Details on this package are located in Section 10.28.2, “Contents of Findutils.”
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 unreliable if the database has not been recently updated).
Findutils has an issue with cross-compiling where it can't find getline. Fix it here:
echo "am_cv_func_working_getline=yes" >> config.cache
Prepare Findutils for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools \
--host=${LFS_TARGET} --cache-file=config.cache
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
