This gives some notes on obtaining the tools required for development.
I.E. the tools checked for by the bootstrap script and include:
- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
- Bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/>
- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
- Git <http://git.or.cz/>
- Gperf <http://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/>
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
- Perl <http://www.cpan.org/>
- Rsync <http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/>
- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
Note please try to install/build official packages for your system.
If these are not available then one can make them available only to
the coreutils build using the following instructions. Even if the
official packages for your system are too old, please install them
as they may be required to build the newer versions.
* autoconf *
# Note Autoconf 2.62 or newer is needed to build automake-1.11
git clone --depth=1 git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf.git
git checkout v2.62
autoreconf -vi
./configure --prefix=$HOME/coreutils/deps
make install
* automake *
# Note help2man is required to build automake fully
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/automake.git
cd automake
git checkout -b branch-1.11 --track origin/branch-1.11
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=$HOME/coreutils/deps
make install
coreutils uses XZ utils (successor to LZMA) to create
a compressed distribution tarball. Using this feature of Automake
requires version 1.10a or newer, as well as the xz program itself.
* xz *
git clone git://ctrl.tukaani.org/xz.git
cd xz
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME/coreutils/deps
make install
Now we can build coreutils as described in README-hacking
as long as $PATH starts with $HOME/coreutils/deps/bin, which
one can set for the current shell like:
$ export PATH=$HOME/coreutils/deps/bin:$PATH
