  56. <listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Bzip2: Removed
  57. the <emphasis>PREFIX=/usr</emphasis> from the
  58. <userinput>make install</userinput> command because the
  59. <emphasis>PREFIX</emphasis> is already set to <emphasis>/usr</emphasis> by
  60. default.</para></listitem>
  61. <listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Vim: Removed
  62. the FHS compliance notes. They are bogus because Vim doesn't use the
  63. localstatedir at all.</para></listitem>
  64. <listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [timothy]: Applied Bill Maltby's
  65. grammatic-fixes patch. Changed "$LFS" to "LFS" when speaking of the LFS
  66. environment variable.</para></listitem>
  67. <listitem><para>September 23rd, 2002 [timothy]: Applied Bill Maltby's
  68. grammatic-related patches.</para></listitem>

  70. before <userinput>tar</userinput> options (for clarity).</para></listitem>
  71. <listitem><para>September 22nd, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06: Applied Alex's
  72. grammatic-fixes patch.</para></listitem>
  73. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 02: Applied Bill
  74. Maltby's grammatic-fixes patch.</para></listitem>
  75. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - Zlib:
  76. <userinput>mv</userinput> shared lib to /lib.</para></listitem>
  77. <listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:
  78. Removed the <userinput>--enable-threads=posix</userinput> flag since we
  79. don't build a C++ compiler in this chapter.</para></listitem>
  80. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  81. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is
  82. covered in better detail in <emphasis>Why Static</emphasis>.</para></listitem>

  88. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  89. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  90. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  91. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  92. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  93. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  94. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  95. directory.</para></listitem>
  96. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
  97. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the
  98. <filename>man.conf</filename> file. The added regex comments out the
  99. <emphasis>MANPATH /usr/man</emphasis> line which causes for duplicate
  100. results when using the <userinput>whatis</userinput>
  101. command</para></listitem>

  106. link: Made the <userinput>ln</userinput> command an <userinput>ln

  108. by the <userinput>mount</userinput> command, will be removed before
  109. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  110. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  111. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  112. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  113. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  114. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
  115. the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory

  124. installations.</para></listitem>

  127. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure
  128. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  129. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  130. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  131. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
  132. <emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper
  133. locale mode is used by the C++ libraries.</para></listitem>
  134. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2002 [timothy]: Preface: Grammatic
  135. changes.</para></listitem>

  145. command. Makedev: Removed /bin/bash creation and removal. Man: Modified sed
  146. statement to edit less call, so SGR will work.</para></listitem>
  147. <listitem><para>September 1st, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - About

  835. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install

  838. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  839. nice.</para></listitem>

  858. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  859. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads

  863. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  864. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  865. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  866. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  867. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  868. /bin).</para></listitem>
  869. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:

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