OK, I'll try to use findutils-4.2.18.tar.gz into my own branch. Another problem is, when I type "git checkout FINDUTILS_4_3_5-1" to switch to the version 4.3.5, and use "sh import-gnulib.sh" for preparation, an error arises: ... configure.in:70: error: AC_REQUIRE: circular dependency of AC_GNU_SOU

Yes, I also guess that I have to use the equally old gnulib. The problem is I can use git to switch to the old version of findutils, but I don't know how to obtain the corresponding old snapshot of gnulib. 2011/4/3 Kamil Dudka > On Saturday 02 April 2011 19:54:48 Kai YU wrote: > > Hi, I'm c
