| 1 | This directory contains files required to build GNU Diffutils on | 
|---|
| 2 | MS_DOS and MS-Windows using the DJGPP tools. | 
|---|
| 3 |  | 
|---|
| 4 | To build Diffutils, you will need the following packages: | 
|---|
| 5 |  | 
|---|
| 6 | . the basic DJGPP development kit: GCC, Binutils, and djdevNNN.zip | 
|---|
| 7 | . a DJGPP port of Bash (bsh204b.zip) | 
|---|
| 8 | . GNU Fileutils (fil40b.zip) | 
|---|
| 9 | . GNU Textutils (txt20b.zip) | 
|---|
| 10 | . GNU Sh-utils (shl112b.zip) | 
|---|
| 11 | . GNU Grep (grep24b.zip) | 
|---|
| 12 | . GNU Awk (gwk306b.zip) | 
|---|
| 13 | . GNU Sed (sed302b.zip) | 
|---|
| 14 | . GNU Make (mak3791b.zip) | 
|---|
| 15 |  | 
|---|
| 16 | The package names in parentheses indicate the oldest version which | 
|---|
| 17 | should work; newer versions are okay.  All those packages can be found | 
|---|
| 18 | on the usual DJGPP sites, in the v2gnu directory.  Please see | 
|---|
| 19 | <http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/getting.html> for a list of DJGPP sites. | 
|---|
| 20 |  | 
|---|
| 21 | The source distribution of Diffutils you find on DJGPP sites comes | 
|---|
| 22 | preconfigured for the latest officially released version of the DJGPP | 
|---|
| 23 | library, and without NLS support.  If that is what you have installed, | 
|---|
| 24 | and if you don't need NLS support in Diffutils, you don't need to run | 
|---|
| 25 | the configure script; proceed directly to the "make" step below. | 
|---|
| 26 |  | 
|---|
| 27 | If you are building the official GNU distribution, or your library is | 
|---|
| 28 | not the latest official release, or if you modified your headers or | 
|---|
| 29 | installed optional libraries, or if you want to have NLS support in | 
|---|
| 30 | Diffutils, you will have to reconfigure the package.  To this end, | 
|---|
| 31 | after unpacking the sources, chdir to the top-level directory created | 
|---|
| 32 | by unpacking, and type this command: | 
|---|
| 33 |  | 
|---|
| 34 | ms\config [nls] | 
|---|
| 35 |  | 
|---|
| 36 | The "nls" option, if given, will configure the package for NLS | 
|---|
| 37 | support. | 
|---|
| 38 |  | 
|---|
| 39 | This will run for a while and create the Makefile's and the config.h | 
|---|
| 40 | header file. | 
|---|
| 41 |  | 
|---|
| 42 | Next type "make"; this will build the programs. | 
|---|
| 43 |  | 
|---|
| 44 | To install the package, type "make install". | 
|---|
| 45 |  | 
|---|
| 46 | That's it! |
