You need to apply the -patch that fixes some variable conflicts you'd otherwise end up -with: +patch which fixes the following issues: + + +Findutils declares a function called basename, but this +function name is already used by the C standard libraries. This patch +changes the Findutils version of basename function so that it is called +basename2 instead. + +Findutils uses an incorrect way to use library files. It +declares library functions, to tell the compiler what the name of the +function will be when the libraries are linked in. This syntax is invalid +and causes compiler warnings/errors. This patch removes this improper +syntax. + +Every GNU package is supposed use a macro called _GNU_SOURCE. +This macro enables declarations of GNU library extension functions and so the +compiler will be able to detect name conflicts between functions more easily. +This patch adds this macro to the source code. + patch -Np1 -i ../findutils-&findutils-patch-version;.patch -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
