Can anyone tell me some general guidelines for
building and installing a new GNU C Library, plus GCC (C, C++ and Java)? The
last time I tried I couldn't quite understand the READMEs and
documentation.
I am using RedHat 7.1, and I want to uninstall GCC
2.96 and get 2.95 in, along with a version of the GNU C Library that will work
with it.
Which should I build and install first? Would it
break my system to install the latest glibc, do you think? Do I need a separate
library for pthreads, or does the glibc have a configure switch for compiling in
a pthreads implementation?
What I am trying to do is install a decent version
of GCC (2.95.3 or later, but not 2.96), the latest glibc, the latest standard
C++ from GNU, and java compiler + class libs, latest binutils, latest
make/automake/autoconf, etc, and build a development environment with the new
emacs 21.1, diffutils, patch, and so on.
So what should I install first and are there any
special steps I need to take to get it all done?
Thanks heaps.
