Annotation of embedaddon/libiconv/djgpp/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: This is a port of GNU Libiconv 1.11 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
                      2: 
                      3: 1.:     DJGPP specific changes.
                      4:         =======================
                      5:         There are no DJGPP specific changes. This package should
                      6:         configure and compile out-of-the-box.
                      7:         Please read the documentation to become familiar with this
                      8:         product.
                      9: 
                     10: 
                     11: 2.:     Installing the binary package.
                     12:         ==============================
                     13: 
                     14: 2.1.:   Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation
                     15:         directory and unzip the binary distribution running *ONE* of
                     16:         the following commands:
                     17:           unzip32 licv111b.zip      or
                     18:           djtarx licv111b.zip       or
                     19:           pkunzip -d licv111b.zip
                     20: 
                     21: 
                     22: 
                     23: 3.:     Building the binaries from sources.
                     24:         ===================================
                     25: 
                     26: 3.1.:   To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages:
                     27:           djdev203.zip, bsh204b.zip, gcc2952b.zip,
                     28:           bnu210b.zip, mak3791b.zip, fil316b.zip,
                     29:           shl112b.zip, txt20b.zip, txi40b.zip,
                     30:           grep24b.zip and sed302b.zip
                     31: 
                     32: 
                     33:         All this packages can be found in the v2gnu directory of any
                     34:         Simtel.NET mirror.
                     35:         You will need bsh204b.zip and *NOT* a prior version or the build will fail.
                     36:         The same applies to djdev203.zip. You *MUST* use the updated versions of
                     37:         fil316b.zip (date: 2000-05-30) and shl112b.zip (date: 2000-08-11). This
                     38:         updated versions have been recompiled with djdev203.zip and know about
                     39:         the "/dev/env" functionality introduced with djdev203.zip. All the other
                     40:         packages are the ones I have used to build the binaries from this sources.
                     41:         Previuos and/or later versions of this packages may do the job as well but
                     42:         I have not tested this.
                     43: 
                     44: 3.2.:   Create a temporary directory and copy the source package: licv111s.zip
                     45:         into the temporary directory. If you download the source distribution
                     46:         from one of the DJGPP archives, just unzip it preserving the directory
                     47:         structure, runnig ONE of the following commands:
                     48:           unzip32 licv111s.zip      or
                     49:           djtarx licv111s.zip       or
                     50:           pkunzip -d licv111s.zip
                     51: 
                     52:         Source distributions downloaded from one of the GNU FTP sites need
                     53:         some more work to unpack.  First, you MUST use the `djtar' program to
                     54:         unzip the package.  That's because some file names in the official
                     55:         distributions need to be changed to avoid problems on the various
                     56:         platforms supported by DJGPP.  `djtar' can rename files on the fly
                     57:         given a file with name mappings.  The distribution includes a file
                     58:         `djgpp/fnchange.lst' with the necessary mappings.  So you need first
                     59:         to retrieve that file, and then invoke `djtar' to unpack the
                     60:         distribution.  Here's how:
                     61: 
                     62:           djtar -x -p -o libiconv-1.7/djgpp/fnchange.lst libiconv-1.7.tar.gz > lst
                     63:           djtar -x -n lst libiconv-1.7.tar.gz
                     64: 
                     65:         (The name of the distribution archive and the top-level directory will
                     66:         be different for versions other than 1.7.)
                     67: 
                     68: 3.3.:   The package is preconfigured for djdev203. To build the products you
                     69:         should run the following command:
                     70:           make
                     71: 
                     72:         After the compilation has finished, you can check the products
                     73:         running the command:
                     74:           make check
                     75: 
                     76:         To install the products run the command:
                     77:           make install
                     78: 
                     79:         This will install the products (iconv.exe iconv.h localcharset.h libconv.a
                     80:         libcharset.a iconv.1 iconv.3 iconv_open.3 iconv_close.3) into your DJGPP
                     81:         installation tree. As usual, prefix is defined as "/dev/env/DJDIR".
                     82:         If you prefer to install into same other directory run the command:
                     83:           make install prefix=z:/some/other/dir
                     84: 
                     85:         Of course, you should replace "z:/some/other/dir" by an appropriate path
                     86:         that will meet your requeriments.
                     87: 
                     88: 3.4.:   If you need/want to reconfigure the package you will have to run the
                     89:         following commands:
                     90:           make distclean
                     91:           djgpp\config
                     92: 
                     93:         Please note that you *MUST* use the "distclean" option or the config.cache
                     94:         file will *NOT* be deleted. In this case you are *NOT* reconfiguring
                     95:         because the configuration informations is read from the cache file instead
                     96:         of being newly computed.
                     97:         To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
                     98:         you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
                     99:         e.g:
                    100:           x:\src\gnu\libiconv.111\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/libiconv.111
                    101: 
                    102:         Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a 
                    103:         different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
                    104:         then you will run the following commands:
                    105:           z:
                    106:           md \build
                    107:           cd \build
                    108:           x:\src\gnu\libiconv.111\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/libiconv.111
                    109: 
                    110:         You *MUST* use forward slashes to specify the source directory.
                    111:         After having configured the package run the folowing commands to create
                    112:         the binaries and docs and install them:
                    113:           make
                    114:           make check
                    115:           make install
                    116: 
                    117:         Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
                    118:         comp.os.msdos.djgpp or djgpp@delorie.com. Libiconv specific bugs
                    119:         must be reported to Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org>.
                    120:
