Specifically to build from a git snapshot, you would be acting like a developer, and so would follow README-hacking instructions. Note INSTALL _is_ present in the dist tarball, but not in the snapshot, as that file comes from the gnulib submodule, and following README-hacking instructions should populate all gnulib files. If you only want to build, then it's best to go from the distribution tarballs available at https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/coreutils/ cheers, Pádraig From unknown Sun Jun 22 11:34:25 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
