LFS-7.0 coreutils-8.14 libexec
I must be doing something wrong, so please someone confirm or refute this: coreutils-8.14 as per the 7.0 book installs /usr/libexec/coreutils/libstdbuf.so. I had to pass --libexecdir=/usr/lib in chaper 6 in order to fix the location as /usr/lib/coreutils/libstdbuf.so. Anyone?

So far, I haven't run into any problems. Doing a grep for libstdbuf in /usr/bin shows the only application using it is /usr/bin/stdbuf and that knows where it is. I wasn't aware of this. It does seem out of place, but it also doesn't seem to do any harm. Here is a relevant thread: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1770 If it doesn't go in /usr/libexec/coreutils/, the issue is where does it go? The devs seem to think that it should not be a library directory. The FHS says that /usr/libqual is OK, but I think that is really for /usr/lib64, /usr/lib32, etc. libexec is not mentioned in the FHS. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

The weird thing is that the instructions in chapter 6 (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/coreutils.html) say this in section 6.23.2. Contents of Coreutils: Installed library: libstdbuf.so Installed directory: /usr/lib/coreutils So whoever wrote this seemed to think it belonged in /usr/lib. I'll stick with /usr/lib/coreutils too.

Sorta. It doesn't show up with ldd. The weird thing is that the instructions in chapter 6 (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/coreutils.html) say this in section 6.23.2. Contents of Coreutils: Installed library: libstdbuf.so Installed directory: /usr/lib/coreutils I made a change to that in the description in -dev. Thanks for pointing that out. So whoever wrote this seemed to think it belonged in /usr/lib. I'll stick with /usr/lib/coreutils too.

Unless I've misunderstood the above comment, you should set libexecdir back to /usr/lib/coreutils as this has been standard practice in LFS and BLFS for as far back as I can remember (/usr/lib/packagename). There are several examples in BLFS for sure, and in both books IIRC. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

This was just brought up today and I'd like it to percolate a bit. As I said earlier, it seems to be mostly an aesthetic issue, not a practical one. I don't have strong feelings about this either way. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
