<title>Installation of Fileutils</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The programs from a statically linked fileutils package may cause
|
|
segmentation faults on certain systems, if your distribution has
|
|
Glibc-2.2.3 or higher installed. It also seems to happen mostly on machines
|
|
powered by an AMD CPU, but there is a case or two where an Intel system
|
|
is affected as well. If your system falls under this category, try the
|
|
following fix.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that in some cases using these sed commands will result in
|
|
problems not being able to compile this package at all, even when your
|
|
system has an AMD CPU and has Glibc-2.2.3 (or higher) installed. If that's
|
|
the case, you'll need to remove the fileutils-&fileutils-version; directory
|
|
and unpack it again from the tarball before continuing. We believe this
|
|
may be the case when your distribution has altered Glibc-2.2.3 somehow,
|
|
but details are unavailable at the time.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To fix this package to compile properly on AMD/Glibc-2.2.3
|
|
machines, run the following commands. Do <emphasis>not</emphasis>
|
|
attempt this fix if you don't have Glibc-2.2.3 installed. It will more
|
|
than likely result in all kinds of compile time problems.</para>

<para>Install fileutils by running the following commands:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>./configure --disable-nls \

--prefix=$LFS/usr --libexecdir=$LFS/bin --bindir=$LFS/bin &&

make LDFLAGS=-static &&
|
|
make install &&
|
|
cd $LFS/usr/bin &&
|
|
ln -sf ../../bin/install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once you have installed fileutils, you can test whether the
|
|
segmentation fault problem has been avoided by running
|
|
<userinput>$LFS/bin/ls</userinput>. If this works, then you are OK. If
|
|
not, then you need to re-do the installation using the sed commands if
|
|
you didn't use them, or without the sed commands if you did use
|
|
them.</para>
