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

  83. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  84. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  85. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  86. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  87. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  88. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  89. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  90. directory.</para></listitem>

  92. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the

  105. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  106. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  107. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  108. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  109. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated

  123. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of

  125. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  126. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the

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