BYO Linux: Dynamic Install (12)

Now, let's re-install dynamically the packages we made statically before. You will have to delete all the package folders and unzip them again to make them fresh. Remaking these packages dynamically will make the system CONSIDERABLY smaller. 

The following packages get the standard
./configure
make
make install 

-Binutils
-Find Utils 
-Grep 
-M4 
-Make 
-Mawk 
-Sed 
-Tar 

These next packages need special attention

GCC 2.95.2:

./configure --enable-shared 
make
make install
ldconfig

BASH:

./configure --with-installed-readline 
make 
-Find the file called Makefile and edit the variable bindir to read bindir = /bin
make install 

FILE UTILS:

./configure 
make 
-Find the file called Makefile and edit the following variables: 

bindir to read bindir = /bin sbindir to read sbindir = /sbin sysconfdir to read sysconfdir = /etc localstatedir to read localstatedir = /var 
make install 
Next, move the /usr/bin/rm file to /bin 

GZIP:

./configure
make 
-Next, edit the Makefile to replace the variable bindir with /bin as described above 
make install 

SH-UTILS:

./configure
make 
make install 

Next, move the /usr/bin/echo file to /bin 

SYSVINIT:

Go into the packages /src directory make
Next, edit the Makefile and look for a line that begins with install: 
Remove sulogin from the Makefile (shadow passwords installs there own version). 
make install 

TEXINFO:

./configure 
make 
make install 
Create a symlink that links /usr/bin/makeinfo /usr/bin/tex 

TEXUTILS:

./configure
make 
make install 
Move the cat file from /usr/bin to /bin 

UTIL-LINUX:

WARNING: Don't be tempted to install the entire package, it will break linux 

./configure 
Go into the packages /lib directory and run make 
Next, go into the /disk-utils directory and run make mkswap and make fdformat 
Copy mkswap to /sbin 
Copy fdformat to /bin 
Copy mkswap.8 and fdformat.8 to /usr/man/man8 
Next, go into the /fdisk directory and run make fdisk and make cfdisk 
Copy both of these to /sbin 
Copy fdisk.8 and cfdisk.8 to /usr/man/man8 
Next, go into the /login-utils directory and run make agetty 
Copy agetty to /sbin 
Copy agetty.8 to /usr/man/man8 
Next, go into the /mount directory and run make 
Copy mount, umount, swapon, and losetup to /sbin 
Copy all *.8 files to /usr/man/man8 
Next, go into the /sys-utils directory and run make dmesg and make rdev and make ctrlaltdel 
Copy dmesg to /bin and rdev to /sbin and ctrlaltdel to /bin 
Copy all *.8 files to /usr/man/man8 
Create symlinks that link rdev to swapdev, ramsize, vidmode, and rootflags in the /sbin directory 
Next, go into the /text-utils directory and run make more MOREHELPDIR=/usr/share/more (all one line) Copy the more file to /usr/bin Copy the more.1 file to /usr/man/man1 
Do a mkdir /usr/share/more and copy the more.help file there 

Now let's get the clock working: 
Go into the /clock directory and run make hwclock
Copy the hwclock file to /sbin
Copy the hwclock.8 file /usr/man/man8 
Type chmod a=rx,u=s /sbin/hwclock (this sets the UID bit to root) 
Next, type tzselect and follow the prompts to get your timezone information 
Use vi to create the /etc/profile file and add the following in there: 

hwclock --localtime --hctosys TZ='Africa/South_Africa'; export TZ (You substitute the exact wording of the timezone it outputed when you ran tzselect. If you can't read it clearly, that is a semicolon after the quote mark.)
