Introduction to ISO Codes

The ISO Codes package contains a list of country, language and currency names and it is used as a central database for accessing this data.

Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Package Information

Installation of ISO Codes

Install ISO Codes by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install LN_S='ln -sfn'

Command Explanations

LN_S='ln -sfn': This override ensures the installed symlinks correctly recreated in case we are upgrading or reinstalling the package. It's unneeded but harmless when installing the package onto the system for the first time.
