 |
|
while watching the bootstrap of the 1.4-stage1 I wonder:
building glibc creates a lot of Locale files (or how they are called) for thousands of Languages. I need only english and perhaps german. Is there some way to limit the number of locales that get build?
and gcc builds a few language modules which I probably don't need: i.e java (building that takes ages to finish ...) Is there a way to disable some languages in the bootstrap process?

You can USE="-nls" to lose them all, but AFAIK Gentoo does not have a way to specify just a few. Debian does; maybe we could steal their method. I don't remember how complicated the Debian locale stuff was offhand, though.

You would think that USE="-java" would stop gcj from getting built, but the last time I built GCC (3.1-r6, I think), it didn't. Whoops. I'm looking at the 3.2 ebuild now, and it looks like USE="-java" will indeed now stop gcj from getting built, so that's the cleanest way to do that.
The first time gcc gets compiled in the bootstrap process, it only builds the C compiler. To hack the ebuild to eliminate languages on your installation by hand, look at the --enable-languages line in the configure call and the ${gcc_lang} variable in the ebuild.

that was quick 
thanks, I'll check that out
now I'm wondering:
would recompiling glibc with -nls remove already installed locales?

Try This one
It's about installing libc with just 1 locale. |

On the same topic - I see in the ebuild the IUSE line at the top:
IUSE: "nls pic build"
If I specifice a "-nls" in my make.conf will it get overwritten by the IUSE flags? The reason I'm doing this is because I can't compile glibc without it erroring out on a locale file and since I don't need it anyway - why use it?
Thanks |
