| 25 | If you have a problem with internationalization, you might be able to
|
|---|
| 26 | work around it as described in ABOUT-NLS by invoking `./configure
|
|---|
| 27 | --disable-nls'. Many of the problems arise from dynamic linking
|
|---|
| 28 | issues on non-GNU platforms (e.g. with the iconv library). Such
|
|---|
| 29 | problems tend to be shared by other GNU applications on these
|
|---|
| 30 | platforms, and can usually be fixed by carefully tweaking your non-GNU
|
|---|
| 31 | installation. If you have an older version of libiconv, please
|
|---|
| 32 | upgrade to the latest one, preferably libiconv-1.8 or newer.
|
|---|
| 33 | (libiconv-1.8 is not yet available as of this writing, but it should
|
|---|
| 34 | be out soon.) If the problem seems isolated to diffutils, though,
|
|---|
| 35 | please report a bug.
|

| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | This program requires a Standard C compiler (C89 or later); if you
|
|---|
| 38 | have an older K&R compiler, please install GCC first.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | If you make changes to the source code, you may need recent test
|
|---|
| 41 | versions of GNU build tools to regenerate the intermediate files. The
|
|---|
| 42 | following versions were used to generate the intermediate files in
|
|---|
| 43 | this distribution:
