Updateing Glibc for linux compatibility ( for CS )

[goat]

I have had to search for this info so now its here.

the exact info is outdated, but it still gets the point across

FreeBSD + Glibc 2.1.3 (pb resolved)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) I use FreeBSD 4.4 like many as you.
2) I use metamod

In this case, I can run CS server with adminmod 2.50.11 beta, but, with jedinocheat, we got a pb.

This plugin use an admin_MM2.i386.so compiled in 2.1.3 (not compatible with our BSD Glibc 2.1.2)

So, I will explain now How to do for run this lib on BSD.
(We know that /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-7 is buggy)

1) We need to download glibc-2.1.3 from redhat.
get this one and put it in /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/upda...1.3-22.i386.rpm
Take the md5 of this file, like this

md5 glibc-2.1.3-22.i386.rpm
You'll get something like that -> MD5 (rpm/glibc-2.1.3-22.i386.rpm) = b841df797bf42585476f30b1ba489e30 (don't take mine, use yours)

2) Go to linux_base in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base
In this dir, edit Makefile and do that

#RPM_GLIBC= glibc-2.1.2-11.i386.rpm
RPM_GLIBC= glibc-2.1.3-22.i386.rpm
save.

Edit distinfo.i386

remove glibc 2.1.2 line and put glibc 2.1.3 line (md5 line)
save

Now, make install .....

have fun with your glibc 2.1.3 on FreeBSD 4.4

Fred.
