X-Authentication-Warning: delorie.com: mail set sender to djgpp-bounces using -f Message-Id: <201506211525.t5LFPn5j027560@delorie.com> Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 17:22:30 +0200 From: "Juan Manuel Guerrero (juan DOT guerrero AT gmx DOT de)" To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: Release 5 of the DJGPP port of GNU findutils 4.2.33 uploaded (DJGPP 2.05 only). Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com 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. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= - This port is based on the previous port, so that the DJGPP specific user visible changes are almost the same than those for the 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. This means that the slashes in paths will be transformed to backslashes so that DOS programs that are not capable to work with unix-style paths will work. The testsuite has not been ported because it requires dejagnu that has not been ported yet. To build the binaries from the sources LFN support will be needed. I have also included the old updatedb.bat but I have not tested it. This batch file was a DOS replacement for updatedb but I do not longer maintain it. - This is the first port that has been compiled using djdev205. Starting with this port version I will no longer support neither djdev204 nor djdev203. - The port has been tested by using it. I have used them only on WinXP. It has worked flawlessly. I do not konw if this will ever be the case on FreeDOS. I have never used/tested them in that environment. - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3. There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS. Due to the massive use of long file names it will not be possible to configure and compile without LFN support. The port has been compiled using gcc510 and bnu225br2. As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are located in the /djgpp directory. The sources have been configured to be build in the /_build.205 directory. If for some reason it does not work for you, delete it contennts and configure from scratch again. For further information about GNU findutils please read the info docs and NEWS file.
