- Next I installed the dynamic linker:
tar zxf ld.so-1.7.12.tar.gz -C /usr/src cd /usr/src/ld.so-1.7.12 sh instldso.sh
- Next I installed the libc binaries. See
release.libc-5.4.17
for more instructions.
rm -f /usr/lib/libc.so /usr/lib/libm.so rm -f /usr/include/iolibio.h /usr/include/iostdio.h rm -f /usr/include/ld_so_config.h /usr/include/localeinfo.h rm -rf /usr/include/netinet /usr/include/net /usr/include/pthread tar -xzf libc-5.4.17.bin.tar.gz -C /
- There is a bug that was fixed in libc that breaks make, and some other programs. Here is what I did in order to rebuild and install make.
tar zxf make-3.74.tar.gz -C /usr/src cd /usr/src/make-3.74 patch < /whereever_you_put_it/release.libc-5.4.17 configure --prefix=/usr sh build.sh ./make install cd .. rm -rf make-2.74
- Now localedef can be compiled and installed.
mkdir /usr/src/libc tar zxf libc-5.4.17.tar.gz -C /usr/src/libc cd /usr/src/libc cd include ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm . ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux . cd ../libc ./configure # I am not sure if these two makes are necessary, but just to be safe : make clean ; make depend cd locale make programs mv localedef /usr/local/bin mv locale /usr/local/bin
- Put the charmaps where
localedef
will find them. This uses the charmaps and locale sources which I down loaded fromdkuug.dk
ftp site ascharmaps.tar
, andlocales.tar
respectively. The older localedef (5.2.18) looked in/usr/share/nls/charmap
for charmap sources, but now localedef looks in/usr/share/i18n/charmaps
and/usr/share/i18n/locales
by default for the charmap and locale sources:
mkdir /usr/share/i18n mkdir /usr/share/i18n/charmaps mkdir /usr/share/i18n/locales tar xf charmaps.tar -C /usr/share/i18n/charmaps tar xf locales.tar -C /usr/share/i18n/locales
The newer localedef (5.4.17) has been made smarter and will look for other locale source files when handling the `copy’ statement, whereas the older localedef needed to have the locale objects already created in order to handle the copy statement. This list of commands has the dependencies sorted out and can be used to generate all the locale objects regardless of which libc version is being used, but you should now be able to create only the ones that you wish.
