7.9. Util-linux-2.12r

Util-linux fails to compile against newer versions of Linux kernel headers. The following patch properly fixes this issue:

patch -Np1 -i ../util-linux-2.12r-cramfs-1.patch

The following patch fixes build issues with GCC 4.1.1:

patch -Np1 -i ../util-linux-2.12r-gcc4_fixes-1.patch

The following patch fixes swapon.c - it tries to find the variable R_OK, but the header that has R_OK is not included:

patch -Np1 -i ../util-linux-2.12r-missing_header-1.patch

Util-linux has a compilation error when built using 64bit and a MIPS processor. The follow patch addresses this error:

patch -Np1 -i ../util-linux-2.12r-mips64_fix-1.patch

Util-linux does not use the freshly installed headers and libraries from the /tools directory by default. This is fixed by altering the configure script:

cp -v configure{,.orig}
sed -e 's@/usr/include@/tools/include@g' configure.orig > configure

The Util-linux installation uses -o root. The following sed removes that since we don't have users setup yet:

cp -v MCONFIG{,.orig}
sed -e 's|-o root||' MCONFIG.orig > MCONFIG

Prepare Util-linux for compilation:

CC="${CC} ${BUILD64}" ./configure

Prepare Util-linux for compilation:

make HAVE_KILL=yes HAVE_SLN=yes \
    HAVE_SHADOW=no CPUOPT="" ARCH="" \
    CPU=""

Install the package:

make HAVE_KILL=yes HAVE_SLN=yes HAVE_SHADOW=no \
    USE_TTY_GROUP=no CPUOPT="" ARCH="" \
    CPU="" DESTDIR=${CLFS} install
