Go to the page linked above, and download the patches: You can’t use wget as follows:īecause at least for this mirror, the robots.txt file disallows using wget. Rsync -av rsync:///slackware/slackware64-14.1/source/l/glibc Downloads/slackware/source/l/.īut you can also just right-click and save every file if you want. (Of course, if you’re using a different mirror, the first bit with “” would change)īecause I like rsync, and because the mirrors support rsync, I used that to download the source directory: For 64-bit Slackware (what I’m using) I went to.

For 32-bit slackware, they are located at. Next using a browser, navigate around the source tree to find what you’re looking for-in this case, glibc sources. I went to the slackware main site and picked a mirror from the list at. Slackware is available from a number of locations. The first step is to get the source code you need to compile. Download the Slackware glibc source directory What makes it so easy is that Slackware uses build scripts for each package, and these scripts are included when you download the slackware sources. So I was inspired to write this post because in fact applying diff patches to glibc in Slackware is actually fairly easy (on a scale of 1 being download a binary and 10 being compile and install glibc from scratch, I’d put it at a 3)
#How to install glibc on slackware Patch
Today I refreshed that page to see if anything else new was happening on that bug, and there was a comment that applying a diff patch was difficult to do. Yesterday I recompiled glibc with a few diff patches from the helpful post on linux questions here. So the following is only to be used as a general howto, not as specific instructions. Right after posting this, of course the official patched binaries hit the internet:
