That covers the bootstrap prereqs. If you are starting from a release tarball, the installation prereqs are much smaller; basically, you only need the bare minimum of tools specified in the GNU Coding Standards: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/standards.html#Utilities-in-Makefiles | The configure script and the Makefile rules for building and | installation should not use any utilities directly except these: | | awk cat cmp cp diff echo egrep expr false grep install-info | ln ls mkdir mv pwd rm rmdir sed sleep sort tar test touch tr true http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/standards.html#Install-Command-Categories | Pre-installation and post-installation commands should not run any | programs except for these: | | [ basename bash cat chgrp chmod chown cmp cp dd diff echo | egrep expand expr false fgrep find getopt grep gunzip gzip | hostname install install-info kill ldconfig ln ls md5sum | mkdir mkfifo mknod mv printenv pwd rm rmdir sed sort tee | test touch true uname xargs yes (of which many of them can in fact provided by the just-built coreutils) - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
