Below, "maint" is a local unprivileged user. Change it as you need.
Season to taste. Scripts at the bottom. The recipe here ...
# as root*
**mkdir -p /usr/opt**
**chmod 1777 /usr/opt**
**mkdir -p /usr/local/opt**
**chown maint /usr/local/opt*
I prefer /local/opt for package residence, and the scripts presume that,
but thought /usr/local/opt might be more tolerable in this case.
Optionally install the older version of BINUTILS ...
# as maint
*mkdir -p /usr/local/opt/binutils-2.24.51.0.3/Linux-s390x**
**rsync -l -p -t --no-dirs \**
** rsync://chic.casita.net/opt/***binutils-2.24.51.0.3*/* \**
** /usr/local/opt/binutils-2.24.51.0.3/.**
**rsync -a -u -x -H -K -O -S \**
**
rsync://chic.casita.net/opt/***binutils-2.24.51.0.3*/Linux-s390x/* \**
** /usr/local/opt/binutils-2.24.51.0.3/Linux-s390x/.**
**/usr/local/opt/binutils-2.24.51.0.3/setup*
Then install the latest and greatest ...
# as maint, second version takes precedence
*mkdir -p /usr/local/opt/binutils-2.34/Linux-s390x**
**rsync -l -p -t --no-dirs \**
** rsync://chic.casita.net/opt/***binutils-2.34*/* \**
** /usr/local/opt/binutils-2.34/.**
**rsync -a -u -x -H -K -O -S \**
**
rsync://chic.casita.net/opt/***binutils-2.34*/Linux-s390x/. \**
** /usr/local/opt/binutils-2.34/Linux-s390x/.**
**/usr/local/opt/binutils-2.34/setup*
At that point, prepend /usr/opt/binutils/bin to your PATH variable and
you've got the newer 'as' and 'ld' and friends. These were built
statically so they should not carry pre-reqs.
Enjoy!
Too many manual steps. The method has been around for years, but I
recently started cobbling up scripts to automate it. Those are here ...
*rsync://chic.casita.net/opt/chicory/bin/*
The scipts are new and a work-in-progress. I use them regularly now
(instead of the unscalable manual steps) but I haven't tested edge cases.
Share and share alike!
