This is GNU tar.
This is a *pre-release* version, and not ready for production use yet.
Please send comments and problem reports to <bug-tar@gnu.org>.
If you have taken the sources from CVS you will need the following
packages (or later) to build GNU tar. We don't make any extra effort
to accommodate older versions of these packages, so please make sure
that you have the latest stable version.
- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
- Bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/>
- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
- M4 <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo>
- Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
Valgrind supports your architecture.
Before building the package, run "bootstrap". It will obtain gnulib
and paxutils files from their Git repositories on Savannah. Then, it will
fetch the po files from tar page at Translation Project, and, finally, it
will start autoconfiguration process. Simply running bootstrap without
arguments should do in most cases.
Bootstrap reads its configuration from file bootstrap.conf located on the
top of tar source tree. Several options are provided that modify its
behavior. Run 'bootstrap --help' for a list.
To only fetch auxiliary files from the network, run ./autopull.sh.
To only generate files such as 'configure', without accessing the
network, run ./autogen.sh. The 'bootstrap' script does both.
