6.8. Findutils-4.7.0

The Findutils package contains programs to find files. These programs are provided to recursively search through a directory tree and to create, maintain, and search a database (often faster than the recursive find, but is unreliable if the database has not been recently updated).

Approximate build time: 0.2 SBU
Required disk space: 40 MB

6.8.1. Installation of Findutils

Prepare Findutils for compilation: 

./configure --prefix=/usr   \
            --host=$LFS_TGT \
            --build=$(build-aux/config.guess)

Compile the package: 

make

Install the package: 

make DESTDIR=$LFS install

Move the excutable to its final expected location: 

mv -v $LFS/usr/bin/find $LFS/bin
sed -i 's|find:=${BINDIR}|find:=/bin|' $LFS/usr/bin/updatedb

Details on this package are located in Section 8.53.2, “Contents of Findutils.”
