These notes intend to help people working on the checked-out sources.
These requirements do not apply when building from a distribution tarball.
* Requirements
We've opted to keep only the highest-level sources in the GIT repository.
This eases our maintenance burden, (fewer merges etc.), but imposes more
requirements on anyone wishing to build from the just-checked-out sources.
Specific tools and versions will be checked for and listed by the
bootstrap script shown below, and will include:
- 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/>
- Git <http://git.or.cz/>
- Gperf <http://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/>
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
- Perl <http://www.cpan.org/>
- Rsync <http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/>
- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
While building from a just-cloned source tree may require installing a
few prerequisites, later, a plain `git pull && make' should be sufficient.
- Valgrind
Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
Valgrind supports your architecture.
- XZ utils (successor to LZMA)
This package's build procedure uses XZ to create a compressed
distribution tarball. Using this feature of Automake requires
version 1.10a or newer, as well as the xz program itself.
Make sure you have the latest version of the XZ Utils from
<http://tukaani.org/xz/>
While building from a just-cloned source tree may require installing a
few prerequisites, later, a plain `git pull && make' should be sufficient.
* First GIT checkout
You can get a copy of the source repository like this:
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/idutils
$ cd idutils
The next step is to get and check other files needed to build,
which are extracted from other source packages:
$ ./bootstrap
And there you are! Just
$ ./configure #[--enable-gcc-warnings]
$ make
$ make check
At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
and the GIT master copy:
$ git diff
should output no difference.
Enjoy!
