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 * 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.
18 cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib co gnulib
20 3. Generate a gnulib installation within the fileutils source tree
22 Change your working directory to the findutils source directory (that
23 is, the directory containing this file). Then run the following
26 sh import-gnulib.sh <name of the directory containing gnulib>
28 The above command may result in some errors from autoconf and
29 automake. These are benign unless they occur again in step 5
30 so don't worry about them unless you see them both times.
32 4. Generate the configure scripts and Makefile.in files.
34 aclocal -I m4 -I gnulib/m4 && \
37 automake --add-missing --copy
39 5. Run "configure" and "make" in the normal way.
