Thanks!
but unfortunately, I run into another issue for 'make distcheck' regarding to
the `tar -J' option:
.....
mkdir -p /home/jeff/opensource_dev/coreutils/tests/torture/coreutils/test
/bin/bash /home/jeff/opensource_dev/coreutils/build-aux/missing --run tar -Jxf
coreutils-8.4.86-e6f6bb.tar.xz -C
/home/jeff/opensource_dev/coreutils/tests/torture/coreutils/test
tar: invalid option -- J
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
WARNING: I can't seem to be able to run `tar' with the given arguments.
You may want to install GNU tar or Free paxutils, or check the
command line arguments.
make[2]: *** [my-distcheck] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jeff/opensource_dev/coreutils'
make[1]: *** [distcheck-hook] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jeff/opensource_dev/coreutils'
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1
Maybe we need another approach to handle the `xz` not available case.
Thanks,
-Jeff
