<title>Installation of Coreutils</title>
<para>There's an internal issue with Coreutils which makes some of the
programs behave abnormally if you build using an older kernel. Apply a
patch to fix the issue:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&coreutils-old-kernel-patch;</userinput></screen>
<para>Prepare Coreutils for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/tools --enable-install-program=hostname</userinput></screen>
<variablelist>
<title>The meaning of the configure options:</title>
<varlistentry>
<term><envar>--enable-install-program=hostname</envar></term>
<listitem>
<para>This enables the <command>hostname</command> binary to be built
and installed – it is disabled by default but is required by the
Perl test suite.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Compile the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>
<para>Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test
suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run
the Coreutils test suite anyway, issue the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check</userinput></screen>
<para>The <parameter>RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes</parameter> parameter tells the
test suite to run several additional tests that are considered
relatively expensive (in terms of CPU power and memory usage) on some
platforms, but generally are not a problem on Linux.</para>
<para>Install the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
<para>The above command refuses to install <filename>su</filename>
because the program cannot be installed setuid root as a non-privileged
user. By manually installing it with a different name, we can use it for
running tests in the final system as a non-privileged user and we keep a
possibly useful <command>su</command> from our host first in our PATH.
Install it with:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">cp -v src/su /tools/bin/su-tools</userinput></screen>
