Alternate Packages about cmlfs HOT 15 CLOSED

I have not gotten around to porting gettext-tiny from simple Makefiles to a build system generated by GNU's autotools. The current source of gettext-tiny does not use libtool... i think i ran into a problem 1-2 years ago where a package required some sort of library archive or file made from libtool with gettext-tiny source.

I may reconsider using a different build/configure system if autotools are hard coded for GNU's autotools (M4, autoconf, automake, etc.)

from cmlfs.

So far....
Ninja -> Samurai
zlib -> zlib-ng
gzip -> pigz
pkg-config -> pkgconf [done]
m4 -> ibara's m4

from cmlfs.

But sorry, I use Toybox for replacing some packages e.g bc, coreutils, file, findutils, grep, inetutils, procps, sed, sysklogd, and tar. So, I also replace man instead of man-db and not installing man-pages for temporary.

diffutils, awk, make, and patch are still GNU because of compability that most packages using GNU implementation style (which is powerful). psmisc in toybox-0.8.5 just available for killall command.

This is very time waste to configure commands for first time (I created every config for some steps). Since toybox still developed and not all commands are available.

In my concepts, I was trying to build with less GNU utils and libraries lol 😄

I may start another repo with that as the purpose

I did rebuild llvmtools to replace Ninja with Samurai to drop libffi and python3. Definitely made llvmtools smaller:

python3+libffi+ninja: ~ 140Mb ( .tar.xz )
Samurai + no python3 + no libffi + no ninja: ~ 116Mb ( .tar.xz )

Libcxxabi requires python. Definately need to add libffi + python3 to llvmtools

And when prefer to build CMLFS with *BSD portable programs and libraries instead of GNU 😸

• netbsd-libedit
• netbsd-curses
• openbsd-m4 (not suitable)
• openbsd-yacc

from cmlfs.

@owl4ce how about gettext-tiny? Sometimes, autotools (autoconf+automake+m4+etc] run fine for regenerating configure for coreutils ... other times it fails. Have you had any similar experiences?

Yes, thats works like a charm 👍🏻

fixed by defining M4

export M4=/usr/bin/m4
./configure --prefix=/usr

But.. build fails caused by autom4te that still needs GNU M4.

Looks like autom4te has to be patched for Ibara's M4

I'll move this to discussions
