Installation of M4
Install M4 by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install
If the base system is running a 2.0 kernel and the Glibc version is
2.1 then you will most likely get problems executing M4 in the
chroot'ed environment due to incompatibilities between the M4 program,
Glibc-2.1 and the running 2.0 kernel. If you have problems executing the
m4 program in the chroot'ed environment (for example when you install
the autoconf and automake packages) you'll have to exit the chroot'ed
environment and compile M4 statically. This way the binary is linked
against Glibc 2.0 (if he runs kernel 2.0, Glibc version is 2.0 as
well on a decent system. Kernel 2.0 and Glibc-2.1 don't mix very well)
and won't give any problems.
To create a statically linked version of M4, execute the following
commands:
logout
cd $LFS/usr/src/m4-1.4
./configure --prefix=/usr
make LDFLAGS=-static
make prefix=$LFS/usr install
Now the chroot'ed environment can be re-entered and the
next package an be installed. If M4 should be re-compiled dynamically,
this can be done
after having rebooted into the LFS system rather than chrooting into it.
