* autogen.sh, autopull.sh, bootstrap-funclib.sh: New files, copied from gnulib/top. * bootstrap: Copy from gnulib/top/bootstrap (as opposed to copying from gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap, as we used to). * bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_post_pull_hook) (bootstrap_post_import_hook): New functions. Move commands into these functions as needed.

These notes intend to help people working on the Git version of
|
||
this package.
|
||
|
||
* Requirements
|
||
|
||
You need the following packages to build the Git version of GNU
|
||
tar. We do not make any efforts to accommodate older versions of
|
||
these packages, so please make sure that you have the latest stable
|
||
version.
|
||
|
||
- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
|
||
- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
|
||
- M4 <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
|
||
- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo>
|
||
- Git <http://git.or.cz>
|
||
|
||
Up-to-date compilers and libraries are also recommended, for better
|
||
static checking. You may be able to use an older compiler by building
|
||
with 'make WERROR_CFLAGS='; if so, don't worry about its false alarms.
|
||
|
||
* Bootstrapping
|
||
|
||
Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to clone
|
||
tar from Git. The next step is to get other files needed to build,
|
||
which are extracted from other source packages:
|
||
|
||
1. Change to the source tree directory
|
||
|
||
cd tar
|
||
|
||
2. Run
|
||
|
||
./bootstrap
|
||
|
||
Once done, proceed as described in the file README (section
|
||
INSTALLATION).
|
||
|
||
Normally you will have to run bootstrap only once. However, if you
|
||
intend to hack on GNU tar, you might need to run it again later.
|
||
There are lots of options that you may find useful in this case.
|
||
See 'bootstrap --help' for a detailed list.
|
||
|
||
To only fetch auxiliary files from the network, run ./autopull.sh.
|
||
To only generate files such as 'configure', without accessing the
|
||
network, run ./autogen.sh. The 'bootstrap' script does both.
