Diffutils POSIX requires the diff command to treat whitespace characters according to the current locale. The following patch fixes the non-compliance issue: patch -Np1 -i ../&diffutils-i18n-patch; The above patch will cause the Diffutils build system to attempt to rebuild the diff.1 man page using the unavailable program help2man. The result is an unreadable man page for diff. We can avoid this by updating the timestamp on the file man/diff.1: touch man/diff.1 Prepare Diffutils for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr Compile the package: make This package does not come with a test suite. Install the package: make install Installed programs cmp, diff, diff3, and sdiff Short Descriptions cmp Compares two files and reports whether or in which bytes they differ cmp diff Compares two files or directories and reports which lines in the files differ diff diff3 Compares three files line by line diff3 sdiff Merges two files and interactively outputs the results sdiff
