Hi all,

I am just curious in learning about coreutils in linux.I have downloaded the source.

I just want to know how it works.I could able to see a file inside src folder called mkdir.c.

I have tried to compile that mkdir.c file using gcc but it didn't worked.Do i need to follow any procedure for that.

I tried compiling a basic c program it worked but compiling mkdir.c file didn't worked.

Your suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Dinesh.

What errors did the gcc return?

Separate files.c are not supposed to compile in coreutils.

The required files ( lib/configmake.h and src/version.h )
will only be generated, when make is run from the top directory.
