Details on this package are located in Section 6.34.2, “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).
Prepare Findutils for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue:
make check
Install the package:
make install
