Grep The current Grep package has many bugs, especially in the support of multibyte locales. The following consolidated patch from Debian fixes some of them, improves the number of individual tests which are passed, and much improves the speed in UTF-8 locales: patch -Np1 -i ../&grep-debian-patch; Prepare Grep for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/bin \ --without-included-regex --without-included-regex The configure check for Glibc's regex library is broken when building against Glibc-&glibc-version;. This switch forces the use of Glibc's regex library. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make check || true There are known test failures in the fmbtest.sh tests. The "|| true" construct is used to avoid automated build scripts failing due to the test failures. A good run will show 1 failure from 14 tests, although the test failure will detail 2 failed sub-tests. Install the package: make install Installed programs egrep, fgrep, and grep Short Descriptions egrep Prints lines matching an extended regular expression egrep fgrep Prints lines matching a list of fixed strings fgrep grep Prints lines matching a basic regular expression grep
