WARNING: THE PROGRAMS IN THIS SUITE DO *NOT* SUPPORT SHADOW PASSWORD FILES!
|
|
UNLESS YOU USE PAM.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: THIS COLLECTION CONFLICTS WITH SYSTEM V INITTAB.
|
|
UNLESS YOU CONFIGURE IT NOT TO.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: USE GNU TAR -- OTHER TARS WILL FAIL SILENTLY!
|
|
|
|
WARNING: DO *NOT* INSTALL WITHOUT THINKING.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: The simpleinit and some other programs in this package are
|
|
*NOT* System V compliant. These utilities are meant to be
|
|
used by people who build their own systems. If you are not
|
|
a wizard, do *NOT* blindly install these utilities: they could
|
|
prevent you from logging into your system. Have a boot floppy
|
|
ready, especially if you don't know what you are doing. It's a
|
|
great way to learn though ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install from source:
|
|
|
|
1) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations)
|
|
2) Untar util-linux-2.10X.tar.gz somewhere
|
|
3) cd util-linux-2.10X
|
|
4) Edit MCONFIG
|
|
5) ./configure
|
|
6) Look at defines.h and make_include, and edit if necessary
|
|
7) make
|
|
8) make install
|
|
9) If you want to use simpleinit and agetty, then make softlinks from
|
|
/sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure
|
|
that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V
|
|
compatible init!), or you will be hosed. If you are using the SysV
|
|
init and/or some other getty, they you can keep using those.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have compilation problems: tell util-linux@math.uio.no about it.
|
|
|
|
Compilation will fail on a minix filesystem with 14-byte filenames
|
|
since for example mount_guess_fstype.h, mount_guess_fstype.c and
|
|
mount_guess_fstype.o will be the same file. (However, 30 bytes suffice.)
|
|
|
|
A glibc header bug causes
|
|
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:419: warning: pointer of type `void *'
|
|
used in arithmetic
|
|
This is harmless.
|
|
|
|
Users of libc5 may get warnings like
|
|
/usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:100: warning: no previous prototype for `__fswab16'
|
|
that they'll have to ignore. The Linux kernel includes are not meant to be
|
|
included in user programs, but libc5 does precisely that and is inherently
|
|
broken.
|
|
|
|
Several old libc have complaints like
|
|
/usr/include/sys/syslog.h:71: warning: missing braces around initializer
|
|
/usr/include/sys/syslog.h:87: warning: aggregate has a partly bracketed initializer
|
|
/usr/include/rpc/xdr.h:103: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
|
|
/usr/include/rpc/auth.h:86: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
|
|
/usr/include/rpc/svc.h:79: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
|
|
Also this is a libc/include problem.
|
|
|
|
Warnings like
|
|
<sys/mman.h>:11: warning: `MAP_FILE' redefined
|
|
<asm/mman.h>:30: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
|
|
are caused by the libc/kernel combination.
|
|
|
|
Warnings like
|
|
setterm.c:805: warning: passing arg 1 of `tigetstr' discards qualifiers
|
|
from pointer target type
|
|
login.c:979: warning: passing arg 1 of `putenv' discards qualifiers
|
|
from pointer target type
|
|
are caused by bad ncurses or glibc header files.
|
|
|
|
All such warnings are harmless.
|
|
There should be no compilation errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have runtime problems:
|
|
|
|
- with non-ASCII characters: perhaps you forgot to set LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL?
|
|
(For example, in Norway one can say LC_ALL=no_NO; export LC_ALL and
|
|
then various utilities will treat Scandinavian non-ASCII letters as
|
|
letters.)
|
|
|
|
otherwise: tell util-linux@math.uio.no about it.
