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, but would not be available once we enter the
chroot environment.
--with-included-regex: This ensures that
Grep uses its internal regular expression code. Without it, it will use
the code from Glibc, which is known to be slightly buggy.
Compile the programs:
make
As discussed earlier, we don't recommend running the test suites for the
temporary tools here in this chapter. If you still want to run the Grep test
suite anyway, the following command will do so:
make check
Then install them and their documentation:
make install
