6.21. Grep-2.19

The Grep package contains programs for searching through files.

6.21.1. Installation of Grep

Prepare Grep for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/tools \
    --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
    --without-included-regex

The meaning of the new configure option:

--without-included-regex

When cross-compiling, Grep's configure assumes there is no usable regex.h installed and instead uses the one included with Grep. This switch forces the use of the regex functions from Glibc.

Compile the package:

make

Install the package:

make install

Details on this package are located in Section 10.44.2, “Contents of Grep.”
