  53. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 05 - Introduction:
  54. Removed paragraph about static linking since it seems misleading and is
  55. covered in better detail in <emphasis>Why Static</emphasis>.</para></listitem>
  56. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2002 [timothy]: Chapter 08 - Linux:
  57. Removed <userinput>cd</userinput> command.</para></listitem>

  60. explanation.</para></listitem>
  61. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  62. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  63. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  64. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  65. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  66. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  67. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  68. directory.</para></listitem>
  69. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Man: Added
  70. another regex to the <userinput>sed</userinput> command that modifies the

  73. results when using the <userinput>whatis</userinput>
  74. command</para></listitem>

  79. link: Made the <userinput>ln</userinput> command an <userinput>ln
  80. -sf</userinput> so the existing <filename>/etc/mtab</filename> file, created
  81. by the <userinput>mount</userinput> command, will be removed before
  82. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  83. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  84. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname
  85. program. This is done because the hostname program from the net-tools
  86. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  87. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
  88. the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory

  97. installations.</para></listitem>

  99. lfs-bootscripts-1.10</para></listitem>
  100. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Configure
  101. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  102. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  103. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  104. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
  105. <emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper

  788. util-linux-2.11l.</para></listitem>
  789. <listitem><para>October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the
  790. --datadir option, kbd's default is set properly already.</para></listitem>
  791. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Shadow: Mentioned

  794. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Vim: Changed the
  795. installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's
  796. <filename>syntax/sh.vim</filename> file, and added the CPPFLAGS variable
  797. to specify the global vimrc file as
  798. <filename>/etc/vimrc</filename></para></listitem>
  799. <listitem><para>October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Updated to
  800. libtool-1.4.2, lilo-22.0, man-pages-1.40, modutils-2.4.10, sysvinit-2.83,
  801. util-linux-2.11l and vim-6.0</para></listitem>
  802. <listitem><para>October 2nd, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 9 - The End: Added the

  806. Added reference to the news server</para></listitem>
  807. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed
  808. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  809. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  810. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  811. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  812. nice.</para></listitem>
  813. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to
  814. e2fsprogs-1.25, gettext-0.10.40, linux-2.4.10, modutils-2.4.9 and

  826. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  827. mailing list information to reflect the new ml
  828. structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people
  829. to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>
  830. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  831. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  832. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  833. when
  834. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  835. enabled.</para></listitem>
  836. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  837. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  838. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  839. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  840. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  841. /bin).</para></listitem>
  842. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  843. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  844. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  845. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>

  848. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added
  849. missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
  850. instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be
  851. running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
