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. If we discover that
|
|
newer versions are needed to bootstrap, we'll update the version
|
|
numbers in this list.
|
|
|
|
autoconf 2.57
|
|
automake 1.7.5
|
|
bison 1.875
|
|
gettext 0.12.1
|
|
m4 1.4
|
|
wget 1.7
|
|
|
|
For GNU m4 1.4, we recommend also installing the `translit' patch; see
|
|
Debian bug 211477 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=211477>.
|
|
This patch is bundled into Debian m4 1.4-17 or later.
|
|
|
|
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. The exact way
|
|
of invoking bootstrap depends on whether you have the sources for gnulib
|
|
installed somewhere on your system and on the method you use to access
|
|
the CVS at savannah.
|
|
|
|
If you already have gnulib sources on your machine, run:
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, if you have developer's access to savannah:
|
|
|
|
a) if you access CVS via ssh, set the environment variable CVS_RSH
|
|
to ssh and run ./bootstrap without arguments.
|
|
|
|
b) if you access CVS via Kerberos, run
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap --cvs-auth=gserver
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, if you are not a member of Savannah, run
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap --cvs-auth=pserver
|
|
|
|
When prompted for a password for anoncvs, simply press the Enter key.
