Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:58:42 +0200 Content-Disposition: inline X-Y-GMX-Trusted: 0 This is release 4 of the port of GNU Findutils 4.2.33 to MSDOS/DJGPP. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= This is a bug fix release. One issue has been solved here: - find will no longer fail with an error message like this: cannot get current directory: No such file or directory (ENOENT) if it run on WinNT/2K/XP with LFN enabled and if CWD is the root directory of the drive. This is not a bug in the find port itself but in the code of the internal function __get_current_directory() that is used by function __canonicalize_path(). This bug can be easily demonstrated by starting cmd.exe with the following command: start /Dc:\ cmd.exe Please note that the drive specifier character is lower case. Now start find of the previous release from the root directory with the command: find It will fail with no more output than this: C:\djgpp\bin/find.exe: cannot get current directory: No such file or directory (ENOENT) The function that fails is lstat() that calls _fixpath() that calls __get_current_directory() that is not able to handle lower case drive specifier character if LFN support is enabled and the CWD is the root directory. This issue has been fixed in the CVS version of fixpath.c and thus in the version used in the new version of libsupp too. This means that you must download the package: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/lsupp52a.zip to be able to configure and compile the sources. Of course, if you are not interested in compiling the sources you do not need to download and install lsupp52a.zip at all. Thanks to Robert Riebisch to calling my attention about this issue and for help debugging it. For futher information about GNU Findutils please read the info docs and the NEWS file. Compiling the sources. ====================== As usual the sources are configured for stock djdev203. - If you compile the sources with djdev203, you must proceed as usual running the following commands from the top srcdir, this is findutils-4.2.33: make make install The testsuite does not work because GNU dejagnu is not available. - If you compile the sources with djdev204 it will be essential to reconfigure sources because the distributed one have been configured for djdev203. For this purpose you *must* delete ./djgpp/config.cache and ./config_h.org. or the build process will fail. In conclusion, to rebuild the findutils binaries with djdev204 run the following commands from the top srcdir (findutils-4.2.33): rm djgpp/config.cache rm config_h.org make clean djgpp/config.bat make make install The port consists of the usual three packages produced using stock djdev203 that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2008-06-27): Findutils 4.2.33 binary, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/fnd4233br4.zip Findutils 4.2.33 dvi, html, pdf and ps format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/fnd4233dr4.zip Findutils 4.2.33 source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/fnd4233sr4.zip For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2008-06-27): Findutils 4.2.33 binary, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/fnd4233br4.zip Send findutils specific bug reports to .
