These notes intend to help people working on the checked-out sources.
|
|
These requirements do not apply when building from a distribution tarball.
|
|
See also HACKING for more detailed coreutils contribution guidelines.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
Note the requirements to build the released archive are much less and
|
|
are just the requirements of the standard ./configure && make procedure.
|
|
Specific development tools and versions will be checked for and listed by
|
|
the bootstrap script. See README-prereq for specific notes on obtaining
|
|
these prerequisite tools.
|
|
|
|
Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
|
|
Valgrind supports your architecture. See also README-valgrind.
|
|
|
|
While building from a just-cloned source tree may require installing a
|
|
few prerequisites, 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/coreutils
|
|
$ cd coreutils
|
|
|
|
The next step is to get and check other files needed to build,
|
|
which are extracted from other source packages:
|
|
|
|
$ ./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
And there you are! Just
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure #[--enable-gcc-warnings]
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ 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.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
