A lot of this is converting http: to https:. Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and are not easy to figure out what they were. Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.

|
|
Note please try to install/build official packages for your system.
|
|
If these programs are not available use the following instructions
|
|
to build them and install the results into a directory that you will
|
|
then use when building this package.
|
|
|
|
Even if the official version of a package for your system is too old,
|
|
please install it, as it may be required to build the newer versions.
|
|
The examples below install into $HOME/coreutils/deps/, so if you are
|
|
going to follow these instructions, first ensure that your $PATH is
|
|
set correctly by running this command:
|
|
|
|
prefix=$HOME/coreutils/deps
|
|
export PATH=$prefix/bin:$PATH
|
|
|
|
* autoconf *
|
|
|
|
# Note Autoconf 2.62 or newer is needed to build automake-1.11.2
|
|
# but we specify 2.64 here as that's what coreutils requires.
|
|
# Please use the latest stable release version as indicated by git tags.
|
|
git clone --depth=1 git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf.git
|
|
cd autoconf
|
|
git checkout v2.64
|
|
autoreconf -vi
|
|
./configure --prefix=$prefix
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
* automake *
|
|
|
|
# Note help2man is required to build automake fully
|
|
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/automake.git
|
|
cd automake
|
|
git checkout v1.11.2
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
./configure --prefix=$prefix
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
This package 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=$prefix
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Now you can build this package as described in README-hacking.
