  60. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - Zlib:
  61. <userinput>mv</userinput> shared lib to /lib.</para></listitem>
  62. <listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:
  63. Removed the <userinput>--enable-threads=posix</userinput> flag since we
  64. don't build a C++ compiler in this chapter.</para></listitem>
  65. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  66. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is
  67. covered in better detail in <emphasis>Why Static</emphasis>.</para></listitem>
  68. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 08 - Linux:
  69. Removed <userinput>cd</userinput> command.</para></listitem>

  73. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  74. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  75. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  76. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  77. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  78. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  79. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  80. directory.</para></listitem>
  81. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
  82. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the
  83. <filename>man.conf</filename> file. The added regex comments out the
  84. <emphasis>MANPATH /usr/man</emphasis> line which causes for duplicate
  85. results when using the <userinput>whatis</userinput>
  86. command</para></listitem>

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

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

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

  798. <listitem><para>October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:

  800. util-linux-2.11l.</para></listitem>
  801. <listitem><para>October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the

  806. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Vim: Changed the
  807. installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's

  819. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed
  820. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  821. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  822. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  823. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  824. nice.</para></listitem>
  825. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to

  838. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  839. mailing list information to reflect the new ml

  842. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  843. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  844. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  845. when
  846. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  847. enabled.</para></listitem>
  848. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  849. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  850. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  851. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  852. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  853. /bin).</para></listitem>
  854. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  855. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that

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