasis>critical</emphasis>. Our advice is to not skip it under any
|
---|
24 | circumstance.</para></note>
|
---|
25 |
|
---|
26 | <para>Before starting to build Glibc, remember to unpack the Glibc-linuxthreads
|
---|
27 | again inside the <filename>glibc-&glibc-version;</filename> directory, and to
|
---|
28 | unset any environment variables that override the default optimization
|
---|
29 | flags.</para>
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | <para>Though it is a harmless message, the install stage of Glibc will
|
---|
32 | complain about the absence of <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>. Fix this
|
---|
33 | annoying little warning with:</para>
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | <screen><userinput>touch /etc/ld.so.conf</userinput></screen>
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | <para>Then apply the same patch we used previously:</para>
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | <screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&glibc-sscanf-patch;</userinput></screen>
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | <para>The Glibc documentation recommends building Glibc outside of the source
|
---|
42 | directory in a dedicated build directory:</para>
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | <screen><userinput>mkdir ../glibc-build
|
---|
45 | cd ../glibc-build</userinput></screen>
|
---|
46 |
|
---|
47 | <para>Now prepare Glibc for compilation:</para>
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | <screen><userinput>../glibc-&glibc-version;/configure --prefix=/usr \
|
---|
50 | --disable-profile --enable-add-ons \

54 |

---|
55 | <itemizedlist>
|
---|
56 | <listitem><para><userinput>--libexecdir=/usr/bin</userinput>: This will
|
---|
57 | cause the <filename>pt_chown</filename> program to be installed in the
|
---|
58 | <filename>/usr/bin</filename> directory.</para></listitem>
|
---|
59 |
|
---|
60 | <listitem><para><userinput>--with-headers=/usr/include</userinput>: This
|
---|
61 | ensures that the kernel headers in <filename>/usr/include</filename> are used
|
---|
62 | for this build. If you don't pass this switch then the headers from
|
---|
63 | <filename>/tools/include</filename> are used which of course is not ideal
|
---|
64 | (although they should be identical). Using this switch has the advantage
|
---|
65 | that you will be informed immediately should you have forgotten to install the
|
---|
66 | kernel headers into <filename>/usr/include</filename>.</para></listitem>
|
---|
67 | </itemizedlist>
|
---|
68 |
|
---|
69 | <para>Compile the package:</para>
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | <screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
|
---|
72 |
|
---|
73 | <para>Test the results:</para>
|
---|
74 |
|
---|
75 | <screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen>
|
---|
76 |
|
---|
77 | <para>The test suite notes from <xref linkend="ch05-glibc"/> are still very much
|
---|
78 | appropriate here. Be sure to refer back there should you have any doubts.</para>
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | <para>And install the package:</para>
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | <screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | <para>The locales that can make your system respond in a different language
|
---|
85 | weren't installed by the above command. Do it with this:</para>
|
---|
86 |
|
---|
87 | <screen><userinput>make localedata/install-locales</userinput></screen>
|
---|
88 |
|
---|
89 | <para>An alternative to running the previous command is to install only those
|
---|
90 | locales which you need or want. This can be achieved using the
|
---|
91 | <userinput>localedef</userinput> command. Information on this can be found in
|
---|
92 | the <filename>INSTALL</filename> file in the
|
---|
93 | <filename>glibc-&glibc-version;</filename> tree. However, there are a number
|
---|
94 | of locales that are essential for the tests of future packages to pass
|
---|
95 | correctly. The following instructions, in place of the install-locales
|
---|
96 | command above, will install the minimum set of locales necessary for the
|
---|
97 | tests to run successfully:</para>
|
---|
98 |
|
---|
99 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -p /usr/lib/locale
|
---|
100 | localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE
|
---|
101 | localedef -i de_DE@euro -f ISO-8859-15 de_DE@euro

102 | localedef -i en_HK -f ISO-8859-1 en_HK

103 | localedef -i en_PH -f ISO-8859-1 en_PH

109 | localedef -i ja_JP -f EUC-JP ja_JP</userinput></screen>

111 | <para>Finally, build the linuxthreads man pages:</para>

113 | <screen><userinput>make -C ../&glibc-dir;/linuxthreads/man</userinput></screen>
|

114 |

115 | <para>And install these pages:</para>
