Raw Normal View History

Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc. * README-cvs: New file. * bootstrap: New file. * bootstrap.conf: New file. * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po. * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit of gnulib-tool. (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL): (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib. (gl_EARLY): Add. (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity. * src/c99-to-c98.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed. * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl. * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves. * src/wc.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file. * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls. * src/su.c: Include getpass.h. (getpass): remove. * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h. Include inttypes.h unconditionally; remove decls it handles. * lib/Makefile.am: include gnulib.mk, so that we can remove most of this file. (AM_CPPFLAGS): Don't mention -I$(srcdir), since that's now done for us. (noinst_LIBRARIES, LDDADD, DEFS): Remove. (libcoreutils_a_SOURCES): Trim down greatly, just to the files that aren't in gnulib. Remove defns gnulib does for us. * m4/check-decl.m4 (gl_CHECK_DECLS): Don't include stdio.h, string.h, stdlib.h, unistd.h, sys/time.h, time.h. Use AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE for free, getenv, geteuid, getlogin, getuid, lseek, malloc, memchr, realloc. Don't check for getutent, memrchr, nanosleep, stpcpy, strndup, strnlen, strstr, strtoul, strtoull. (_gl_DECL_HEADERS): Remove; all uses removed. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_MACROS): Move AC_PREREQ into configure.ac for the benefit of gnulib-tool. Call gl_INIT. Do not call or require macros that gnulib will handle for us. Don't check for fchmod, hasmntopt, isascii, lchown, listmntent, mempcpy, realpath, wcrtomb, tzset. (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Don't check for sys/statvfs.h, sys/vfs.h, sys/mount.h. (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT. Don't check for struct stat.st_blksize. Don't require AC_STRUCT_ST_DM_MODE, gt_TYPE_SSIZE_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINT32_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINTPTR_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG. * m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Require gl_FUNC_XFTS, gl_ROOT_DEV_INO. Don't require macros that gnulib does for us. * m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Don't check for sys/sysmacros.h. Don't check for statvfs. Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE for netinet/in.h, nfs/nfs_clnt.h, nfs/vfs.h. Don't require gl_AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG, gt_HEADER_INTTYPES_H.

These notes intend to help people working on the CVS version of
this package.
* Requirements
Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the
maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to get the latest
stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including:
- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
- Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
Valgrind supports your architecture.
Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.
* First CVS checkout
Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
this package from CVS. The next step is to get other files needed to
build, which are extracted from other source packages:
$ ./bootstrap
And there you are! Just
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check
At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
and the CVS master copy:
$ cvs diff
should output no difference.
Enjoy!
