6.13. Grep-2.5.1a

The Grep package contains programs for searching through files.

6.13.1. Installation of Grep

This patch updates config.guess and config.sub for MIPS processors:

patch -Np1 -i ../grep-2.5.1a-config_update-1.patch

Prepare Grep for compilation:

CC="${CC} ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/tools \
   --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
   --disable-perl-regexp

The meaning of the configure options:

--disable-perl-regexp

This ensures that the grep program does not get linked against a Perl Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library that may be present on the host but will not be available when building the final system.

Compile the package:

make

Install the package:

make install

Details on this package are located in Section 10.34.2, “Contents of Grep.”
