- <title>Installation of Glibc</title>
 
- <para>Before starting to install glibc, you must cd into the
 
- glibc-&glibc-version; directory and unpack glibc-linuxthreads inside
 
- the glibc-&glibc-version; directory, not in /usr/src as you normally
 
- would do.</para>
 
- <para>Install Glibc by running the following commands:</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3 &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>touch /etc/ld.so.conf &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>cp -f malloc/Makefile \</userinput>
 
- <userinput>   malloc/Makefile.backup &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>sed 's%\$(PERL)%/usr/bin/perl%' \</userinput>
 
- <userinput>   malloc/Makefile > tmp~ &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>mv -f tmp~ malloc/Makefile &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>cp -f login/Makefile \</userinput>
 
- <userinput>   login/Makefile.backup &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>sed 's/root/0/' login/Makefile > tmp~ &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>mv -f tmp~ login/Makefile &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>mkdir ../glibc-build &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>cd ../glibc-build &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>../glibc-&glibc-version;/configure \</userinput>
 
- <userinput>   --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons \</userinput>
 
- <userinput>   --libexecdir=/usr/bin &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>cp -f config.make config.make.backup &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>sed 's/cross-compiling = yes/cross-compiling = no/' \</userinput>
 
- <userinput>   config.make > tmp~ &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>mv -f tmp~ config.make &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>make &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>make install &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>make localedata/install-locales &&</userinput>
 
- <userinput>exec /bin/bash --login</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>An alternative to running <userinput>make
 
- localedate/install-locales</userinput> is to only install those locales
 
- which you need or want.  This can be achieved using the localedef
 
- command.  Information on this can be found in the INSTALL
 
- file in the glibc-&glibc-version; tree.</para>
 
- <para>During the configure stage you will see the following warning:</para>
 
- <blockquote><screen>configure: warning:
 
- *** An auxiliary program is missing or too old;
 
- *** some features will be disabled.
 
- *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.</screen></blockquote>
 
- <para> This warning refers to the missing msgfmt program from the
 
- gettext package, but it can safely be ignored in our case.  The glibc 
 
- installation will not be affected.</para>
