User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/hlfs/wiki/sed
This version of Sed assumes our malloc behaves like Glibc's, but in uClibc this
compatability is optional. This bug was fixed upstream by adding
malloc to Sed:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2005-08/msg00112.html.
The following patch instead modifies Sed for a malloc which behaves like uClibc's:
patch -Np1 -i ../sed-4.1.5-uClibc-1.patch
Prepare Sed for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools --without-included-regex
The meaning of the configure option:
--without-included-regex
Sed prefers to use its own regex routines by default, for wider portability, but we have these routines in libc and do not need the included version. This also removes a warning about redefining __mempcpy.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
