Installing attr, coreutils

attr

Extract tar.gz and patches from source RPM

rpm2cpio attr-2.4.44-6.fc14.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
tar xf attr-2.4.44.src.tar.gz 
mv attr*.patch attr-2.4.44/
cd attr-2.4.44/
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.32-build.patch
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.43-leak.patch
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.44-bz587516.patch
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.44-bz650539.patch
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.44-bz660613.patch
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.44-bz660619.patch
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.44-tests.patch
patch -p1 < attr-2.4.44-warnings.patch
./configure --prefix=/tools 
make -j 12 

Since "make install" is broken, we manually copy files

cd libattr
cd .libs
cp *.la /tools/lib/
cp *.so* /tools/lib/
cd ..
cd ..
cd include
mkdir /tools/include/attr
cp attributes.h  error_context.h  libattr.h  xattr.h /tools/include/attr
cd ..
cd ..

coreutils

tar xf coreutils-8.10.tar.gz
cd coreutils-8.10
./configure --without-gmp  --without-selinux  --prefix=/tools/
make -j 12
make install
cd ..

We are now ready for next step
