  104. <userinput>mv</userinput> shared lib to /lib.</para></listitem>
  105. <listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:
  106. Removed the <userinput>--enable-threads=posix</userinput> flag since we
  107. don't build a C++ compiler in this chapter.</para></listitem>
  108. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  109. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is

  116. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  117. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  118. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  119. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  120. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  121. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  122. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  123. directory.</para></listitem>
  124. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
  125. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the
  126. <filename>man.conf</filename> file. The added regex comments out the
  127. <emphasis>MANPATH /usr/man</emphasis> line which causes for duplicate
  128. results when using the <userinput>whatis</userinput>
  129. command</para></listitem>
  130. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06: Added the

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

  137. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  138. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  139. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  140. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  141. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  142. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
  143. the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory

  155. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure
  156. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  157. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  158. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  159. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
  160. <emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper
