1 This file describes how to build findutils starting from a set of code
2 checked out of CVS, rather than from a releasaed source distribution.
6 * GNU Autoconf version 2.57 or later (earlier versions *may* work)
7 * GNU Automake version 1.7 or later (earlier versions *may* work)
10 2. Obtain a copy of Gnulib
12 To obtain a copy of the gnulib library, check it out via anonymous CVS
13 from the GNU CVS server. Make sure you check it out into a separate
14 directory, away from the findutils sources.
16 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib login
17 (when asked for a password, just press return)
19 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib co gnulib
23 3. Generate a gnulib installation within the fileutils source tree
25 Change your working directory to the findutils source directory (that
26 is, the directory containing this file). Then run the following
29 sh import-gnulib.sh <name of the directory containing gnulib>
31 The above command may result in some errors from autoconf and
32 automake. These are benign unless they occur again in the following
33 step - so don;t worry about them unless you see them both times.
35 4. Remove the "@FNMATCH_H@" from gnulib/lib/Makefile.am (it appears as
36 a dependency of "all-local").
38 5. Generate the configure scripts and Makefile.in files.
43 automake --add-missing --copy
45 6. Run "configure" and "make" in the normal way.
