<title>Installation of Grep</title>

<para>Prepare Grep for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/tools \
    --disable-perl-regexp --with-included-regex</userinput></screen>

<para>The meaning of the configure options:</para>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><userinput>--disable-perl-regexp</userinput>: This makes sure
that <command>grep</command> does not get linked against a PCRE library
that may be present on the host and would not be available once we enter the
chroot environment.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><userinput>--with-included-regex</userinput>: This ensures that
Grep uses its internal regular expression code. Without this switch, Grep will
use the code from Glibc, which is known to be slightly buggy.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>Compile the programs:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>(If you insist on testing the results, then issue:
<userinput>make check</userinput>.)</para>

<para>Then install them and their documentation:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
