4<title>Installing Findutils</title>
5
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
8patch, which fixes the following issues:</para>
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
16<listitem><para>Findutils uses library files in an incorrect way. It
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.
23This macro enables declarations of GNU library extension functions so the
24compiler will be able to detect name conflicts between functions more easily.
25This patch adds this macro to the source code.</para></listitem>
