[blfs-support] Xorg required dep when following links in BLFS
Greetings, There is a problem with BLFS and Xorg deps when someone follows the links for required dependencies of Xorg libs. An example: When a user attempts to build WIreshark, the require deps will take them all the way to xorg-proto. I have also been told that util-macros isn't required for xproto. I haven't confirmed, so I won't deal with that here. THe problem is, that when someone is following required dependencies and gets to xorg-proto or util macros, XORG_PREFIX won't be set if they follow dependencies rather than going straight to the Xorg introduction page. xorg-proto ( which has util-macros as required dependency) does not have Xorg introduction as a required dependency where XORG_PREFIX and XORG_CONFIG is set. This is a problem and has been for some time. Users constantly come to support (more irc than the mailing list) with issues regarding libraries and headers not found. Of course, we don't support zombies, but clearly, if you go from top to bottom and then someone decides that they would want to install Xorg dependencies while following required dependency links, they don't get XORG_CONFIG or XORG_PREFIX set. Since the Xorg libs will eventually link the required deps all the way to util-macros as a required dependency of xorg-proto, I think it'd be a suggestion to have the xorg introduction as a dependency of util- macros or xorg-proto or both. A lot of people do follow links rather than know if they want to build some or all of Xorg, and when they do this, they don't get to the Xorg introduction page for Xorg. People can argue all they want that users should know if they want any or all of Xorg installed before building an app that may use a GUI. The problem is that the required dependency chain is broken. I followed Wireshark all the way back to util-macros, and nothing about XORG_PREFIX and XORG_CONFIG was mentioned.

If the recommended deps are runtime, then no. Example, if some package wants sendmail or lynx or curl. If the recommended deps are libraries, then yes, the results will be different if you installed the recommended libraries before building the application than installing the recommended dep later. Here is an example: Grep can use pcre. If you install pcre after grep ( as pcre is not in main LFS book) then grep will not build using pcre and won't link to libpcre, as well. If you install pcre before grep, then grep will use and link to libpcre. Also, a package's /etc/confname may be generated based on what deps are found to, and when you install the recommended deps later, the generated config will not reflect it. After installing recommended deps, and you want an application to use them, you need to rebuild the application.

Bootscripts may be different, configure options may be difference, etc. On the other hand, CBLFS is way out of date, not many users in the wiki and it hasn't been updated in a while.

[blfs-support] Updated compressdoc to include xz support
Hello everybody,
I've been working on updating the compressdoc script to include xz
support.
Since I deal mostly with CLFS, and we aren't using man_db at the
moment, I've added a section for if man_db isn't on the host to use man.
This is a rough draft but any input is greatly appreciated to fix any
errors. Granted, to only update the current compressdoc for man_db
only systems requires the removal of the conditional statments of the
portions which deal with man.
I've tested it and it is working well so far.
The following patch can be applied to the svn blfs book's current
compressdoc.

Re: saveguard lfs system
On Apr 18, 2007, at 11:47 PM, jignesh gangani wrote: Hi, As far as I now when you take a backup (using cp -a) and store it on CD/DVD, when you restore you may lost some permission on files. e.g. su losts it set-uid bit, /tmp losts it's saved-text bit and files may lost write permission. I haven't burned the tar.bz2 file on a CD/DVD. After restoring the backup you may have to change lots of permissions. So the best solution I have found is to copy all files to another HD (of you have one extra, a small one will do) having the same file system as your CLFS (ext2, ext3, reiserfs etc). This way you can just copy the backup files and there will be no need for changing permission or so. -- Jignesh D.

As far as I know, when you copy from a CD the files end up being read only and whatever else, you need to use tar or cpio and put it all in it's own container. Use tar to retain permissions! tar then back up, and if you use a character device like a tape, you can just tar to that device. tar cpf!

Yes. The -shared option indicates that gcc should produce a dynamic
library, rather than a runnable executable. What exactly are you
trying
to do?
Simon.
Trying to create the smallest binaries, just the opposite of -static.
but i guess that using no flags will create a binary that uses the
most possible shared libraries.
Just wondering that there was no error telling me it shouldn't be used
on binaries.

It will link shared by default. You won' get an error, it works. The
binary resulting from the -shared flag will segment fault on you
because the interpret isn't set up like it is in a dynamically linked
binary, which is probably ld-linux.so.2 on your system. You can see
the resulting binary is indeed linked dynamically to the library, but
when the ELF program is ran there is no interpreter. Basically
without -shared you end up getting __libc_start_main in the
relocation table.
ELF execution of the program starts inside the kernel. Without the
interpreter in the relocation table, it doesn't get a segment. If an
interpreter entry is present, the interpreter is loaded. Don't need
that with statically linked binaries. Dynamically linked programs
always need the interpreter because it includes startup code, loads
shared libraries needed, and performs relocations. when using -
shared, gcc outputs a binary that doesn't use the interpreter.
Actually you could use readelf and look at the differences between
the binary with and without -shared. Normally a binary to be executed
with the interpreter has these program headers:
PHDR
INTERP
LOAD
DYNAMIC
GNU_STACK, etc
and without:
LOAD
DYNAMIC
GNU_STACK
Maybe this helps some.

William

I'm using GCC-4.0.3 (LFS-6.2 pre-release).
removing the -shared solves the problem. Also using -static there's
no segfault.
Is this normal behaviour because -shared should be used on
libraries only?

First, I think it'd be appropriate that you read what -shared does
in gcc, not for OSX systems... and do this for some experimentation...
echo int main(){} dummy.c
gcc -shared -fPIC dummy.c -o libdummy.so
gcc -L./ -ldummy -o test
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ldd ./test
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./test
You don't even have to use position independent code with dummy.c!
gcc -shared dummy.c -o libdummy.so
gcc -L./ -ldummy -o test
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ldd ./test
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./test
no segfaults!
Why do you get segfaults when you attempt to run an object that is to
be used
to link dynamically?
I want you to compare what the nm output of both libdummy.so and test
give you.
I'm sure you can figure it out with some research.
Even libdummy.so segfaults, but test will not.
yes, it is normal for -shared to segfault when the resulting output
is not a library. It's not restricted to just 4.0.3.
I think the gcc documentation does a good job at explaining what -
shared does, and I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do.
Hope this helps you get closer to your understanding of how it works.

William Harrington
