Detailed below are concrete examples for
|
|
getting the prerequisites for particular systems.
|
|
|
|
- linux - fedora
|
|
|
|
This shows the steps for getting the required tools to build coreutils 7.0
|
|
on a Fedora 8 system. We try to use official packages where possible.
|
|
The 3 methods described for making these required packages available, should
|
|
help clarify build requirements on any linux system at least.
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure offical distro git package is installed
|
|
# yum install git
|
|
|
|
2. The distro autoconf is too old, but there is a newer one available
|
|
so we rebuild that and make it available to the full system:
|
|
# yum install emacs #autoconf build requires emacs (20MB)
|
|
# rpmbuild --rebuild http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/autoconf-2.63-1.fc10.src.rpm
|
|
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/autoconf-2.63-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
|
|
Note Autoconf 2.61a-341 or newer is needed to build automake-1.10b in step 3.
|
|
Apply the same method to install the lzma package.
|
|
[FIXME: mention xz when it's packaged]
|
|
|
|
3. The latest stable automake (1.10.1) was not new enough, so we download
|
|
and build automake-1.10b or newer from its repository and make it available
|
|
just to coreutils:
|
|
# yum install help2man #required to build automake fully
|
|
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/automake.git
|
|
$ cd automake
|
|
$ git checkout --track origin/next -b next
|
|
$ ./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
|
