The Diffutils package contains programs that show the differences between files or directories.
This package requires compiler variables to be set for the target in the environment.
export CC="${CLFS_TARGET}-gcc"
export CXX="${CLFS_TARGET}-g++"
export AR="${CLFS_TARGET}-ar"
export AS="${CLFS_TARGET}-as"
export RANLIB="${CLFS_TARGET}-ranlib"
export LD="${CLFS_TARGET}-ld"
export STRIP="${CLFS_TARGET}-strip"
      This patch adds support for Internationalization:
patch -Np1 -i ../diffutils-2.8.7-i18n-1.patch
Prepare Diffutils for compilation:
./configure --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
    --prefix=/usr
        Diffutils wants ed as the default editor, the following sed will allow us to use vim:
sed -i 's@\(^#define DEFAULT_EDITOR_PROGRAM \).*@\1"vi"@' config.h
Diffutils man-pages want to be recreated, but it requires help2man. So we update the time on the files to prevent them from being recreated:
touch man/*.1
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install
