<title>Installation of Grep</title>
<para>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:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&grep-debian-patch;</userinput></screen>
<para>Upstream have fixed some of the documentation, and changed some of the
tests and the expected results in the newest test scripts. This means that
not so many of the individual tests fail:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&grep-fixes-patch;</userinput></screen>
<para>Prepare Grep for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/usr \

<variablelist>
<title>The meaning of the configure switch:</title>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--without-included-regex</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>The configure check for glibc's regex library is broken when
building against glibc-2.8. This switch forces the use of glibc's
regex library.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Compile the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>
<para>To test the results, issue:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">make check || true</userinput></screen>
<para>There are known test failures in the <command>foad1.sh</command> and
<command>fmbtest.sh</command> tests. The "|| true" construct is
used to avoid build automated build scripts failing due to the test failures.
A good run will show 2 failures from 14 tests, but if you look at the
output you will see in excess of forty individual tests which failed - these
are all in the new tests added since the previous version.</para>
