Readline-8.1
Reference: 8.11. Readline-8.1. Fix the build system:
patch -Np1 -i readline-8.1-bld-20220202.patch
Apply a patch to fix the sources:
patch -Np1 -i readline-8.1-src-20220317.patch
Skip the first step from the book and run configure :
./configure --prefix=/qlnx \
--with-curses \
--disable-install-examples \
--includedir=/qlnx/inc \
--datarootdir=/qlnx/dat \
--mandir=/qlnx/man \
--docdir=/tmp \
--infodir=/tmp
The configure option –with-curses tells readline that it can find the termcap library functions in the curses library, rather than a separate termcap library. It allows generating a correct readline.pc file. The options –docdir and –infodir puts unneeded documentation into /tmp - unfortunately using “ /dev/null ” doesn't work here.
Compile the package:
make SHLIB_LIBS="-lncursesw"
Install the package:
make SHLIB_LIBS="-lncursesw" install
We do not install additional documentation like in the book. Against we remove the unwanted docu in /tmp :
rm /tmp/*
