When you add the +crypt add-on you just have to use + + configure --enable-add-ons=crypt,XXX ... + +where XXX are possible other add-ons and ... means the rest of the +normal option list. + +You can use add-ons also to overwrite some files in glibc. The add-on +system dependent subdirs are search first. It is also possible to add +banner files (use a file named `Banner') or create shared libraries. + +Using add-ons has the big advantage that the makefiles of the GNU libc +can be used. Only some few stub rules must be written to get +everything running. Even handling of architecture dependent +compilation is provided. The GNU libc's sysdeps/ directory shows how +to use this feature. + + ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Answers were given by: -- cgit v1.2.3
