README for GNU DIFF
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the GNU diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp utilities.
|
|
Their features are a superset of the Unix features and they are
|
|
significantly faster.
|
|
|
|
Please see the file COPYING for copying conditions.
|
|
|
|
Please see the file doc/version.texi for version information.
|
|
|
|
Please see the file doc/diff.texi (or doc/diff.info) for documentation
|
|
that can be printed with TeX, or read with the `info' program or with
|
|
Emacs's `M-x info'. Brief man pages are in man/*, but they are no
|
|
substitute for the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Please see the file ABOUT-NLS for notes about translations.
|
|
|
|
Please see the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation
|
|
instructions. Briefly, you can run "./configure; make install". The
|
|
command "./configure --help" lists the supported --enable and --with
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
If you have a problem with internationalization, you might be able to
|
|
work around it as described in ABOUT-NLS by invoking `./configure
|
|
--disable-nls'. Many of the problems arise from dynamic linking
|
|
issues on non-GNU platforms (e.g. with the iconv library). Such
|
|
problems tend to be shared by other GNU applications on these
|
|
platforms, and can usually be fixed by carefully tweaking your non-GNU
|
|
installation. If you have an older version of libiconv, please
|
|
upgrade to the latest one; see <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/>. If
|
|
the problem seems isolated to diffutils, though, please report a bug.
|
|
|
|
This program requires a Standard C compiler (C89 or later). If you
|
|
have a nonstandard compiler, please install GCC first.
|
|
|
|
If you make changes to the source code, you may need appropriate
|
|
versions of GNU build tools to regenerate the intermediate files. The
|
|
following versions were used to generate the intermediate files in
|
|
this distribution:
|
|
|
|
* Autoconf 2.59 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.59.tar.gz>
|
|
* Automake 1.8.3 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.8.3.tar.gz>
|
|
* gettext 0.14.1 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.1.tar.gz>
|
|
* help2man 1.33 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/help2man-1.33.1.tar.gz>
|
|
* Texinfo 4.7 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.7.tar.gz>
|
|
|
|
Please report bugs to <bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org>.
