* README-prereq: It wasn't obvious that the $PATH should be set before building any of the prerequisite packages, so move that information up.

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. The examples
|
|
below build into $HOME/coreutils/deps/, so first ensure that your
|
|
$PATH is set correctly, which can be done for the current shell like:
|
|
|
|
export PATH=$HOME/coreutils/deps/bin:$PATH
|
|
|
|
* autoconf *
|
|
|
|
# Note Autoconf 2.62 or newer is needed to build automake-1.11
|
|
git clone --depth=1 git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf.git
|
|
git checkout v2.62
|
|
autoreconf -vi
|
|
./configure --prefix=$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 one can build coreutils as described in README-hacking.
