coreutils is relentlessly hostile to MinGW

Open StephanTLavavej opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

coreutils.sh is my worst build script, by far. It contains a huge number of terrible hacks, and salvages sort, uniq, and wc from the build's flaming wreckage.

It would be nice if fewer hacks were necessary.

https://github.com/uutils/coreutils is probably my best bet here, assuming MSYS2 can retrieve a Rust compiler.

What replace coreutils now ?

I'm replacing it with https://github.com/uutils/coreutils which I was able to successfully build.
