上一篇文章总结了：MSYS2 介绍、下载与安装、Pacman常用命令
本文将演示如何使用 MSYS2 编译 coreutils 源码。
官网镜像仓库：Index of /gnu/coreutils
Github 仓库：coreutils/coreutils/tags
这里下载目前最新版本：coreutils-9.4.tar.gz
虽然但是我还是要提一下：MSYS2 安装完成后，默认会安装coreutils软件包，版本为 8.32
Administrator@GC MSYS ~
$ pacman -Qs coreutils
local/coreutils 8.32-5
The basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU operating system
一般情况下也没必要使用最新版，这里仅是为了演示如何使用MSYS2编译项目，所以就拿coreutils试试。

我这里执行make后有报错（见上述示例），这个错误困扰我两天了，在网上查阅了多资料，最终在 can’t compile coreutils-9.3 any more after upgrade to cygwin-3.4.8 找到了原因。原因是这个问题是cygwin-3.4.8版本的一个bug，而我的MSYS2依赖的刚好是cygwin-3.4.8版本，真的是好巧不巧。。。
MSYS2中依赖的cygwin，对应的是 msys2-runtime、msys2-runtime-devel 软件包。
Administrator@GC MSYS ~
$ pacman -Qs msys2-runtime
local/msys2-runtime 3.4.8-1
Posix emulation engine for Windows
local/msys2-runtime-devel 3.4.8-1
MSYS2 headers and libraries
另外写这篇文章的前一天，cygwin官网已经修复了这个问题，在cygwin-3.4.9版本。
cygwin/cygwin/tree/cygwin-3.4.9
cygwin/cygwin/compare/cygwin-3.4.7…cygwin-3.4.8
cygwin/cygwin/compare/cygwin-3.4.8…cygwin-3.4.9
cygwin 3.4.9-1 问题修复
msys2/msys2-rumtime 仓库也同步了 cygwin-3.4.9 版本：
msys2/msys2-runtime
msys2/msys2-runtime/compare/cygwin-3.4.8…cygwin-3.4.9
msys2/MSYS2-packages 软件包代码仓库也同步了 msys2-runtime 为 3.4.9 版本：
msys2/MSYS2-packages
msys2/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/msys2-runtime
但是有个问题是，MSYS2 软件仓库的msys2-runtime、msys2-runtime-devel目前仍是 3.4.8 版本，比源码要落后（具体什么时候更新到3.4.9，我也不清楚）。
https://mirror.umd.edu/msys2/msys/x86_64/
也就是说目前，无法通过 pacman -Syu msys2-runtime 更新到3.4.9版本。
当然你可以自己编译最新版本，然后通过pacman -U <本地软件包>进行安装，可参考：Creating Packages
自己编译还是有些麻烦的，这里找到了一种简便方法供参考：
方案：修改 /usr/include/sys/cpuset.h文件
在MSYS2安装路径的usr/include/sys/目录下，找到cpuset.h文件（前提是已安装了msys2-runtime-devel，安装gcc时会自动安装这个）
将文件中的#include <stdlib.h>、#include <string.h> 注释掉。
修改完上述的问题后，（先执行下make clean），重新执行make命令，又遇到了如下报错。
In file included from src/system.h:172,
from src/chroot.c:26:
./lib/gettext.h:26:11: fatal error: libintl.h: No such file or directory
26 | # include <libintl.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [Makefile:12465: src/chroot.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/c/Chen/Mytools/coreutils-9.4'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:22396: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/Chen/Mytools/coreutils-9.4'
make: *** [Makefile:8835: all] Error 2
这个报错也困扰我了好久，因为我不知道编译 coreutils 都需要哪些依赖。后来通过
Package: coreutils | MSYS2 Packages 找到了MSYS2官网在构建coreutils-8.32时依赖项
啥也别说了，把这些依赖项都安装上吧。
（有些我已经装过了，我这里通过 pacman -Qs 查看，autotools gmp-devel help2man还没有装）
Administrator@GC MSYS ~
$ pacman -S autotools gmp-devel help2man
安装完依赖软件包后，（先执行下make clean），再次执行make命令。
这次很顺利，编译生成了Windows可执行的exe实用程序

执行make install命令，打包编译生成的可执行程序。
需要注意的是，在执行 make install 命令时，要以 root 用户或者使用 sudo 命令来执行，以便拥有足够的权限进行安装。
说明：
我这里不想改动MSYS2自带的coreutils-8.32-5版本，所以就不执行make install了。因为前面我在执行./configure 时忘记添加 --prefix 参数指定安装路径了，所以这里手动搞一下。
Administrator@GC MSYS /c/Chen/Mytools/coreutils-9.4
$ mkdir bin
Administrator@GC MSYS /c/Chen/Mytools/coreutils-9.4
$ cp src/*.exe bin
Administrator@GC MSYS /c/Chen/Mytools/coreutils-9.4
$ cp /usr/bin/msys-2.0.dll bin
注意：通过MSYS2编译的exe程序，依赖msys-2.0.dll库，因此在脱离MSYS2环境使用时，需要将msys-2.0.dll一并打包。

C:\Chen\Mytools\coreutils-9.4\bin>
注意：
因为我没有在MSYS环境安装最新版本的coreutils，所以在MSYS环境下仍是自带的coreutils-8.32版本。通过cmd命令，切换出MSYS环境，进行了如上验证。可以看到最新编译的coreutils-9.4版本中的expr、ls、grep、whoami命令可以正常使用。
完美~
另外可以将C:\Chen\Mytools\coreutils-9.4\bin> 添加到环境变量PATH中，这样就可以在cmd、powershell 的任何工作路径下使用新编译的coreutils工具包中的命令了（这里就不演示了）
最后，在我即将发布这篇文章的时候，我又看了一眼 MSYS2 软件包仓库的msys2-runtime、msys2-runtime-devel版本，已经更新到了 3.4.9 ，所以你们是幸福的，直接更新到 3.4.9 ，就不会遇到我前面遇到的第一个问题了。

最后总结：
在编译coreutils-9.4的过程中，虽然遇到了问题，中途几次都想放弃，但是最终还是找到了解决方案，在解决问题的过程中，收获蛮多的。比如：
