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

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

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

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

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

  797. <listitem><para>October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the

  803. installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's
  804. <filename>syntax/sh.vim</filename> file, and added the CPPFLAGS variable

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

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

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

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