The Grep package contains programs for searching through files.
Approximate build time: 0.1 SBU Required disk space: 5.8 MB
Grep installation depends on: Bash, Binutils, Coreutils, Diffutils, GCC, Gettext, Glibc, Make, Sed, Texinfo.
Prepare Grep for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools \
--disable-perl-regexp --with-included-regex
The meaning of the configure options:
--disable-perl-regexp: This makes sure that grep does not get linked against a PCRE library that may be present on the host and would not be available once we enter the chroot environment.
--with-included-regex: This ensures that Grep uses its internal regular expression code. Without this switch, Grep will use the code from Glibc, which is known to be slightly buggy.
Compile the programs:
make
(If you insist on testing the results, then issue: make check.)
Then install them and their documentation:
make install
