baseutils
is a collection of Unix userland utilities from OpenBSD.
It is designed to be configuration-less; just run make
to build
everything and sudo make install
to install everything.
You can customize the installation directory by setting the PREFIX
environment variable during sudo make install
, for example:
sudo make PREFIX=/usr install
.
You can customize the manual page installation directory by setting
the MANDIR
environment variable during sudo make install
, for
example:
sudo make MANDIR=/usr/share/man install
.
Some installation recommendations:
sudo make PREFIX=/ MANDIR=/usr/share/man install
for global installationsudo make PREFIX=/usr MANDIR=/usr/share/man install
for another type of global installationsudo make PREFIX=/usr/local MANDIR=/usr/local/share/man
for package installationsudo make PREFIX=/opt MANDIR=/opt/share/man
for pkgsrc installationsudo make PREFIX=/usr/ucb MANDIR=/usr/ucb/share/man
for Sun-style *BSD utility installationDon't forget to add $PREFIX/bin to your $PATH in order to use these utilities!
You will need BSD make or GNU make, or another make that understands
the -C
flag the same way those two do.
You will need clang or gcc.
baseutils
will use its own tools (yacc, lex, m4, mv, etc.) during
build, thus no external Unix utilities are necessary besides make
and a compiler toolchain.
baseutils
assumes C99 and a POSIX interface.
baseutils
is built on Void Linux for glibc testing and Alpine
Linux for musl-libc compatibility.
Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and DragonFly BSD testing appreciated.
Testing on other operating systems appreciated as well.
These utilities carry BSD-style licenses.
libz carries a zlib license.
