5
[a1d3af6]6<para>The Findutils package is quite old and it has problems compiling
7against newer Glibc versions (Glibc-2.0.x and up). You need to apply the
[fdfb226]8patch, which fixes the following issues:</para>
[a20bfb4]9
10<itemizedlist>
11<listitem><para>Findutils declares a function called basename, but this
12function name is already used by the C standard libraries. This patch
13changes the Findutils version of basename function so that it is called
14basename2 instead.</para></listitem>
15
[fdfb226]16<listitem><para>Findutils uses library files in an incorrect way. It
[a20bfb4]17declares library functions, to tell the compiler what the name of the
18function will be when the libraries are linked in. This syntax is invalid
19and causes compiler warnings/errors. This patch removes this improper
20syntax.</para></listitem>
21
22<listitem><para>Every GNU package is supposed use a macro called _GNU_SOURCE.
[fdfb226]23This macro enables declarations of GNU library extension functions so the
[a20bfb4]24compiler will be able to detect name conflicts between functions more easily.
25This patch adds this macro to the source code.</para></listitem>
