- <title>Installation of Fileutils</title>
- <para>The programs from a statically linked Fileutils package may cause
- segmentation faults on certain systems, if your distribution has
- Glibc-2.2.3 installed. It seems to happen mostly on machines
- powered by an AMD CPU, but there is a case or two where an Intel system
- is affected as well. If your system falls in this category, apply the
- patch.</para>
- <para>Note that in some cases using this patch will result in not being
- able to compile this package at all, even when your system has an AMD CPU
- and has Glibc-2.2.3 (or higher) installed. If that's the case, you'll need
- to remove the fileutils-&fileutils-version; directory and unpack it again
- from the tarball before continuing. We believe this may be the case when
- your distribution has altered Glibc-2.2.3 somehow, but details are
- unavailable at this time.</para>
- <para>To fix this package to compile properly on AMD/Glibc-2.2.3
- machines, run the following command. Do <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
- attempt this fix if you don't have Glibc-2.2.3 installed. It will more
- than likely result in all kinds of compile time problems.</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../fileutils-&fileutils-patch-version;.patch</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>Prepare the package to be compiled:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>LDFLAGS="-static" \
- ./configure --disable-nls --prefix=$LFS/static</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>Continue with compiling the package:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>And finish off installing the package:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>Once you have installed Fileutils, you can test whether the
- segmentation fault problem has been avoided by running
- <userinput>$LFS/static/bin/ls</userinput>. If this works, then you are OK. If
- not, then you need to re-do the installation with the patch if you didn't
- use it, or without the patch if you did use it.</para>
