Installation of Grep
Prepare Grep for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools \
--disable-perl-regexp --with-included-regex
The meaning of the configure options:
--disable-perl-regexp: This makes sure
that grep does not get linked against a PCRE library
that may be present on the host and would not be available once we enter the
chroot environment.
--with-included-regex: This ensures that
Grep uses its internal regular expression code. Without this switch, Grep will
use the code from Glibc, which is known to be slightly buggy.
Compile the programs:
make
(If you insist on testing the results, then issue:
make check.)
Then install them and their documentation:
make install
