How to install minutils

Like any other piece of software (and information generally), minutils comes with NO WARRANTY.

Requirements

System

A Linux kernel, version 2.2 or higher

Build-time

A standard C development environment. Using the diet libc is recommended.
The skalibs package, version 0.43 or higher

Run-time

No dependencies.

Installation

minutils follows the slashpackage convention.

Create a /package directory:

     mkdir -p /package
     chmod 1755 /package
     cd /package

Download the latest version of minutils, minutils-0.18.tar.gz, into /package.

Unpack the minutils package:

     tar -zxpvf minutils-0.18.tar.gz
     # if you do not have GNU tar, check with your gunzip and tar manual pages.
     rm minutils-0.18.tar.gz
     cd host/skarnet.org/minutils-0.18

If you want to use another compiler and linker than the default, edit conf-compile/conf-cc and conf-compile/conf-ld as needed.
By default, the diet wrapper to gcc is used. Change it if you are not using the diet libc.
Compile and set up minutils:
```
     package/install
```
The binaries will be available in the command subdirectory.

To report success :

	 cat package/name package/version compile/export/sysdeps | mail ska-sysdeps@skarnet.org

You can then delete the compile subdirectory to save disk space.
