Subject: bug#44763: Error when 'make'ing latest version of coreutils
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2020 23:45:34 +0000

Finally! Got make, make _version, make check, make install finished.

Here's my instruction file, run from Downloads directory (sorry about 
the wordwrap, should be obvious though)

outfiles="$(pwd)/outfiles"
[ -d "$outfiles" ] || mkdir -p $outfiles

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils 2>&1 | tee -a 
$outfles/out_git_clone.1.txt
cd coreutils

./bootstrap 2>&1 | tee -a $outfiles/out_bootstrap.1.txt
git submodule foreach git pull origin master 2>&1 | tee -a 
$outfiles/out_submodule.1.txt

# these should changed to reflect user
git config --global user.email "celvidge001 <at> gmail.com"
git config --global user.name "Chris Elvidge"

git commit -m 'build: update gnulib submodule to latest' gnulib 2>&1 | 
tee -a $outfiles/out_commit.1.txt

# Berny's addition
git clean -xdfq && ./bootstrap 2>&1 | tee -a $outfiles/out_bootstrap.2.txt

./configure 2>&1 | tee -a $outfiles/out_configure.1.txt

# do edit to make make work
# Akim's change - make it expect a long not a long long
sed -i -e '2301s/%"PRIdMAX"/%ld/' lib/parse-datetime.y
sed -n 2301p lib/parse-datetime.y

# do three edits to make make check work
# put 'return NULL;' back before '/*NOTREACHED*/' # explained by Berny
sed -i -e '184s#\(/\*NOTREACHED\*/\)#return NULL; \1#' 
gnulib/tests/test-nl_langinfo-mt.c
sed -n 184p gnulib/tests/test-nl_langinfo-mt.c
sed -i -e '94s#\(/\*NOTREACHED\*/\)#return NULL; \1#' 
gnulib/tests/test-setlocale_null-mt-all.c
sed -n 94p gnulib/tests/test-setlocale_null-mt-all.c
sed -i -e '94s#\(/\*NOTREACHED\*/\)#return NULL; \1#' 
gnulib/tests/test-setlocale_null-mt-one.c
sed -n 94p gnulib/tests/test-setlocale_null-mt-one.c

# pause here to make sure edits done properly
read -p "Press return to continue" junk

make 2>&1 | tee -a $outfiles/out_make.1.txt

# install complains if this not done
make _version | tee -a $outfiles/out_make.2.txt

make check | tee -a $outfiles/out_make.3.txt


Cheers all!!
