%general-entities; ]> Coreutils A known issue with the uname program from this package is that the -p switch always returns unknown. The following patch fixes this behavior for all architectures: patch -Np1 -i ../&coreutils-uname-patch; The following command updates the timestamps on the uname and hostname man pages so that the Makefile does not attempt to regenerate them: touch man/uname.1 man/hostname.1 Configure can not properly determine how to get free space when cross-compiling - as a result, the df program will not be built. Add the following entries to config.cache to correct this, and fix various cross-compiling issues: cat > config.cache << EOF fu_cv_sys_stat_statfs2_bsize=yes gl_cv_func_rename_trailing_slash_bug=no gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_incomplete_state=yes gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_nul_retval=yes gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_null_arg=yes gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_retval=yes gl_cv_func_btowc_eof=yes gl_cv_func_wcrtomb_retval=yes gl_cv_func_wctob_works=yes EOF Now prepare Coreutils for compilation: ./configure --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \ --prefix=/usr --cache-file=config.cache \ --enable-no-install-program=kill,uptime \ --enable-install-program=hostname Compile the package: make Install the package: make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install Move programs to the locations specified by the FHS: mv -v ${CLFS}/usr/bin/{cat,chgrp,chmod,chown,cp,date} ${CLFS}/bin mv -v ${CLFS}/usr/bin/{dd,df,echo,false,hostname,ln,ls,mkdir} ${CLFS}/bin mv -v ${CLFS}/usr/bin/{mv,pwd,rm,rmdir,stty,true,uname} ${CLFS}/bin mv -v ${CLFS}/usr/bin/chroot ${CLFS}/usr/sbin Other Coreutils programs are used by some of the scripts in the CLFS-Bootscripts package. As /usr may not be available during the early stages of booting, those binaries need to be on the root partition: mv -v ${CLFS}/usr/bin/{[,basename,head,install,nice} ${CLFS}/bin mv -v ${CLFS}/usr/bin/{readlink,sleep,sync,test,touch} ${CLFS}/bin ln -sfv ../../bin/install ${CLFS}/usr/bin Installed programs [, base64, basename, cat, chcon, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, cksum, comm, cp, csplit, cut, date, dd, df, dir, dircolors, dirname, du, echo, env, expand, expr, factor, false, fmt, fold, groups, head, hostid, hostname, id, install, join, link, ln, logname, ls, md5sum, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mktemp, mv, nice, nl, nohup, od, paste, pathchk, pinky, pr, printenv, printf, ptx, pwd, readlink, rm, rmdir, runcon, seq, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum, shred, shuf, sleep, sort, split, stat, stty, sum, sync, tac, tail, tee, test, timeout, touch, tr, true, truncate, tsort, tty, uname, unexpand, uniq, unlink, users, vdir, wc, who, whoami, and yes Short Descriptions base64 Base64 encode/decode data and print to standard output base64 basename Strips any path and a given suffix from a file name basename cat Concatenates files to standard output cat chcon Changes security context for files and directories chcon chgrp Changes the group ownership of files and directories chgrp chmod Changes the permissions of each file to the given mode;

it forces changed blocks to disk and updates the super block sync tac Concatenates the given files in reverse tac tail Prints the last ten lines (or the given number of lines) of each given file tail tee Reads from standard input while writing both to standard output and to the given files tee test or [ Compares values and checks file types test timeout Runs a command with a time limit timeout touch Changes file timestamps, setting the access and modification times of the given files to the current time; files that do not exist are created with zero length touch tr Translates, squeezes, and deletes the given characters from standard input tr true Does nothing, successfully; it always exits with a status code indicating success true truncate Shrinks or expands a file to the specified size truncate tsort Performs a topological sort; it writes a completely ordered list according to the partial ordering in a given file tsort tty Reports the file name of the terminal connected to standard input tty uname Reports system information uname unexpand Converts spaces to tabs unexpand uniq Discards all but one of successive identical lines uniq unlink Removes the given file unlink users Reports the names of the users currently logged on users vdir Is the same as ls -l vdir wc Reports the number of lines, words, and bytes for each given file, as well as a total line when more than one file is given wc who Reports who is logged on who whoami Reports the user name associated with the current effective user ID whoami yes Repeatedly outputs y or a given string until killed yes
