%general-entities; ]> Readline Prepare Readline for compilation: ./configure --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \ --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib Compile the package: make SHLIB_XLDFLAGS=-lncurses SHLIB_XLDFLAGS=-lncurses This option forces Readline to link against the libncurses library. Install the package: make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install Give Readline's dynamic libraries more appropriate permissions: chmod -v 755 ${CLFS}/lib/lib{readline,history}.so* Now move the static libraries to a more appropriate location: mv -v ${CLFS}/lib/lib{readline,history}.a ${CLFS}/usr/lib Next, remove the .so files in /lib and relink them into /usr/lib. rm -v ${CLFS}/lib/lib{readline,history}.so ln -svf ../../lib/libreadline.so.5 ${CLFS}/usr/lib/libreadline.so ln -svf ../../lib/libhistory.so.5 ${CLFS}/usr/lib/libhistory.so Installed libraries libhistory.[a,so], and libreadline.[a,so] Short Descriptions libhistory Provides a consistent user interface for recalling lines of history libhistory libreadline Aids in the consistency of user interface across discrete programs that need to provide a command line interface libreadline
