Some of the Coreutils utilities (such as -head, tail, and -sort) will reject their traditional syntax, a -syntax that has been in use for approximately 30 years. This old -syntax is so pervasive that compatibility should be preserved until -the many places where it is used can be updated. Backwards -compatibility is achieved by setting the -DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION environment variable to -199209 in the above command. If you do not want -Coreutils to be backwards compatible with the traditional syntax, then -omit setting the DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION -environment variable. It is important to remember that doing so will -have consequences, including the need to patch the many packages that -still use the old syntax. Therefore, it is recommended that the -instructions be followed exactly as given above. +./configure --prefix=/tools Compile the package: -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
