Details on this package are located in Section 8.56.2, “Contents of Coreutils.”
The Coreutils package contains the basic utility programs needed by every operating system.
Prepare Coreutils for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --host=$LFS_TGT \ --build=$(build-aux/config.guess) \ --enable-install-program=hostname \ --enable-no-install-program=kill,uptime \ gl_cv_macro_MB_CUR_MAX_good=y
The meaning of the configure options:
--enable-install-program=hostname
This enables the hostname binary to be built and installed – it is disabled by default but is required by the Perl test suite.
gl_cv_macro_MB_CUR_MAX_good=y
This is needed to work around an issue in the gnulib copy shipped by the package which would break cross compilation.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make DESTDIR=$LFS install
Move programs to their final expected locations. Although this is not necessary in this temporary environment, we must do so because some programs hardcode executable locations:
mv -v $LFS/usr/bin/chroot $LFS/usr/sbin mkdir -pv $LFS/usr/share/man/man8 mv -v $LFS/usr/share/man/man1/chroot.1 $LFS/usr/share/man/man8/chroot.8 sed -i 's/"1"/"8"/' $LFS/usr/share/man/man8/chroot.8
