These notes intend to help people working on the checked-out sources.
|
|
These requirements do not apply when building from a distribution tarball.
|
|
|
|
* Requirements
|
|
|
|
We've opted to keep only the highest-level sources in the GIT repository.
|
|
This eases our maintenance burden, (fewer merges etc.), but imposes more
|
|
requirements on anyone wishing to build from the just-checked-out sources.
|
|
For example, you have to use the latest stable versions of the maintainer
|
|
tools we depend upon, including:
|
|
|
|
- Autoconf 2.60+ <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
|
|
- Automake 1.10+ <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
|
|
- Help2man 1.29+ <http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/>
|
|
- M4 1.4.5+ <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
|
|
- Perl 5.005_03+ <http://www.cpan.org/>
|
|
- Texinfo 4.8+ <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
|
|
|
|
The following are useful as well, if you want to be able to run commands
|
|
like "make dist" or "make distcheck":
|
|
|
|
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
|
|
- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
|
|
|
|
Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful.
|
|
Later, a plain `git pull && make' should be sufficient.
|
|
|
|
* First GIT checkout
|
|
|
|
You can get a copy of the source repository like this:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf
|
|
|
|
The next step is to generate files like configure and Makefile.in:
|
|
|
|
$ cd autoconf
|
|
$ autoreconf -vi
|
|
|
|
Since we're building autoconf itself, and its tests are picky, the
|
|
following procedure includes an extra step to ensure that some
|
|
generated files are regenerated using the tools just build by "make":
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ ( PATH=`pwd`/tests:$PATH; autoreconf -vi )
|
|
$ make check
|
|
|
|
At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
|
|
and the GIT master copy:
|
|
|
|
$ git diff
|
|
|
|
should output no difference.
|
|
|
|
You may find it useful to install the git-merge-changelog merge driver:
|
|
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=lib/git-merge-changelog.c
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
