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

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

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

  84. crash under certain locale settings.</para></listitem>
  85. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 04 - Creating a
  86. file system: Referenced alternative filesystems in BLFS.</para></listitem>
  87. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Removed all superfluous
  88. <filename>/usr/lib/*.so</filename> symbolic links from library
  89. installations.</para></listitem>
  90. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to
  91. lfs-bootscripts-1.10</para></listitem>
  92. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure
  93. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  94. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  95. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  96. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
  97. <emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper
  98. locale mode is used by the C++ libraries.</para></listitem>
  99. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2002 [timothy]: Preface: Grammatic
  100. changes.</para></listitem>

  799. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed
  800. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  801. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  802. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  803. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  804. nice.</para></listitem>
  805. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to

  818. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  819. mailing list information to reflect the new ml

  821. to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>
  822. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  823. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  824. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  825. when
  826. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  827. enabled.</para></listitem>
  828. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  829. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  830. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  831. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  832. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  833. /bin).</para></listitem>
  834. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  835. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  836. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  837. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>

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