- Hello all linuxers,
-
- Would any wise guy to summarize what should be done (in steps) to get
- gcc 2.3.3 & libc.so.4.2 installed? I saw numerous articles about this
- tough exercise! But I (and possibly many others) am still not brave
- and confident enough to jump into this new world, especially the story
- of cannot login if some steps are missing!
-
- Would you mind to tell what binaries will not work anymore if I install
- libc.so.4.2 and if possible what's the remedy? I know, I can grap the
- source code and recompile, but I don't have the space to get every
- source code in /bin, /usr/bin, /etc and it shouldn't like this, right?
- I can do some recompile, just like to know in advance what should I
- expect to do in order to use the new compiler and library.
-
- I heard about using emacs to edit binary files, is it the only method?
- I feel very uneasy in using a text editor to change bits and bytes in
- binaries! But if it has to be, would you mind to give instructions
- clearly about what steps should be done?
-
- Okay, I'm using SLS with a self compiled 0.99pl2 kernel and thanks
- Peter for your work with SLS. Will you put gcc 2.3.3 and lib 4.2 into
- SLS shortly?
