This file describes how to build findutils starting from a set of code
checked out of CVS, rather than from a releasaed source distribution.
1. Prerequisites
* A C compiler
* GNU Autoconf version 2.57 or later (earlier versions *may* work)
* GNU Automake version 1.7 or later (earlier versions *may* work)
* CVS
2. Obtain a copy of Gnulib
To obtain a copy of the gnulib library, check it out via anonymous CVS
from the GNU CVS server. Make sure you check it out into a separate
directory, away from the findutils sources.
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib login
(when asked for a password, just press return)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib co gnulib
3. Generate a gnulib installation within the fileutils source tree
Change your working directory to the findutils source directory (that
is, the directory containing this file). Then run the following
command:-
sh import-gnulib.sh <name of the directory containing gnulib>
The above command may result in some errors from autoconf and
automake. These are benign unless they occur again in the following
step - so don;t worry about them unless you see them both times.
4. Generate the configure scripts and Makefile.in files.
aclocal -I gnulib/m4
autoheader
autoconf
automake --add-missing --copy
