Problem while building grep 2.6 and possible solution

[Daniel . Jaime]

Hi Developers,

this is to report a problem while building grep 2.6 and to give possible
solution.

When the execution of the makefile comes to build main.c I get the
following messages (sources were untarred
in /export/home/freeware/sources/grep-2.6, executables were build
in /export/home/freeware/objects/grep-2.6):

        .

Obviously file /export/home/freeware/objects/grep-2.6/src/getopt.h is
missing. However it can be found
in /export/home/freeware/objects/grep-2.6/lib/getopt.h , so defining a link
solves the problem

        ln
-s /export/home/freeware/objects/grep-2.6/lib/getopt.h 
/export/home/freeware/objects/grep-2.6/src/getopt.h
 2>&1
        .
        .
        .

          AR       libgrep.a
        .
        .
        .

This workaround helped me solving the problem, however not everybody will
find it.
