programs: bigram, code,
find, frcode, locate, updatedb, and xargs
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=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/findutils \
--localstatedir=/var/lib/locate
The meaning of the configure options:
--localstatedir
This option changes the location of the locate database to be in
/var/lib/locate, which is
FHS-compliant.
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue: make
check.
Install the package:
make install
Some of the scripts in the LFS-Bootscripts package depend on
find. As /usr may not be available during the early stages
of booting, this program needs to be on the root partition. The
updatedb script also
needs to be modified to correct an explicit path:
mv -v /usr/bin/find /bin
sed -i -e 's/find:=${BINDIR}/find:=\/bin/' /usr/bin/updatedb
