Sharutils-4.15.2

Introduction to Sharutils

The Sharutils package contains utilities that can create 'shell' archives.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.4 platform.

First, fix issues exposed by current GCC versions:

patch -Np1 -i ../sharutils-4.15.2-consolidated-1.patch

Install Sharutils by running the following commands:

autoreconf -fiv                                         &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-dependency-tracking &&
make

To test the results, issue make check.

Now, as the root user:

make install

--disable-dependency-tracking: This switch is used to disable unneeded code in the build system.

--with-openssl: This optional switch is used to enable incorporation of integrity checks into the package's executable programs.

shar	creates "shell archives" (or shar files) which are in text format and can be mailed
unshar	unpacks a shar file
uudecode	reads a file (or by default the standard input) and writes an encoded version to the standard output. The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters
uuencode	reads a file (or by default the standard input) and decodes the uuencoded version to the standard output
