If you are using a 2.1 or newer Linux kernel with the this program; otherwise you do. The source for `pt_chown' is in `login/programs/pt_chown.c'. + After installation you might want to configure the timezone and +locale installation of your system. The GNU C library comes with a +locale database which gets configured with `localedef'. For example, to +set up a German locale with name `de_DE', simply issue the command +`localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE'. To configure all locales +that are supported by glibc, you can issue from your build directory the +command `make localedata/install-locales'. + + To configure the locally used timezone, you can either set the `TZ' +environment variable. The script `tzselect' helps you to select the +right value. As an example for Germany, tzselect would tell you to use +`TZ='Europe/Berlin''. For a system wide installation (the given paths +are for an installation with `--prefix=/usr'), link the timezone file +which is in `/usr/share/zoneinfo' to the file `/etc/localtime'. For +Germany, you might execute `ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin +/etc/localtime'. + Recommended Tools for Compilation ================================= -- 2.47.2
