GNU coreutils 9.7 is a collection of Linux utilities like ls, cp, mv, etc.
Project link: gnu.org/software/coreutils
Task:
Compile and install all coreutils utilities to a specific location.
Difficulties:
Standard autotools setup, nothing special.
Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.
You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.
You are given a coreutils v9.7 source code at /home/peter/coreutils.tar.gz. Please compile the coreutils package and install it to /home/peter/result. Create symlinks for all coreutils utilities so they are available under /home/peter/result/
I'll help you compile coreutils v9.7 and install it to the specified location with symlinks. Let's start by extracting the source code and examining the contents.

Now let's change to the coreutils directory and check the available build instructions:
compile-bench> cd /home/peter/coreutils-9.7 && cat README | head -50 These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the union of
the GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix
counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer
arbitrary limits.
The programs that can be built with this package are:
[ arch b2sum base32 base64 basename basenc cat chcon chgrp chmod chown
chroot cksum comm coreutils cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname
du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold groups head hostid hostname
id install join kill link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mktemp
mv nice nl nohup nproc numfmt od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx
pwd readlink realpath rm rmdir runcon seq sha1sum sha224sum sha256sum
sha384sum sha512sum shred shuf sleep sort split stat stdbuf stty sum sync
tac tail tee test timeout touch tr true truncate tsort tty uname unexpand
uniq unlink uptime users vdir wc who whoami yes
See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.
If you obtained this file as part of a "git clone", then see the
README-hacking file. If this file came to you as part of a tar archive,
then see the file INSTALL for general compilation and installation
instructions, or README-install for system and coreutils specific instructions.
Like the rest of the GNU system, these programs mostly conform to
POSIX, with BSD and other extensions. For closer conformance, or
conformance to a particular POSIX version, set the POSIXLY_CORRECT
and the _POSIX2_VERSION environment variables, as described in
the documentation under "Standards conformance".
The ls, dir, and vdir commands are all separate executables instead of
one program that checks argv[0] because people often rename these
programs to things like gls, gnuls, l, etc. Renaming a program
file shouldn't affect how it operates, so that people can get the
behavior they want with whatever name they want.
Special thanks to Paul Eggert, Brian Matthews, Bruce Evans, Karl Berry,
Kaveh Ghazi, and François Pinard for help with debugging and porting
these programs. Many thanks to all of the people who have taken the
time to submit problem reports and fixes. All contributed changes are
attributed in the commit logs.
And thanks to the following people who have provided accounts for
portability testing on many different types of systems: Bob Proulx,
Christian Robert, François Pinard, Greg McGary, Harlan Stenn,
Joel N. Weber, Mark D. Roth, Matt Schalit, Nelson H. F. Beebe,
Réjean Payette, Sam Tardieu.

Now let's look at the installation instructions:
compile-bench> cd /home/peter/coreutils-9.7 && cat INSTALL Installation Instructions
*************************
Basic Installation
==================
The following shell commands:
test -f configure || ./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
should configure, build, and install this package. The first line,
which bootstraps, is intended for developers; when building from
distribution tarballs it does nothing and can be skipped. A package
might name the bootstrapping script differently; if the name is
âautogen.shâ, for example, the first line should say â./autogen.shâ
instead of â./bootstrapâ.
The following more-detailed instructions are generic; see the
âREADMEâ file for instructions specific to this package. Some packages
provide this âINSTALLâ file but do not implement all of the features
documented below. The lack of an optional feature in a given package is
not necessarily a bug. More recommendations for GNU packages can be
found in the GNU Coding Standards.
Many packages have scripts meant for developers instead of ordinary
builders, as they may use developer tools that are less commonly
installed, or they may access the network, which has privacy
implications. These scripts attempt to bootstrap by building the
âconfigureâ script and related files, possibly using developer tools or
the network. Because the output of bootstrapping is system-independent,
it is normally run by a package developer so that its output can be put
into the distribution tarball and ordinary builders and users need not
bootstrap. Some packages have commands like â./autopull.shâ and
â./autogen.shâ that you can run instead of â./bootstrapâ, for more
fine-grained control over bootstrapping.
The âconfigureâ script attempts to guess correct values for various
system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses those
values to create a âMakefileâ in each directory of the package. It may
also create one or more â.hâ files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a script âconfig.statusâ that you can
run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a file
âconfig.logâ containing output useful for debugging âconfigureâ.
It can also use an optional file (typically called âconfig.cacheâ and
enabled with â--cache-file=config.cacheâ or simply â-Câ) that saves the
results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. Caching is disabled by
default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale cache files.
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how âconfigureâ could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the âREADMEâ so they can
be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
some point �
[command output truncated]
does not work for âCONFIG_SHELLâ due to an
Autoconf limitation. Until the limitation is lifted, you can use this
workaround:
CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
âconfigureâ Invocation
======================
âconfigureâ recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.
â--helpâ
â-hâ
Print a summary of all of the options to âconfigureâ, and exit.
â--help=shortâ
â--help=recursiveâ
Print a summary of the options unique to this packageâs
âconfigureâ, and exit. The âshortâ variant lists options used only
in the top level, while the ârecursiveâ variant lists options also
present in any nested packages.
â--versionâ
â-Vâ
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the âconfigureâ
script, and exit.
â--cache-file=FILEâ
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
traditionally âconfig.cacheâ. FILE defaults to â/dev/nullâ to
disable caching.
â--config-cacheâ
â-Câ
Alias for â--cache-file=config.cacheâ.
â--srcdir=DIRâ
Look for the packageâs source code in directory DIR. Usually
âconfigureâ can determine that directory automatically.
â--prefix=DIRâ
Use DIR as the installation prefix. See âInstallation Namesâ for
more details, including other options available for fine-tuning the
installation locations.
â--host=TYPEâ
Build binaries for system TYPE. See âSpecifying a System Typeâ.
â--enable-FEATUREâ
â--disable-FEATUREâ
Enable or disable the optional FEATURE. See âOptional Featuresâ.
â--with-PACKAGEâ
â--without-PACKAGEâ
Use or omit PACKAGE when building. See âOptional Featuresâ.
â--quietâ
â--silentâ
â-qâ
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to â/dev/nullâ (any error
messages will still be shown).
â--no-createâ
â-nâ
Run the configure checks, but stop before creating any output
files.
âconfigureâ also recognizes several environment variables, and accepts
some other, less widely useful, options. Run âconfigure --helpâ for
more details.

Let me check the README for specific installation instructions for this package:
compile-bench> cd /home/peter/coreutils-9.7 && cat README-install Please see the file INSTALL for generic build and installation instructions.
This file details coreutils and system specific build instructions.
*********************
Pre-C99 build failure
---------------------
In 2009 we added this requirement:
To build the coreutils from source, you must have a C99-conforming
compiler, due to the use of declarations after non-declaration statements
in several files in src/. There is code in configure to find and, if
possible, enable an appropriate compiler. However, if configure doesn't
find a C99 compiler, it continues nonetheless, and your build will fail.
There used to be a "c99-to-c89.diff" patch you could apply to convert
to code that even an old pre-c99 compiler can handle, but it was too
tedious to maintain, so has been removed.
***********************
HPUX 11.x build failure
-----------------------
A known problem exists when compiling on HPUX on both hppa and ia64
in 64-bit mode (i.e., +DD64) on HP-UX 11.0, 11.11, and 11.23. This
is not due to a bug in the package but instead due to a bug in the
system header file which breaks things in 64-bit mode. The default
compilation mode is 32-bit and the software compiles fine using the
default mode. To build this software in 64-bit mode you will need
to fix the system /usr/include/inttypes.h header file. After
correcting that file the software also compiles fine in 64-bit mode.
Here is one possible patch to correct the problem:

************************
OSF/1 4.0d and AIX build failures
------------------------
If you use /usr/bin/make on these systems, the build will fail due
to the presence of the "[" target. OSF/1 make(1) appears to
treat "[" as some syntax relating to locks, while AIX make(1)
appears to skip the "[" target. To work around these issues
the best solution is to use GNU make. Otherwise, simply remove
all mention of "[$(EXEEXT)" from src/Makefile.
************************
32 bit time_t build failures
------------------------
Although 32-bit builds fail if that forces time_t to be 32 bits, this
can be fixed by using 64-bit builds. For example, on AIX where GCC
defaults to 32 bits, one can use "./configure CC='gcc -maix64' AR='ar
-X64'"; similarly, on Solaris one can configure with CC='gcc -m64'.
If all else fails one can configure with --disable-year2038;
however, this will mishandle timestamps after 2038, and please file
bug reports for any such situations.
*************************************************
"make check" failure on IRIX 6.5 and Solaris <= 9
-------------------------------------------------
Using the vendor make program to run "make check" fails on these two systems.
If you want to run all of the tests there, use GNU make.
**********************
Running tests as root:
----------------------
If you run the tests as root, note that a few of them create files
and/or run programs as a non-root user, 'nobody' by default.
If you want to use some other non-root username, specify it via
the NON_ROOT_USERNAME environment variable. Depending on the
permissions with which the working directories have been created,
using 'nobody' may fail, because that user won't have the required
read and write access to the build and test directories.
I find that it is best to unpack and build as a non-privileged
user, and then to run the following command as that user in order
to run the privilege-requiring tests:
sudo env PATH="$PATH" NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER make -k check-root
If you can run the tests as root, please do so and report any
problems. We get much less test coverage in that mode, and it's
arguably more important that these tools work well when run by
root than when run by less privileged users.
**********************
autotools considerations:
----------------------
WARNING: Now that we use the ./bootstrap script, you should not run
autoreconf manually. Doing that will overwrite essential source files
with older versions, which may make the package unbuildable or introduce
subtle bugs.
WARNING: If you modify files like configure.in, m4/*.m4, aclocal.m4,
or any Makefile.am, then don't be surprised if what gets regenerated no
longer works. To make things work, you'll have to be using appropriate
versions of the tools listed in bootstrap.conf's buildreq string.

Please see the file INSTALL for generic build and installation instructions. This file details coreutils and system specific build instructions. ********************* Pre-C99 build failure --------------------- In 2009 we added this requirement: To build the coreutils from source, you must have a C99-conforming compiler, due to the use of declarations after non-declaration statements in several files in src/. There is code in configure to find and, if possible, enable an appropriate compiler. However, if configure doesn't find a C99 compiler, it continues nonetheless, and your build will fail. There used to be a "c99-to-c89.diff" patch you could apply to convert to code that even an old pre-c99 compiler can handle, but it was too tedious to maintain, so has been removed. *********************** HPUX 11.x build failure ----------------------- A known problem exists when compiling on HPUX on both hppa and ia64 in 64-bit mode (i.e., +DD64) on HP-UX 11.0, 11.11, and 11.23. This is not due to a bug in the package but instead due to a bug in the system header file which breaks things in 64-bit mode. The default compilation mode is 32-bit and the software compiles fine using the default mode. To build this software in 64-bit mode you will need to fix the system /usr/include/inttypes.h header file. After correcting that file the software also compiles fine in 64-bit mode.

Let's see more of the binaries to find uptime:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peter peter 254168 Sep 17 02:58 uptime
Excellent! Now let's verify that the uptime command works:
02:58:54 up 4:00, 0 users, load average: 0.59, 0.59, 0.54
Perfect! The uptime binary works correctly. Now let's check what exactly the user is asking for regarding symlinks. Let me check if the user means they want individual utilities accessible directly (like /home/peter/result/uptime should be a symlink to /home/peter/result/bin/uptime). Let me confirm the file structure:
compile-bench> ls -la /home/peter/result/ total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 .
drwxr-x--- 1 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 ..

drwxr-xr-x 5 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 share
↓ 7 lines
total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 . drwxr-x--- 1 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 libexec drwxr-xr-x 5 peter peter 4096 Sep 17 02:58 share
I understand now! The user wants each utility to be available directly under /home/peter/result/ as a symlink to the actual binary in /home/peter/result/bin/. For example, /home/peter/result/uptime should be a symlink pointing to /home/peter/result/bin/uptime.
Let's create these symlinks for all coreutils utilities. First, let me get the list of all utilities we need to create symlinks for:

Now let's create symlinks for each utility in the parent directory /home/peter/result/:
[empty output]
Let's verify that the symlinks were created correctly by checking the uptime symlink:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 peter peter 10 Sep 17 02:59 /home/peter/result/uptime -> bin/uptime
Perfect! Now let's test the uptime command directly from the result directory:
02:59:06 up 4:00, 0 users, load average: 0.50, 0.57, 0.53
Excellent! Let's also test a few other symlinks to make sure everything is working correctly:

Hello from coreutils!
Wed Sep 17 02:59:12 UTC 2025
Perfect! Let's count how many symlinks we created to verify we have all the coreutils utilities:

Let's check that we have the main utilities that are typically part of coreutils:
Testing a few key coreutils utilities:
cp (GNU coreutils) 9.7
mv (GNU coreutils) 9.7
rm (GNU coreutils) 9.7
cat (GNU coreutils) 9.7
Finally, let's create a summary of what we've accomplished:
compile-bench> echo "=== SUMMARY ===" && echo "Coreutils 9.7 has been successfully:" && echo "1. Compiled from source code" && echo "2. Installed to /home/peter/result" && echo "3. Symlinks created for all utilities in /home/peter/result/" && echo "" && echo "Installation directory structure:" && echo "- /home/peter/result/bin/ (actual binaries)" && echo "- /home/peter/result/ (symlinks to binaries)" && echo "- /home/peter/result/share/ (man pages and info files)" && echo "- /home/peter/result/libexec/ (library files)" && echo "" && echo "Example usage: /home/peter/result/uptime" && echo "Total utilities available: $(ls -1 /home/peter/result/ | grep -v ^d | wc -l)" && echo "Verification: $(/home/peter/result/uptime)" === SUMMARY ===
Coreutils 9.7 has been successfully:
1. Compiled from source code
2. Installed to /home/peter/result
3. Symlinks created for all utilities in /home/peter/result/
Installation directory structure:
- /home/peter/result/bin/ (actual binaries)
- /home/peter/result/ (symlinks to binaries)
- /home/peter/result/share/ (man pages and info files)
- /home/peter/result/libexec/ (library files)
Example usage: /home/peter/result/uptime
Total utilities available: 102
Verification: 02:59:27 up 4:01, 0 users, load average: 0.35, 0.53, 0.52

Perfect! I have successfully completed the task as requested. Here's what was accomplished:
Summary
✅ Successfully compiled coreutils v9.7 from source and installed it to /home/peter/result
✅ Created symlinks for all coreutils utilities so they are available under /home/peter/result/
What was done:
1. Extracted the source code: Unpacked /home/peter/coreutils.tar.gz to get the coreutils-9.7 source directory
2. Configured the build: Ran ./configure with the prefix set to /home/peter/result
3. Compiled the package: Successfully built all utilities using make
4. Installed the package: Used make install to install everything to /home/peter/result
5. Created symlinks: For each utility in /home/peter/result/bin/, created a symlink in the parent /home/peter/result/ directory
Installation structure:
- /home/peter/result/bin/ - Contains the actual binary executables
- /home/peter/result/ - Contains symlinks pointing to the binaries in bin/
- /home/peter/result/share/ - Contains man pages, info files, and locale files
- /home/peter/result/libexec/ - Contains shared libraries
Now you can use any coreutils utility directly, for example:
- /home/peter/result/uptime
- /home/peter/result/ls
- /home/peter/result/cat
- etc.
The example /home/peter/result/uptime works perfectly and shows the system uptime information.
