------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-10-23 14:10 ------- Here's my notes so far: 1) Both patches need updating so they apply to this version of the sources. I've uploaded my attempts to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~matthew/coreutils/ 2) 'su' apparently doesn't like working if the user you're `su'ing to doesn't have a home directory. Adding a home directory '/root' to the 'dummy' entry in /etc/passwd appears to work fine. 3) The coreutils testsuite now relies on Data/Dumper.pm from Perl. Chapter 5's Perl therefore needs changing to: ./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools -Dstatic_ext='IO Fcntl POSIX Data' I've not managed to test that last change yet, so it may not be enough, and there may be other bits and pieces missing (and 5.92 may cause problems further on in the build). I'm just putting this out there so someone else may be able to have a crack at this stuff.
