Libxcrypt Prepare Libxcrypt for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-hashes=strong,glibc \ --enable-obsolete-api=no \ --disable-static \ --disable-failure-tokens --enable-hashes=strong,glibc Build strong hash algorithms recommended for security use cases, and the hash algorithms provided by traditional Glibc libcrypt for compatibility. --enable-obsolete-api=no Disable obsolete API functions. They are not needed for a modern Linux system built from source. --disable-failure-tokens Disable failure token feature. It's needed for compatibility with the traditional hash libraries of some platforms, but a Linux system based on Glibc does not need it. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make check Install the package: make install The instructions above disabled obsolete API functions since no package installed by compiling from sources would link against them at runtime. However, the only known binary-only applications that link against these functions require ABI version 1. If you must have such functions because of some binary-only application or to be compliant with LSB, build the package again with the following commands: make distclean ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-hashes=strong,glibc \ --enable-obsolete-api=glibc \ --disable-static \ --disable-failure-tokens make cp -av .libs/libcrypt.so.1* /usr/lib Installed libraries libcrypt.so Short Descriptions libcrypt Contains functions to hash passwords libcrypt
