  83. the <emphasis>PREFIX=/usr</emphasis> from the

  85. <emphasis>PREFIX</emphasis> is already set to <emphasis>/usr</emphasis> by
  86. default.</para></listitem>
  87. <listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Vim: Removed

  89. localstatedir at all.</para></listitem>
  90. <listitem><para>September 28th, 2002 [timothy]: Applied Bill Maltby's

  102. <userinput>mv</userinput> shared lib to /lib.</para></listitem>
  103. <listitem><para>September 20th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - GCC:
  104. Removed the <userinput>--enable-threads=posix</userinput> flag since we
  105. don't build a C++ compiler in this chapter.</para></listitem>
  106. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  107. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is
  108. covered in better detail in <emphasis>Why Static</emphasis>.</para></listitem>
  109. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 08 - Linux:
  110. Removed <userinput>cd</userinput> command.</para></listitem>

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

  132. link: Made the <userinput>ln</userinput> command an <userinput>ln
  133. -sf</userinput> so the existing <filename>/etc/mtab</filename> file, created
  134. by the <userinput>mount</userinput> command, will be removed before
  135. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  136. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  137. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  138. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  139. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  140. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
  141. the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory

  150. installations.</para></listitem>

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