Installation of GDBM from the Linux from Scratch by OnWorks

6.36.1. Installation of GDBM

Prepare GDBM for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr

\

./configure --prefix=/usr

--disable-static \

--enable-libgdbm-compat

--disable-static \

--enable-libgdbm-compat

The meaning of the configure option:

--enable-libgdbm-compat

This switch enables the libgdbm compatibility library to be built, as some packages outside of LFS may require the older DBM routines it provides.

Compile the package:

make

To test the results, issue:

make check

Install the package:

make install
