With Fedora 11 and Fedora 8 long time obsolete, I think update of README-prereq is due. Suggested patch is attached.

This shows the steps for getting the required tools to build coreutils 7.0
- on a Fedora 8 system. We try to use official packages where possible.
+ on a Fedora 11 system. We try to use official packages where possible.
The 3 methods described for making these required packages available, should
help clarify build requirements on any GNU/Linux system at least.
1. Make sure offical distro git package is installed
# yum install git
- 2. The distro autoconf is too old, but there is a newer one available
- so we rebuild that and make it available to the full system:
- # yum install emacs #autoconf build requires emacs (20MB)
- # rpmbuild --rebuild http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/autoconf-2.63-1.fc10.src.rpm
- # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/autoconf-2.63-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
- Note Autoconf 2.61a-341 or newer is needed to build automake-1.10b in step 3.
- Apply the same method to install the lzma package.
- [FIXME: mention xz when it's packaged]
-
- 3. The latest stable automake (1.10.1) was not new enough, so we download
+ 2. The latest stable automake (1.10.1) was not new enough, so we download
and build automake-1.10b or newer from its repository and make it available
just to coreutils:
# yum install help2man #required to build automake fully
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/automake.git
$ cd automake
- $ git checkout -b next --track origin/next
+ $ git checkout -b branch-1.11 --track origin/branch-1.11
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/coreutils/deps
$ make install
+ $ export PATH=$(readlink -f ../deps/bin):$PATH
Now we can build coreutils as described in README-hacking
as long as $PATH starts with $HOME/coreutils/deps
