[SOLVED]Compiling glibc from Source

Hi everyone

I compiled UE4 at linux. But it gives errors because it can't load anymore static tls. I researched for that and it turned out, Ubuntu has a limit of 32 static tls while arch has 14. So i downloaded glibc source from here https://github.molgen.mpg.de/git-mirror/glibc and choosed archlinux/2.18/master branch and changed statid tls number as suggested here http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … arch-linux

Then i created a folder glibc-build and from there in terminal runned configure like this ../glibc/configure and it gave e this error

I searched for that also and found this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181719

But couldn't really understand where the .config file is. How can i solve this problem?

Re: [SOLVED]Compiling glibc from Source

Did you note that the last commit on that brach is almost two years ago? If you want to compile a custom version of glibc it's better if you download the source PKGBUILD using ABS and compile it with makepkg.

Re: [SOLVED]Compiling glibc from Source

I should have gone with that at first. My fault.

Thanks for the help.

P.S Now i am confronting a gpg key sign problem. I am not very familiar with gpg and abs which was the reason i didn't choosed to use this method. Can you help me with it? Here is the output

 ==> Making package: glibc 2.21-4 (Mon Jun 29 01:14:02 EEST 2015)

I tried running gpg --recv-keys 25EF0A436C2A4AFF and i get this error "gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available".

Re: [SOLVED]Compiling glibc from Source

You have to tell to gpg what sever it should use, either passing the argument --keyserver on to the commandline (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Import_key) or by specifying the default keyserver in the gpg configuration file (again, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … ation_file).

Re: [SOLVED]Compiling glibc from Source

Ok, i went for the learning abs and gpg route. Solved my problems.

EDIT: Sorry i just saw your post after posting. I was busy reading wiki and articles. Thanks for the help though.
