The so-called "optional documentation" actually contains nothing more
than the HTML documentations generated by makeinfo --html. So just stop
downloading it.
A change in texinfo-7.0 has actually break makeinfo --html of zsh, but
the issue was hidden due to the inclusion of the "optional
documentation". Use a sed to correct it.
Do not put zsh.txt and zsh.html info the Doc directory, or they'll be
installed to /usr/share/doc/zsh-5.9/html by make install.html.
Also install the FAQ of zsh.
Like rustc. Move the unset command out of the <screen> for
installation because if we use sudo --preserve-env=PATH_PY311 -s for a
shell as root to install the package, "unset PATH_PY311" will only
unset it in this shell, not the shell building the package.
Also fix a grammar issue in rustc, and unset LIBSSH2_SYS_USE_PKG_CONFIG
after installing rustc too.
To do this I've created build_fixes-2.patch. This contains:
- Fix for shipped ffmpeg build failure
- Fixes for Python 3.11 changes
- Changes for ICU-74, but modified to allow building on previous
versions of BLFS and their versions of ICU
- The NINJAJOBS change
- Chunks from a patch from ArchLinux32 to prevent instantaneous crashes
in Falkon. Still causes issues with text rendering, so I've created a
note in the Falkon page. However, video playback and images display
perfectly. I will revisit this in February once we have the new glibc.
Unlike previous issues, it no longer crashes, so that's a good start!
This significantly brings down the count of instructions for this page
and should make it a lot easier to follow.
I've tested this on both x86_64 and i686. On i686 there's a major
improvement in that Falkon (and KDE System Monitor) actually start and
run, though in the case of Falkon there is still no text.
Well, we generally do not like an update of "a part of the package",
esp. in this case we are doing an unversioned update. This makes the
book unstable, i.e. if a user executes this command a month after the
release of the book (s)he may get different results. And I don't think
it's a good idea to make vim &build-use-internet;.
And when we update vim to a new version (from 9.0.2103 to 9.0.2189 for
example), "make install" would already update the runtime files to
9.0.2189.
So just make the runtime update command nodump and move rsync to
optional.
Presently, we do "ln -s libreoffice-<version> /opt/libreoffice"
but we use $LO_PREFIX everywhere else. So if $LO_PREFIX is not
equal to libreoffice-<version>, the symlink is broken. Use
"ln -s $LO_PREFIX /opt/libreoffice instead".
Also remove an unnecessary 'rm' command for SysV systems, which removes
systemd units. This is already taken care of by a sed to Makefile.in
earlier in the page
The mach of seamonkey is more nasty than FF or TB :(.
Q: Why not just export PATH=/opt/python3.11/bin:$PATH?
A: This will be too easy forgetting to unset it. And an explicit
PATH=$PATH_PY311 also helps sudo (sudo PATH=$PATH_PY311 mach install
will work perfectly fine, but export PATH=$PATH_PY311; sudo ... won't
work as sudo will reset $PATH).
