Please, what is best way for preparing mailutils package for subsequent build on destination machine, where is only minimal build system (gcc + devel libraries)? I thin somthin as project has already in its archive:
ftp://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/alpha/mailutils/mailutils-3.2.91.tar.xz which has only 2.7 MB size! What I tried: I must download sources from git (need actual version), thus I did: git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mailutils.git mailutils I got mailutils sources, it's have ~ 32 MB size, but there aren't some needed files (./configure, .po files, maybe other). Thus I (IMO) must run ./bootstrap bootstrap script performs tons of downloads, some of them: Cloning into 'doc/imprimatur' Cloning into 'gint' Cloning into 'gnulib' <= why? When I gave '--gnulib-srcdir' wget 'm4/radius.m4' Resulted mailutils-3.2.91-git263e2e9f directory has size 154 MB, and even when I tar it excluding git stuff: tar cf mailutils-3.2.91-git.tar --exclude-vcs mailutils-3.2.91-git263e2e9f it has ~ 65 MB size; with xz compression it has 6.2 MB size - still much more than 2.7 MB size. I have already installed "gnulib-devel" package, which has dir structure as: /usr/bin/{check-module,gnulib-tool} /usr/share/doc/gnulib-0/ /usr/share/gnulib/ /usr/share/gnulib/build-aux/ /usr/share/gnulib/config/ /usr/share/gnulib/lib/ /usr/share/gnulib/m4/ /usr/share/gnulib/modules/ /usr/share/gnulib/tests/ /usr/share/man/man1/{check-module.1.gz,gnulib-tool.1.gz} thus I tried to reduce package size by referring to gnulib with '--gnulib-srcdir' bootstrap option. It seems as bootstrap want gnulib-tool to be in directory pointed by --gnulib-srcdir option (/usr/bin/ in my case). Thus I run: ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=/usr/bin --no-git --no-bootstrap-sync or ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=/usr/bin --no-bootstrap-sync Despite it, bootstrap script still do lot of downloads, including gnulib, and at end it fail. Outputs from both these bootstraps runs are attached. How should I do that minimal tarbal, with ./configure for my system autoconf, with .po files, radius.m4 and all needed files for mailutils build - and withou other balast? Thanks, Franta -- I hope the Fedora will have a better init and no binary logs
