Building coreutils is somewhat involved because it needs quite new versions of a number of dependencies. It is not as simple as I would like. But having said all of that coreutils is building for me using the latest gnulib. Take a peek. http://buildbot.proulx.com:9000/ > Should I be using a slightly older version of gnulb to build git > coreutils? Is there any mapping between compatible revisions? gnulib often breaks downstream tools but today's version is working for me. > $ for dir in $(pwd) gnulib; do ( cd $dir && pwd -P && git show-ref > HEAD ); echo; done > /home/james/source/GNU/coreutils/coreutils > b8108fd2ddf77ae79cd014f4f37798a52be13fd1 refs/remotes/origin/HEAD > > /home/james/source/GNU/coreutils/coreutils/gnulib > 82909c26caea8467049abef573cbd3954dc5c444 refs/remotes/origin/HEAD Same as the versions here. In addition to standard things I also have autoconf-2.61, automake-70bca13b, gettext-1.16.1, and m4-1.4.8. Those are the versions that are building for me. > ./bootstrap: aclocal --force -I m4 ... > aclocal: aclocal: file `m4/isnan.m4' does not exist > 1 Not sure about that. Perhaps it would help to compare the bootstrap output you are getting to the output here: http://buildbot.proulx.com:9000/amd64%20gnu-linux/builds/7175/step-configure/0 Somewhere there is a system test that is behaving differently.
