Base Reference GNU/Linux Build Sequence

Source code is available here.

To compile and install, run these commands:

cd /sources/  &&
rm -rf readline-6.0 &&
tar -xzf readline-6.0.tar.gz &&
cd readline-6.0 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib &&
make SHLIB_LIBS=-lncurses &&
make install &&
mv -v /lib/lib{readline,history}.a /usr/lib &&
rm -v /lib/lib{readline,history}.so &&
ln -sfv ../../lib/libreadline.so.5 /usr/lib/libreadline.so &&
ln -sfv ../../lib/libhistory.so.5 /usr/lib/libhistory.so &&
cd /sources/  &&
rm -rf readline-6.0

The output should look something like this:

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
