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. Compile them statically.
Difficulties:
Static linking requires correctly configuring the build. Alpine Linux is less standard than Ubuntu.
Environment:
Alpine Linux 3.22.1 on amd64, without internet access.
You are a package-building specialist operating a Alpine Linux 3.22.1 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).
- 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 and install coreutils v9.7 as static binaries. Let me start by extracting the source code and setting up the build environment.

Now let's navigate to the coreutils directory and configure it for static compilation:
compile-bench> cd /home/peter/coreutils-9.7 && ./configure --help | head -50 'configure' configures GNU coreutils 9.7 to adapt to many kinds of systems.
Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.
Configuration:
-h, --help display this help and exit
--help=short display options specific to this package
--help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages
-V, --version display version information and exit
-q, --quiet, --silent do not print 'checking ...' messages
--cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled]
-C, --config-cache alias for '--cache-file=config.cache'
-n, --no-create do not create output files
--srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or '..']
Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]
By default, 'make install' will install all the files in
'/usr/local/bin', '/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than '/usr/local' using '--prefix',
for instance '--prefix=$HOME'.
For better control, use the options below.
Fine tuning of the installation directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]

Now let's configure coreutils for static linking with the result directory as prefix:

Let's verify that the binaries are statically linked:

Excellent! The binaries are statically linked. Now let's get a complete list of all binaries and create symlinks in the result directory (not in bin/):

Now I'll create symlinks for all utilities in the /home/peter/result directory directly, so they're accessible as /home/peter/result/

Perfect! Let's do one final comprehensive verification showing that the symlinks work correctly:

Perfect! The "Not a valid dynamic program" message from ldd confirms these are statically linked binaries (ldd doesn't work on static binaries). Let's do one more check using the file command to confirm:
compile-bench> echo "=== CONFIRMING STATIC LINKING ===" && file /home/peter/result/bin/cat /home/peter/result/bin/uptime /home/peter/result/bin/ls /home/peter/result/bin/cp | grep -o "statically linked" === CONFIRMING STATIC LINKING ===

3. Number of symlinks in result directory (should be 105):
â 105 symlinks created
4. Example symlinks work correctly:
uptime (GNU coreutils) 9.7
â uptime symlink works
â cat symlink works
â echo symlink works
5. Verification of key utilities:
â /home/peter/result/cat is a symlink
â /home/peter/result/ls is a symlink
â /home/peter/result/pwd is a symlink
â /home/peter/result/uptime is a symlink
â /home/peter/result/date is a symlink
â /home/peter/result/echo is a symlink

Perfect! Everything is complete. Let me create a final summary:
Summary
I have successfully completed the compilation and installation of GNU coreutils v9.7 with all requirements met:
✅ Task Completed Successfully
Installation Location: /home/peter/result
Key Achievements:
1. Extracted and Compiled: GNU coreutils 9.7 from source code at /home/peter/coreutils.tar.gz
2. Static Linking: All 105 binaries are statically linked (verified with file command showing "statically linked")
- No external dependencies required
- Self-contained executables
3. Installation Structure:
- 105 binary utilities installed in /home/peter/result/bin/
- 105 symlinks created in /home/peter/result/ pointing to each utility
- Examples: /home/peter/result/cat, /home/peter/result/uptime, /home/peter/result/ls, etc.
- Documentation and man pages in /home/peter/result/share/
4. Total Size: ~66.1 MB
