GNU Coreutils 7.4 built for Mac OS X

By Xjs.

Hi,

recently I built myself the GNU coreutils 7.4 for Mac OS X, as Intel-only binaries. So if you have an Intel mac, and you’d like the GNU coreutils instead of the BSD ones on your Mac, I’ll share them with you.

It was about time that I tried out the Mac OS X Package Maker anyway, so I created an installer package that you can just hit and run. If you’re already running Mac OS X 10.6, you can also use this package containing 32- and 64-bit universal Intel binaries.

Have fun with it,
Jannis.

  1. After installing, most *nix commands fail (including built-ins, not just the GNU coreutils), eg:
    $ cat somefile
    dyld: unknown required load command 0×80000022
    Trace/BPT trap
    Is there a way of getting this to work? Or at least to reverse the installation? I am using OSX 10.5.7

  2. Even “ls” no longer works… would be really great to find some way of solving this issue…

  3. An interesting fact, coreutils built with 10.6 don’t work with 10.5. I created a 10.5 package now that you can install over the other one. Thanks for pointing out.

  4. Thank you very much! Everything is working properly now! Great work, compiling them by hand is a pain!
