I was trying to build coreutils-6.12 on GNU/Linux RedHat4 and it fails with the errors shown below.
I was able to build on GNU/Linux RedHat3. The gcc I am using is 4.2.3. It was built on GNU/Linux RedHat3. ############################################################################# gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I../../coreutils-6.12/src -I../lib -DENABLE_MATCHPATHCON=1 -I../../coreutils-6.12/lib -g -O2 -MT ginstall-install.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ginstall-install.Tpo -c -o ginstall-install.o `test -f 'install.c' || echo '../../coreutils-6.12/src/'`install.c ../../coreutils-6.12/src/install.c: In function `setdefaultfilecon': ../../coreutils-6.12/src/install.c:251: warning: implicit declaration of function `matchpathcon_init_prefix' mv -f .deps/ginstall-install.Tpo .deps/ginstall-install.Po gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I../../coreutils-6.12/src -I../lib -DENABLE_MATCHPATHCON=1 -I../../coreutils-6.12/lib -g -O2 -MT ginstall-prog-fprintf.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ginstall-prog-fprintf.Tpo -c -o ginstall-prog-fprintf.o `test -f 'prog-fprintf.c' || echo '../../coreutils-6.12/src/'`prog-fprintf.c mv -f .deps/ginstall-prog-fprintf.Tpo .deps/ginstall-prog-fprintf.Po gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I../../coreutils-6.12/src -I../lib -DENABLE_MATCHPATHCON=1 -I../../coreutils-6.12/lib -g -O2 -MT ginstall-copy.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ginstall-copy.Tpo -c -o ginstall-copy.o `test -f 'copy.c' || echo '../../coreutils-6.12/src/'`copy.c mv -f .deps/ginstall-copy.Tpo .deps/ginstall-copy.Po gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I../../coreutils-6.12/src -I../lib -DENABLE_MATCHPATHCON=1 -I../../coreutils-6.12/lib -g -O2 -MT ginstall-cp-hash.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ginstall-cp-hash.Tpo -c -o ginstall-cp-hash.o `test -f 'cp-hash.c' || echo '../../coreutils-6.12/src/'`cp-hash.c mv -f .deps/ginstall-cp-hash.Tpo .deps/ginstall-cp-hash.Po gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wl,--as-needed -o ginstall ginstall-install.o ginstall-prog-fprintf.o ginstall-copy.o ginstall-cp-hash.o ../lib/libcoreutils.a ../lib/libcoreutils.a -lselinux -lacl ginstall-install.o(.text+0x40b): In function `install_file_in_file': ../../coreutils-6.12/src/install.c:251: undefined reference to `matchpathcon_init_prefix' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ############################################################################# Here is where I find matchpathcon_init_prefix.
