Dependencies

Optional

Non-Multilib

If desired, apply the Heimdal patch (note that with this patch the original library is not affected; this patch only creates an additional library used by the Heimdal password-checking routines):

patch -Np1 -i ../cracklib-2.8.9-heimdal-1.patch

Configure and compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr -with-default-dict=/lib/cracklib/pw_dict &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut  -f2 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut -f1 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib &&
ln -sf ../../lib/$LIBNAME /usr/lib/libcrack.so

Install the dictionary:

install -m644 -D ../cracklib-words.gz /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words.gz
gunzip -f /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words.gz
ln -sf cracklib-words /usr/share/dict/words
install -m755 -d /lib/cracklib
create-cracklib-dict /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words /usr/share/dict/cracklib-extra-words 

Multilib

If desired, apply the Heimdal patch (note that with this patch the original library is not affected; this patch only creates an additional library used by the Heimdal password-checking routines):

patch -Np1 -i ../cracklib-2.8.9-heimdal-1.patch

32Bit

Configure and compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" USE_ARCH=32 ./configure --prefix=/usr -with-default-dict=/lib/cracklib/pw_dict &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut -f2 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut -f1 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib &&
ln -sf ../../lib/$LIBNAME /usr/lib/libcrack.so

N32

Configure and compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" USE_ARCH=n32 ./configure --prefix=/usr \
  --libdir=/usr/lib32 -with-default-dict=/lib/cracklib/pw_dict &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut -f2 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib32 &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut -f1 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib32 &&
ln -sf ../../lib/$LIBNAME /usr/lib32/libcrack.so

64Bit

Configure and compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN64}" USE_ARCH=64 ./configure --prefix=/usr \
  --libdir=/usr/lib64 -with-default-dict=/lib/cracklib/pw_dict &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut -f2 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib64 &&
LIBNAME=`cat lib/libcrack.la | grep library_names | cut -f2 -d"'" | cut -f1 -d" "` &&
mv /usr/lib/$LIBNAME /lib64 &&
ln -sf ../../lib/$LIBNAME /usr/lib64/libcrack.so

Install the dictionary:

install -m644 -D ../cracklib-words.gz /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words.gz
gunzip -f /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words.gz
ln -sf cracklib-words /usr/share/dict/words
install -m755 -d /lib/cracklib
create-cracklib-dict /usr/share/dict/cracklib-words /usr/share/dict/cracklib-extra-words
