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/>
|
|
- 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 obtains various
|
|
additional files from the CVS repository and the Translation Project
|
|
site and prepares the source directory for building.
|
|
|
|
When run without arguments, bootstrap will try to obtain gnulib and
|
|
paxutils files from their corresponding CVS repositories on Savannah
|
|
using anonymous SSH access. Then, it will fetch the po files from tar
|
|
page at Translation Project, and, finally, it will start autoconfiguration
|
|
process. Simply running it without arguments should do in most cases.
|
|
Several options allow to control the behavior of bootstrap:
|
|
|
|
--gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME Specify the local directory where gnulib
|
|
sources reside. Use this if you already
|
|
have gnulib sources on your machine, and
|
|
do not want to waste your bandwidth dowloading
|
|
them again.
|
|
|
|
--paxutils-srcdir=DIRNAME Specify the local directory where paxutils
|
|
sources reside. Use this if you already
|
|
have paxutils sources on your machine, and
|
|
do not want to waste your bandwidth dowloading
|
|
them again.
|
|
|
|
--cvs-auth=METHOD Set the CVS access method used for downloading
|
|
gnulib files. METHOD is one of the keywords
|
|
accepted by cvs -d option (see info cvs
|
|
repository).
|
|
|
|
--cvs-user=USERNAME Set the CVS username to be used when accessing
|
|
the gnulib repository.
|
|
|
|
--no-po Do not download po files.
|
|
|
|
Notice also that when using CVS authentication method "ext", bootstrap
|
|
will set the variable CVS_RSH to "ssh", unless it is already set to
|
|
some other value.
