  56. <listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:
  57. Removed the <userinput>--enable-threads=posix</userinput> flag since we
  58. don't build a C++ compiler in this chapter.</para></listitem>
  59. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  60. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is
  61. covered in better detail in <emphasis>Why Static</emphasis>.</para></listitem>
  62. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 08 - Linux:
  63. Removed <userinput>cd</userinput> command.</para></listitem>
  64. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - Ncurses:
  65. Removed old <userinput>mv /lib/*.a /usr/lib</userinput> command
  66. explanation.</para></listitem>
  67. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  68. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  69. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  70. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  71. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  72. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  73. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  74. directory.</para></listitem>
  75. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
  76. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the
  77. <filename>man.conf</filename> file. The added regex comments out the
  78. <emphasis>MANPATH /usr/man</emphasis> line which causes for duplicate
  79. results when using the <userinput>whatis</userinput>
  80. command</para></listitem>
  81. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06: Added the

  83. installation.</para></listitem>
  84. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Create mtab
  85. link: Made the <userinput>ln</userinput> command an <userinput>ln
  86. -sf</userinput> so the existing <filename>/etc/mtab</filename> file, created
  87. by the <userinput>mount</userinput> command, will be removed before
  88. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  89. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  90. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  91. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  92. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  93. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
  94. the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory
  95. location now.</para></listitem>

  102. <filename>/usr/lib/*.so</filename> symbolic links from library
  103. installations.</para></listitem>

  106. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure
  107. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  108. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  109. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  110. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
  111. <emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper
  112. locale mode is used by the C++ libraries.</para></listitem>
  113. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2002 [timothy]: Preface: Grammatic

  124. command. Makedev: Removed /bin/bash creation and removal. Man: Modified sed
  125. statement to edit less call, so SGR will work.</para></listitem>
  126. <listitem><para>September 1st, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - About
  127. debugging symbols: Removed info. about stripping /static. Man: Added sed

  129. <listitem><para>September 1st, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Install all

  786. <listitem><para>October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5 - Kernel: Added

  788. them.</para></listitem>
  789. <listitem><para>October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Appendix A - Gzip: Added

  792. <listitem><para>October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  793. Removed the USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin entry as it's no longer needed with
  794. util-linux-2.11l.</para></listitem>
  795. <listitem><para>October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the
  796. --datadir option, kbd's default is set properly already.</para></listitem>
  797. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Shadow: Mentioned

  800. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Vim: Changed the
  801. installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's
  802. <filename>syntax/sh.vim</filename> file, and added the CPPFLAGS variable
  803. to specify the global vimrc file as
  804. <filename>/etc/vimrc</filename></para></listitem>
  805. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Updated to
  806. libtool-1.4.2, lilo-22.0, man-pages-1.40, modutils-2.4.10, sysvinit-2.83,
  807. util-linux-2.11l and vim-6.0</para></listitem>
  808. <listitem><para>October 2nd, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 9 - The End: Added the

  812. Added reference to the news server</para></listitem>
  813. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed
  814. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  815. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  816. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  817. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  818. nice.</para></listitem>
  819. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to
  820. e2fsprogs-1.25, gettext-0.10.40, linux-2.4.10, modutils-2.4.9 and

  832. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  833. mailing list information to reflect the new ml
  834. structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people
  835. to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>
  836. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  837. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  838. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  839. when
  840. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  841. enabled.</para></listitem>
  842. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  843. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  844. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  845. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  846. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  847. /bin).</para></listitem>
  848. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  849. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  850. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  851. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>

  854. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added
  855. missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
  856. instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be
  857. running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
