1 This file describes how to build findutils starting from a set of code
2 checked out of CVS, rather than from a released source distribution.
6 * A C compiler, linker and software development libraries (the standard
8 * GNU Autoconf version 2.57 or later (earlier versions *may* work)
9 * GNU Automake version 1.7 or later (earlier versions *may* work)
10 * GNU m4 version 1.4 or later
11 * GNU gettext (unless you use configure --disable-nls)
13 2. Obtain a copy of Gnulib
15 To obtain a copy of the gnulib library, check it out via anonymous CVS
16 from the GNU CVS server. Make sure you check it out into a separate
17 directory, away from the findutils sources.
21 cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.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 4. Generate the configure scripts and Makefile.in files.
35 ... or use the alternative method ...
37 aclocal -I m4 -I gnulib/m4 && \
40 automake --add-missing --copy
43 5. Run "configure" and "make" in the normal way. If you have GNU
44 libintl installed, you can just run "configure". Otherwise, run
45 "configure --disable-nls".
