6.42.5. Contents of GDBM
Installed programs:
gdbm_dump, gdbm_load, and gdbmtool
Installed libraries:
libgdbm.{a,so} and
libgdbm_compat.{a,so}
The GDBM package contains the GNU Database Manager. It is a library of database functions that use extensible hashing and work similar to the standard UNIX dbm. The library provides primitives for storing key/data pairs, searching and retrieving the data by its key and deleting a key along with its data.
Prepare GDBM for 32-bit compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-libgdbm-compat \
--libdir=/usr/lib32 \
CC="gcc -m32"
The meaning of the configure option:
--enable-libgdbm-compat
This switch enables the libgdbm compatibility library to be built, as some packages outside of LFS may require the older DBM routines it provides.
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue:
make check
Install the package:
make install
Clean up the build directory before moving on to the next platform:
make clean
Prepare GDBM for x32 ABI compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-libgdbm-compat \
--libdir=/usr/libx32 \
CC="gcc -mx32"
The meaning of the configure option:
--enable-libgdbm-compat

Clean up the build directory before moving on to the next platform:
make clean
Prepare GDBM for 64-bit compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-libgdbm-compat
