-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
uutils is an attempt at writing universal (as in cross-platform) CLI
|
|
utilities in [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org). This repository is intended to
|
|
aggregate GNU coreutils rewrites.
|
|
|
|
Why?
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Many GNU, Linux and other utilities are useful, and obviously
|
|
[some](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net) [effort](http://unxutils.sourceforge.net)
|
|
has been spent in the past to port them to Windows. However, those projects
|
|
are either old and abandoned, are hosted on CVS (which makes it more difficult
|
|
for new contributors to contribute to them), are written in platform-specific C, or
|
|
suffer from other issues.
|
|
|
|
Rust provides a good, platform-agnostic way of writing systems utilities that are easy
|
|
to compile anywhere, and this is as good a way as any to try and learn it.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Rust (`cargo`, `rustc`)
|
|
* GNU Make (required to build documentation)
|
|
* [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/) (for documentation)
|
|
* gzip (for installing documentation)
|
|
|
|
### Rust Version ###
|
|
|
|
uutils follows Rust's release channels and is tested against stable, beta and nightly.
|
|
The current oldest supported version of the Rust compiler is `1.32.0`.
|
|
|
|
On both Windows and Redox, only the nightly version is tested currently.
|
|
|
|
Build Instructions
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
There are currently two methods to build uutils: GNU Make and Cargo. However,
|
|
while there may be two methods, both systems are required to build on Unix
|
|
(only Cargo is required on Windows).
|
|
|
|
First, for both methods, we need to fetch the repository:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
|
|
$ cd coreutils
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cargo ###
|
|
|
|
Building uutils using Cargo is easy because the process is the same as for
|
|
every other Rust program:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# to keep debug information, compile without --release
|
|
$ cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Because the above command attempts to build utilities that only work on
|
|
Unix-like platforms at the moment, to build on Windows, you must do the
|
|
following:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# to keep debug information, compile without --release
|
|
$ cargo build --release --no-default-features --features windows
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to build every utility available on your platform into the
|
|
multicall binary (the Busybox-esque binary), you can also specify which ones
|
|
you want to build manually. For example:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo build --features "base32 cat echo rm" --no-default-features
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't even want to build the multicall binary and would prefer to just
|
|
build the utilities as individual binaries, that is possible too. For example:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo build -p uu_base32 -p uu_cat -p uu_echo -p uu_rm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### GNU Make ###
|
|
|
|
Building using `make` is a simple process as well.
|
|
|
|
To simply build all available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build all but a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make SKIP_UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build only a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Installation Instructions
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
### Cargo ###
|
|
|
|
Likewise, installing can simply be done using:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will install uutils into Cargo's *bin* folder (*e.g.* `$HOME/.cargo/bin`).
|
|
|
|
### GNU Make ###
|
|
|
|
To install all available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install using `sudo` switch `-E` must be used:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo -E make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install all but a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make SKIP_UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install only a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install every program with a prefix (e.g. uu-echo uu-cat):
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make PROG_PREFIX=PREFIX_GOES_HERE install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install the multicall binary:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make MULTICALL=y install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set install parent directory (default value is /usr/local):
|
|
```bash
|
|
# DESTDIR is also supported
|
|
$ make PREFIX=/my/path install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### NixOS ###
|
|
|
|
The [standard package set](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/) of [NixOS](https://nixos.org/)
|
|
provides this package out of the box since 18.03:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nix-env -iA nixos.uutils-coreutils
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Uninstallation Instructions
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Uninstallation differs depending on how you have installed uutils. If you used
|
|
Cargo to install, use Cargo to uninstall. If you used GNU Make to install, use
|
|
Make to uninstall.
|
|
|
|
### Cargo ###
|
|
|
|
To uninstall uutils:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo uninstall uutils
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### GNU Make ###
|
|
|
|
To uninstall all utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall every program with a set prefix:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make PROG_PREFIX=PREFIX_GOES_HERE uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall the multicall binary:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make MULTICALL=y uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall from a custom parent directory:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# DESTDIR is also supported
|
|
$ make PREFIX=/my/path uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test Instructions
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Testing can be done using either Cargo or `make`.
|
|
|
|
### Cargo ###
|
|
|
|
Just like with building, we follow the standard procedure for testing using
|
|
Cargo:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, `cargo test` only runs the common programs. To run also platform
|
|
specific tests, run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo test --features unix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you would prefer to test a select few utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo test --features "chmod mv tail" --no-default-features
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To debug:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ gdb --args target/debug/coreutils ls
|
|
(gdb) b ls.rs:79
|
|
(gdb) run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### GNU Make ###
|
|
|
|
To simply test all available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To test all but a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make SKIP_UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To test only a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To include tests for unimplemented behavior:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' SPEC=y test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run Busybox Tests
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
This testing functionality is only available on *nix operating systems and
|
|
requires `make`.
|
|
|
|
To run busybox's tests for all utilities for which busybox has tests
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make busytest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run busybox's tests for a few of the available utilities
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' busytest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To pass an argument like "-v" to the busybox test runtime
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' RUNTEST_ARGS='-v' busytest
|
|
```
