HOWTO: binutils
Description: Various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc.
Click here for ChangeLog
NOTE: I use GNU tar >= 1.13.25 so it's -j for .tar.bz2 files,
it's safe to assume that make, gcc, binutils, fileutils/coreutils, gawk, sed, and grep are prerequisites for almost everything
# binutils
# ========
# Slackware 11.0: binutils 2.15.92.0.2
# Slackware 12.0, 12.1: binutils 2.17.50.0.17
# Slackware 12.2: binutils 2.18.50.0.9
# If you use kernel 2.4.16 or less you should probably use binutils
# 2.11.92.0.10 I no longer have access to anything that old, so I can't
# verify whether or not newer versions work with it.
#
# If you use Slackware 7.1 or less, add "LIBS=-lintl" to the beginning
# of the configure line that you use.
# In the past there have been two slightly different home pages for
# binutils, but as I write this, they're the same:
# http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/
# http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/
# I pass --disable-nls to configure below because I'm in the US and only
# read/write English (well). If this is not the case for you, leave that
# off below.
# binutils 2.19.1 - latest stable
# ===============
# Prerequisites:
# itself (you need as, ranlib, etc. to build this)
