Gcc

Tue, 11/04/2014 - 11:15

Introduction

This is the first step in installing glibc-2. We first make sure that gcc is updated to the newest version, before we compile system-critical stuff. Here I describe how you compile gcc to produce native code: code that runs with your current libc-5 and on your current system. Compiling gcc as a cross-compiler is done later on.

Gcc (cross compiler)

Tue, 11/04/2014 - 11:14

Introduction

This is the fifth step in installing glibc-2. After installing the library and all supporting files, we will now compile the cross-compiler. After finishing this step, we are ready to compile glibc-2 programs.

Essay

This document will explain some of the background theories I used to setup my libc5/glibc2 compilation environment. It may help you understand better why things are configured as they are, and how you can extend this setup with other compilation targets.

Downloads

Introduction

Here you will find all downloadable files which you can use when following this guide. They come in three kinds: the source-code packages you need to compile, the patches you need to apply on them, and the manifests of files that will be installed by them.

Cleaning up

Tue, 11/04/2014 - 11:05

Introduction

After installing the new compilation environment, you can clean up the remains of the old environment.

ld.so

You can remove the old library files. Look in /lib for files named ld-linux.so.1.?.?. You can delete them all except the one with the highest version number (ld-linux.so.1 should be linked to it). You can do the same for libdl.so.1.?.? in /usr/lib.

Glibc installation: changelog

  • Put the guide on my new new website.

13-11-2005

  • Put the guide on my new website.
  • Redo all HTML
  • Fix many typo's and update some links
  • Add a new download page

15-04-1999

  • Added a patch for libc compilation under 2.2.x kernels

30-12-1998

With most Linux distributions shipping with glibc2 as the default, this guide may get superfluous. I will update everything to the newest versions, and we will see.

Binutils

Tue, 11/04/2014 - 10:59

Introduction

This is the third step in installing glibc-2. The binary utilities include the linker and assembler, and they must be installed before we can use the cross-compiler. We will do two installations here, one for our default libc-5 target, and one for the additional libc-6 target.
