Install Diffutils by running the following commands:
LDFLAGS=-static CPPFLAGS=-Dre_max_failures=re_max_failures2 \ ./configure --prefix=$LFS/static --disable-nls && make && make install |
CPPFLAGS=-Dre_max_failures=re_max_failures2: The CPPFLAGS variable is a variable that's read by the cpp program (C PreProcessor). The value of this variable tells the preprocessor to replace every instance of re_max_failures it finds by re_max_failures2 before handing the source file to the compiler itself for compilation. This package has problems linking statically on systems that run an older Glibc version and this construction fixes that problem.
Last checked against version 2.8.1.
cmp, diff, diff3 and sdiff
cmp and diff both compare two files and report their differences. Both programs have extra options which compare files in different situations.
The difference between diff and diff3 is that diff compares 2 files, diff3 compares 3 files.
sdiff merges two files and interactively outputs the results.
Last checked against version 2.7.
