You can -generally find these at sources.redhat.com in pub/libc. Put both the -regular glibc tar.bz2 *AND* the matching linuxthreads tar.bz2. After -that follow the usual build procedures. - -Compiling the GNU C library yourself requires a lot of resources. For -a complete build using dpkg-buildpackage you need at least 750MB free -disk space and at least 16MB of RAM and 32MB of swap space (if you -have only that much you're better off not running X at the same -time). Note that the C library on the Hurd is also somewhat larger: -you'll need over 800MB of free disk space to build Hurdish packages. - -A complete build takes 45 minutes on a Pentium III 735Mhz machine, and -25 minutes to run the test suite. The cause for this is the intricate -Makefile structure of glibc which needs a lot of computing power for -make to figure out the automatically generated dependencies. If you -are building all of the optimized libraries for the IA32 family, allow -2.5 hours for this build. - -For Linux, you will need at least the kernel headers for the specific -kernel version required for your machine's architecture. These are -specified in the `debian/sysdeps/linux.mk' file, and can be overridden -by exporting the environment variable LINUX_SOURCE set to the path to -the desired kernel. - -For the Hurd, you will need to have installed the GNU Mach and Hurd -header files (which come with the `gnumach-dev' and `hurd-dev' -packages). See the Hurd source package's `INSTALL' file for more -information. - -Please consider reading the `FAQ' file in this directory. It is also -suggested that you also read the `README' and `INSTALL' files in the -top-level of the glibc source tree.
