6.58.1. Installation of Findutils
First, suppress a test which on some machines can loop forever:
sed -i 's/test-lock..EXEEXT.//' tests/Makefile.in
sed -i 's/test-lock..EXEEXT.//' tests/Makefile.in
Next, make some fixes required by glibc-2.28 and later:
sed -i 's/IO_ftrylockfile/IO_EOF_SEEN/' gl/lib/*.c
sed -i '/unistd/a #include <sys/sysmacros.h>' gl/lib/mountlist.c echo "#define _IO_IN_BACKUP 0x100" >> gl/lib/stdio-impl.h
sed -i 's/IO_ftrylockfile/IO_EOF_SEEN/' gl/lib/*.c
sed -i '/unistd/a #include <sys/sysmacros.h>' gl/lib/mountlist.c echo "#define _IO_IN_BACKUP 0x100" >> gl/lib/stdio-impl.h
Prepare Findutils for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/lib/locate
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/lib/locate
The meaning of the configure options:
--localstatedir
This option changes the location of the locate database to be in /var/lib/locate, which is FHS-compliant.
Compile the package:
make
make
To test the results, issue:
make check
make check
Install the package:
make install
make install
Some of the scripts in the LFS-Bootscripts package depend on find. As /usr may not be available during the early stages of booting, this program needs to be on the root partition. The updatedb script also needs to be modified to correct an explicit path:
mv -v /usr/bin/find /bin
sed -i 's|find:=${BINDIR}|find:=/bin|' /usr/bin/updatedb
mv -v /usr/bin/find /bin
sed -i 's|find:=${BINDIR}|find:=/bin|' /usr/bin/updatedb
