Please send comments and problem reports to <bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org>.
25
If you have a problem with internationalization, you might be able to
26
work around it as described in ABOUT-NLS by invoking `./configure
27
--disable-nls'. Many of the problems arise from dynamic linking
28
issues on non-GNU platforms (e.g. with the iconv library). Such
29
problems tend to be shared by other GNU applications on these
30
platforms, and can usually be fixed by carefully tweaking your non-GNU
31
installation. If you have an older version of libiconv, please
32
upgrade to the latest one, preferably libiconv-1.8 or newer.
33
(libiconv-1.8 is not yet available as of this writing, but it should
34
be out soon.) If the problem seems isolated to diffutils, though,
37
This program requires a Standard C compiler (C89 or later); if you
38
have an older K&R compiler, please install GCC first.
40
If you make changes to the source code, you may need recent test
41
versions of GNU build tools to regenerate the intermediate files. The
42
following versions were used to generate the intermediate files in
45
* GNU Autoconf 2.53 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53.tar.gz>
47
* GNU Automake 1.6 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.6.tar.gz>
49
* GNU gettext 0.11.1 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.11.1.tar.gz>
