hi -
I'm running Fedora 1 (kernel 2.4.22) with gcc 3.3.2 on it. I downloaded the Redhat source RPM (glibc-2.3.2-4.80.8.src.rpm). I'm planning to compile from this source as I need to modify certain parts of glibc for experimental purposes. When I unpack the RPM, I get:
glibc-2.3.2-20030312.tar.bz2 glibc-redhat-20030312.tar.bz2 nptl-20030312.tar.bz2 and 39 patches.
I rarely use RPMs, and until now, I directly installed files without having to compile. I have two questions. Would the SRPM for Redhat 8.0 work fine on my Fedora? (it's the only one on Redhat's website).
What should I do with these 39 patches? How do I apply the patches? How do I use the files generated after untarring glibc-redhat-20030312.tar.bz2? Any ideas or helpful links would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ozgun.
