This is GNU tar.
|
||
|
||
This is a *pre-release* version, and not ready for production use yet.
|
||
Please send comments and problem reports to <bug-tar@gnu.org>.
|
||
|
||
If you have taken the sources from CVS you will need the following
|
||
packages (or later) to build GNU tar. We don't make any extra effort
|
||
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/>
|
||
- Bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/>
|
||
- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
|
||
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
|
||
- M4 <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
|
||
- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo>
|
||
- Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
|
||
|
||
As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
|
||
suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
|
||
|
||
Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
|
||
Valgrind supports your architecture.
|
||
|
||
Before building the package, run "bootstrap". It will obtain gnulib
|
||
and paxutils files from their Git repositories on Savannah. Then, it will
|
||
fetch the po files from tar page at Translation Project, and, finally, it
|
||
will start autoconfiguration process. Simply running bootstrap without
|
||
arguments should do in most cases.
|
||
|
||
Bootstrap reads its configuration from file bootstrap.conf located on the
|
||
top of tar source tree. Several options are provided that modify its
|
||
behavior. Run 'bootstrap --help' for a list.
