Introduction to libtirpc

The libtirpc package contains libraries that support programs that use the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) API. It replaces the RPC, but not the NIS library entries that used to be in glibc.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.0 platform.

Installation of libtirpc

Glibc-2.14 and later do not install NIS and RPC related headers by default. If needed, install them here: 

if [ ! -r /usr/include/rpc/rpc.h ]; then
   tar -xvf ../rpcnis-headers.tar.bz2 -C /usr/include
fi

Install libtirpc by running the following commands: 

patch -Np1 -i ../libtirpc-0.2.2-remove-nis-2.patch &&
autoreconf &&
./configure --prefix=/usr CFLAGS="-fPIC" &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
mv -v /usr/lib/libtirpc.so.* /lib &&
ln -sfv ../../lib/libtirpc.so.1.0.10 /usr/lib/libtirpc.so

Command Explanations

mv -v /usr/lib/libtirpc.so.* ...: Move shared libraries into /lib so they are available before /usr is mounted.

Contents
