I'm having difficulty building glibc. First, it wouldn't find linuxthreads even tho I specified --enable-add-ons So I specified the linuxthreads directory but then it couldn't find a header file in the linuxthreads directory. (After a rather long and tortuous set of nested includes) Finally, I moved the linuxthreads directory to be a subdirectory of the head of the glibc tree. Now --enable-add-ons worked without giving a directory but I got the message TLS required I tried again adding --with-tls to the configure options and now I get (after make) version GLIBC 2.3.3 not defined for libpthread Since this is version 2.3.2 and is supposed to be the latest, the error is a bit baffling.
The source is from a debian source package so I also tried dpkg-deb -b glibc-2.3.2 First time it said no DEBIAN sub-dir Well duh. It has a "debian" sub-dir Up cased debian and tried again. This time says error at line 9 no package name, tho I didn't write it down. So did I miss some essential step or is it supposed to be this difficult? Richard Harke
