10.37.1. Installation of Inetutils
Not all programs that come with Inetutils will be installed.
However, the Inetutils build system will insist on installing all the
man pages anyway. The following patch will correct this
situation:
patch -Np1 -i ../inetutils-1.5-no_server_man_pages-2.patch
Prepare Inetutils for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
--disable-logger --disable-syslogd \
--disable-whois --disable-serversThe meaning of the configure options:
--disable-loggerThis option prevents Inetutils from installing the
logger program, which is used by scripts to
pass messages to the System Log Daemon. Do not install it because
Util-linux-ng installs a better version later.
--disable-syslogdThis option prevents Inetutils from installing the System Log
Daemon, which is installed with the Sysklogd package.
--disable-whoisThis option disables the building of the Inetutils
whois client, which is out of date.
Instructions for a better whois client are
in the CBLFS book.
--disable-serversThis disables the installation of the various network
servers included as part of the Inetutils package. These servers are
deemed not appropriate in a basic CLFS system.
Compile the package:
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Install the package:
make install
Move the ping and ping6
programs to their FHS-compliant place:
mv -v /usr/bin/ping{,6} /bin
