Error compiling on Fedora 30

Hi, I tried following the instructions to compile Redox listed in the repo and met the following issues. I tried both the script and cloning the repo manually, following the help section after each failure.

Description

• patch, aclocal and automake were required but not installed (based on the book my impression was that they should be installed by the script)
• failure due to undefined reference to `setrlimit', some logs below

I tried looking for something related from before and found this, not sure if it's relevant.

Let me know if there's something I should try or have overlooked. Thanks for your work on Redox.

Seems like setrlimit is not (yet) implemented in relibc. See https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc/blob/master/src/header/sys_resource/mod.rs#L85 (setrlimit is commented out and there is no implementation; and looking at the getrlimit implementation for redox this is also still a todo).

Just compiled on Fedora 30, so maybe this has been fixed. A few dependencies were missing for me, but I added them in this MR.

Seems like it has been fixed indeed (by disabeling use of getrlimit in dash) in this commit.

hey there I'm on fedora 31 and I experienced the same issue. @colinfruit I needed to install libtool, perl-Pod-Xhtml, gperf, libpng-devel and patch, too.

Old issue, Fedora 38 works normally with mature support.
