  53. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 08 - Linux:
  54. Removed <userinput>cd</userinput> command.</para></listitem>
  55. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - Ncurses:

  57. explanation.</para></listitem>
  58. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  59. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  60. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  61. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  62. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  63. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  64. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  65. directory.</para></listitem>
  66. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
  67. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the
  68. <filename>man.conf</filename> file. The added regex comments out the

  70. results when using the <userinput>whatis</userinput>
  71. command</para></listitem>
  72. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06: Added the

  74. installation.</para></listitem>
  75. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Create mtab
  76. link: Made the <userinput>ln</userinput> command an <userinput>ln
  77. -sf</userinput> so the existing <filename>/etc/mtab</filename> file, created
  78. by the <userinput>mount</userinput> command, will be removed before
  79. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  80. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  81. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  82. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  83. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  84. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
  85. the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory

  94. installations.</para></listitem>

  96. lfs-bootscripts-1.10</para></listitem>
  97. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure
  98. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  99. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  100. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  101. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
  102. <emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper
  103. locale mode is used by the C++ libraries.</para></listitem>
  104. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2002 [timothy]: Preface: Grammatic

  791. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Vim: Changed the
  792. installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's
  793. <filename>syntax/sh.vim</filename> file, and added the CPPFLAGS variable

  804. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed
  805. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  806. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  807. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  808. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  809. nice.</para></listitem>

  823. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  824. mailing list information to reflect the new ml
  825. structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people
  826. to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>
  827. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  828. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  829. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  830. when
  831. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being

  833. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  834. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  835. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  836. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  837. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  838. /bin).</para></listitem>
  839. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  840. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that

  846. missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
  847. instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be
  848. running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
