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>
|
|
- Gnulib <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib>
|
|
- Git <http://git.or.cz>

|
* 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. In
|
|
this case, you will probably want to save some time and bandwidth by
|
|
avoiding downloading the same files again. If so, create in GNU tar
|
|
root directory the file named `.bootstrap' with the following
|
|
contents:
|
|
|
|
--gnulib-srcdir=$HOME/gnulib
|
|
|
|
Replace `$HOME/gnulib' with the actual directory where the Gnulib
|
|
sources reside.
|
|
|
|
For more information about `bootstrap', run `bootstrap --help'.
