10.35.1. Installation of Util-linux

Prepare Util-linux for compilation:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --libdir=/lib \
    --enable-arch --enable-write --disable-login --disable-su

The meaning of the configure options:

--enable-arch

This option allows the arch program to be installed.

--enable-write

This option allows the write program to be installed.

--disable-login --disable-su

Disables building the login and su programs, as the Shadow package installs its own versions.

Compile the package:

make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Install the package:

make install
