%general-entities; ]> Mktemp Many scripts still use the deprecated tempfile program, which has functionality similar to mktemp. Patch Mktemp to include a tempfile wrapper: patch -Np1 -i ../&mktemp-tempfile-patch; The following sed removes -s from the install command which will try to strip the installed files: cp Makefile.in{,.orig} sed -e 's/-s $(PROG)/$(PROG)/' Makefile.in.orig > Makefile.in Prepare Mktemp for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libc --host=${CLFS_TARGET} --with-libc This causes the mktemp program to use the mkstemp and mkdtemp functions from the system C library. Compile the package: make Install the package: make prefix=${CLFS}/usr install make prefix=${CLFS}/usr install-tempfile Installed programs mktemp and tempfile Short Descriptions mktemp Creates temporary files in a secure manner; it is used in scripts mktemp tempfile Creates temporary files in a less secure manner than mktemp; it is installed for backwards-compatibility tempfile
