Installed
libraries: libhistory.[a,so],
and libreadline.[a,so]
The Readline package is a set of libraries that offers command-line editing and history capabilities.
Prepare Readline for compilation:
./configure --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
--prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib
Compile the package:
make SHLIB_XLDFLAGS=-lncurses
The meaning of the make option:
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
