Details on this package are located in Section 8.62.2, “Contents of Findutils.”
The Findutils package contains programs to find files. Programs are provided to search through all the files in a directory tree and to create, maintain, and search a database (often faster than the recursive find, but unreliable unless the database has been updated recently). Findutils also supplies the xargs program, which can be used to run a specified command on each file selected by a search.
Prepare Findutils for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var/lib/locate \
--host=$LFS_TGT \
--build=$(build-aux/config.guess)
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make DESTDIR=$LFS install
