Details on this package are located in Section 8.73.2, “Contents of Util-linux.”
The Util-linux package contains miscellaneous utility programs.
The FHS recommends using the /var/lib/hwclock
directory instead of the usual
/etc
directory as the location for
the adjtime
file. Create this
directory with:
mkdir -pv /var/lib/hwclock
Prepare Util-linux for compilation:
./configure ADJTIME_PATH=/var/lib/hwclock/adjtime \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/util-linux-2.36.2 \ --disable-chfn-chsh \ --disable-login \ --disable-nologin \ --disable-su \ --disable-setpriv \ --disable-runuser \ --disable-pylibmount \ --disable-static \ --without-python \ runstatedir=/run
The meaning of the configure options:
ADJTIME_PATH=/var/lib/hwclock/adjtime
This sets the location of the file recording information about the hardware clock in accordance to the FHS. This is not stricly needed for this temporary tool, but it prevents creating a file at another location, which would not be overwritten or removed when building the final util-linux package.
--disable-*
These switches prevent warnings about building components that require packages not in LFS or not installed yet.
--without-python
This switch disables using Python. It avoids trying to build unneeded bindings.
runstatedir=/run
This switch sets the location of the socket used by
uuidd and
libuuid
correctly.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
