10.36. Util-linux-2.23.2 N32 Libraries

The Util-linux package contains miscellaneous utility programs. Among them are utilities for handling file systems, consoles, partitions, and messages.

10.36.1. Installation of Util-linux

Prepare Util-linux for compilation:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --libdir=/lib32 \
    --enable-write --disable-login --disable-su

The meaning of the configure options:

--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

Move the logger binary to /bin as it is needed by the CLFS-Bootscripts package:

mv -v /usr/bin/logger /bin

Details on this package are located in Section 10.37.3, “Contents of Util-linux.”
