24*75f6d617Schristos
25*75f6d617SchristosIf you have a problem with internationalization, you might be able to
26*75f6d617Schristoswork around it as described in ABOUT-NLS by invoking `./configure
27*75f6d617Schristos--disable-nls'.  Many of the problems arise from dynamic linking
28*75f6d617Schristosissues on non-GNU platforms (e.g. with the iconv library).  Such
29*75f6d617Schristosproblems tend to be shared by other GNU applications on these
30*75f6d617Schristosplatforms, and can usually be fixed by carefully tweaking your non-GNU
31*75f6d617Schristosinstallation.  If you have an older version of libiconv, please
32*75f6d617Schristosupgrade to the latest one, preferably libiconv-1.8 or newer.
33*75f6d617Schristos(libiconv-1.8 is not yet available as of this writing, but it should
34*75f6d617Schristosbe out soon.)  If the problem seems isolated to diffutils, though,
35*75f6d617Schristosplease report a bug.
36*75f6d617Schristos
37*75f6d617SchristosThis program requires a Standard C compiler (C89 or later); if you
38*75f6d617Schristoshave an older K&R compiler, please install GCC first.
39*75f6d617Schristos
40*75f6d617SchristosIf you make changes to the source code, you may need recent test
41*75f6d617Schristosversions of GNU build tools to regenerate the intermediate files.  The
42*75f6d617Schristosfollowing versions were used to generate the intermediate files in
