Coreutils/scripts/autotools-install

#!/bin/sh
VERSION='2017-09-19 07:31' # UTC

# Building coreutils from a git-cloned directory may require versions of
# tools like autoconf, automake, gettext, etc. that are newer than the ones
# provided by the distribution on which you want to build.  In that case,
# you can use this script to bootstrap the "autotools" tool chain, starting
# with m4 (prereq of autoconf), then autoconf (prereq of automake), etc.
# It also builds a few others, including gettext and pkg-config.
# The results are installed in a directory whose --prefix you specify, and
# it tells you how to update envvars like PATH and (if you use pkg-config)
# PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

# On principle, I find it best to ensure that packages I care about work
# with the latest versions of all of these tools.  While these tools are
# paragons of portability, you should ensure that recent distribution
# versions work, too.

# Written by Jim Meyering

# For systems with limited/botched make (the case of most vendor makes!),
# allow the user to override it.

Usage: $0 [OPTION]...
Download, build, and install some tools.

Options:
 --prefix=PREFIX    install tools under specified directory
 --skip-check       do not run \"make check\" (this can save 50+ min)
 --help             display this help and exit

For example, to install programs into \$HOME/autotools/bin, run this command:

  $prog_name --prefix=\$HOME/autotools

If you've already verified that your system/environment can build working
versions of these tools, you can make this script complete in just a
minute or two (rather than about an hour if you let all \"make check\"
tests run) by invoking it like this:

  $prog_name --prefix=\$HOME/autotools --skip-check
