This is a port of GNU findutils 4.2.33 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  This package contains the GNU find, xargs, and locate programs.  find and
  xargs comply with POSIX 1003.2, as far as I know (with the exception of the
  "+" modifier for the "-exec" action, which isn't implemented yet).  They also
  support a large number of additional options, some borrowed from Unix and
  some unique to GNU.



1.:     DJGPP specific changes.
        =======================

        This port is based on previous port, so that the DJGPP specific changes
        are almost the same than those for those previous version of findutils.
        The port provides the DOS versions of the commands: exec, execdir, ok
        and okdir called dosexec, dosexecdir, dosok and dosokdir accordingly.
        They will work as in the previous ports of findutils.
        The testsuite has not been ported because it requires dejagnu that has
        not been ported.  To build the binaries from the sources LFN support
        will be needed.  Please note that the distributed source package has
        been configured for djdev205 to be build in a separated directory
        called _build.205.  It has been configured on WinXP SP3.  As usual,
        all the djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, readme files, etc.)
        are stored in the /djgpp directory.


2.:     Installing the binary package.
        ==============================

2.1.:   Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation directory
        and unzip it running *ONE* of the following commands:
          unzip32 fnd4233br5.zip      or
          djtarx fnd4233br5.zip       or
          pkunzip -d fnd4233br5.zip

        For futher information about GNU Findutils please read the info docs
        and the NEWS file.



3.:     Building the binaries from sources.
        ===================================

3.1.:   Create a temporary directory and copy the source package into the
        directory.  If you download the source distribution from one of the
        DJGPP sites, just unzip it preserving the directory structure
        running *ONE* of the following commands:
          unzip32 fnd4233sr5.zip      or
          djtarx fnd4233sr5.zip       or
          pkunzip -d fnd4233sr5.zip

3.2.:   To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages:
          djdev205.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          bsh205bbr3.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          gccNNNb.zip, bnuNNNb.zip, makNNNb.zip, filNNNb.zip, shlNNNb.zip,
          txtNNNb.zip, txiNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip, sedNNNb.zip, mktmpNNb.zip
          and difNNNb.zip.

        If you want to configure and compile this packages with NLS support
        enabled you must install licvNNNb.zip, lunsNNNb.zip and gtxNNNNb.zip.

        If you want to run the check you will need also:
          difNNNb.zip and mktmpNNNb.zip

        NNN represents the latest version number of the binary packages.  All
        this packages can be found in the /v2gnu directory of any
        ftp.delorie.com mirror.
        You will need bsh205bbr3.zip or later and *NOT* a prior version or
        the build will fail.  The same applies to djdev205.zip.

3.3.:   The package has been configured for both DJGPP 2.05.  There is a
        separate build directory under the top srcdir (aka findutils-4.2.33).
        To build the binaries cd into _build.205 directory.  If for some reason
        you want to reconfigure the package cd into the build directory and run
        the following commands:
          del config.cache
          make clean
          ..\djgpp\config ./..

        Please note that you *MUST* delete the config.cache file in the djgpp
        subdir or you will not really reconfigure the sources because the
        configuration informations will be read from the cache file instead
        of being newly computed.

        config.bat, among other things, will start the configure script passing
        to it a couple of arguments.  You can control these argument passing the
        following command line arguments to config.bat:
          nls or no-nls, default nls.  NLS support.
          cache or no-cache, default cache.
          dep or no-dep, default no-dep.  No dependency tracking.
        All other configure specific options are not set by config.bat so their
        values are left as they are.  If no arguments are passed to config.bat
        then the default values are used.


        To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
        you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
        e.g:
          x:\src\gnu\findutils-4.2.33\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/findutils-4.2.33

        Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a
        different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
        then you will run the following commands:
          z:
          md \build
          cd \build
          x:\src\gnu\findutils-4.2.33\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/findutils-4.2.33

        The order of the options and the srcdir option does not matter.  You
        *MUST* use forward slashes to specify the source directory.

        The batch file will set same environment variables, make MSDOS specific
        modifications to the Makefile.in's and supply all other needed options
        to the configure script.

3.4.:   To compile the package run from the directory where you have configured
        the sources the command:
          make

3.5.:   The testsuite will not work because it requires that GNU dejagnu is
        installed.

3.6.:   To install the binaries and info docs run the following command from
        the directory where you have configured the sources:
          make install

        This will install the products into your DJGPP installation tree given
        by the default prefix "/dev/env/DJDIR".  If you prefer to install them
        into some other directory you will have to set prefix to the appropriate
        value:
          make install prefix=z:/some/other/place
