This is done because Glibc can't -autodetect the location of perl because perl has yet to be installed. The -patch also replaces all occurrences of <emphasis>root</emphasis> with -<emphasis>0</emphasis> in the <filename>login/Makefile</filename> file. -This is done because Glibc itself isn't installed yet and therefore -username to userid resolving isn't working yet, so a <userinput>chown root -file</userinput> will fail, however it'll work fine if you use the numeric -IDs.</para> - -<para>Lastly, the patch also fixes a problem that causes statically linked -binaries to crash that were linked against Glibc-2.2 libraries. This patch -is only needed temporarily because we have static programs in <filename -class="directory">/static/bin</filename> that might be linked against an -older Glibc version (the one from the host distribution). We will install -Glibc again at the end of this chapter to remove this patch so you'll have -a pristine Glibc as the developers intended it.</para> - -<para><userinput>touch /etc/ld.so.conf:</userinput> One of the final steps -of the Glibc installation is running ldconfig to update the dynamic loader -cache. If this file doesn't exist, the installation will abort with an error -that it can't read the file, so we simply create an empty file (the empty -file will have Glibc default to using /lib and /usr/lib which is fine).</para> - -<para><userinput>--disable-profile:</userinput> This disables the building -of libraries with profiling information. This command may be omitted if -you plan to do profiling.</para> - -<para><userinput>--enable-add-ons:</userinput> This enables the add-on that -we install with Glibc, linuxthreads</para> - -<para><userinput>--libexecdir=/usr/bin:</userinput> This will cause the -pt_chown program to be installed in the /usr/bin directory.</para> - -<para><userinput>echo "cross-compiling = no" > configparms:</userinput> -We do this because we are only building for our own system. Cross-compiling -is used, for instance, to build a package for an Apple Power PC on an -Intel system. The reason Glibc thinks we're cross-compiling is that it -can't compile a test program to determine this, so it automatically defaults -to a cross-compiler. Compiling the test program fails because Glibc hasn't -been installed yet.</para> - -<para><userinput>exec /static/bin/bash --login:</userinput> This command will -start a new bash shell which will replace the current shell. This is -done to get rid of the "I have no name!" message in the command -prompt, which was caused by bash's inability to resolve a user ID to -a user name (which in turn was caused by the absence of Glibc).</para> - -</sect2> - |
