   6 If you have taken the sources from CVS you will need the following packages
   7 to build GNU tar:
   8
   9 autoconf 2.57
  10 automake 1.7.5
  11 bison 1.875
  12 gettext 0.12.1
  13 sed 3.0
  14 wget 1.7
  15
  16 Before building the package, run bootstrap. You will need a POSIX
  17 compliant shell to do so. The bootstrap utility obtains various
  18 additional files from the CVS repository and the Translation Project
  19 site and prepares the source directory for building. The exact way
  20 of invoking bootstrap depends on whether you have the sources for gnulib
  21 installed somewhere on your system and on the method you use to access
  22 the CVS at savannah.
  23
  24 If you already have gnulib sources on your machine, run:
  25
  26         ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME
  27
  28 Otherwise, if you have developer's access to savannah:
  29
  30 a) if you access CVS via ssh, set the environment variable CVS_RSH
  31 to ssh and run ./bootstrap without arguments.
  32
  33 b) if you access CVS via Kerberos, run
  34
  35         ./bootstrap --cvs-auth=gserver
  36
  37 Othervise, if you are not a member of Savannah, run
  38
  39         ./bootstrap --cvs-auth=pserver
  40
  41 When prompted for a password for anoncvs, simply press the Enter key.
