The files Makefile.emx (for EMX/gcc) and -Makefile.msc (for MSC 5.1 or 6.00A) should work with any Unix-like -make, including Ndmake 4.5 and dmake. - - An alternative makegawk.bat file exists for compiling with MSC 5.1 -or 6.00A. You may need to put CRs at the end of each line in the -makegawk.bat, Makefile.emx, and Makefile.msc files. - - If using MSC 5.1, you will also have to copy the Microsoft library -routine setargv.obj to the gawk directory for the link to work. - - Please note: Gawk is very sensitive to compiler optimization; -using -Oa or -Ox with MSC 5.1 WILL cause errors. It is recommended -to only use the default optimization. Also, you should get warning -messages with MSC, but you can ignore them. - - Additional information can be found in the notes at the end of -this file. - - -Compiling for OS/2 or DOS from an OS/2 host -------------------------------------------- - - Move the files in the pc directory to the directory with the rest -of the gawk sources. Makefile.os2 has been tested with dmake 3.8 -and GNU make 3.68. Enter "make -f Makefile.os2" to see a list of -targets. As an example, an OS/2 and DOS 32-bit executable using -EMX/gcc can be created with the command "make -f Makefile.os2 emxbnd". - - If using MSC 5.1, you will also have to copy the Microsoft library -routine setargv.obj to the gawk directory for the link to work. - -Notes ------ - -1. The usual shells for OS/2 and DOS (command.com for DOS and cmd.exe -for OS/2) do not handle command-lines very well. Stewartson's sh (OS/2 -and DOS) is a good choice, and can be found at: - - oak.oakland.edu:SimTel/msdos/sysutil/ms_sh23[bs].zip - ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/16bit/unix/ms_sh23[bs].zip - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/shells/ms_sh23b.zip - -An earlier version can be found at - - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/shells/sh164-2.zip - -The Korn shell (ksh) may be another possibility: - - ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/32bit/unix/ksh49.zip - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/shells/ksh513rt.zip - -Bash (OS/2 2.x) should be a good choice; however, there has been some -trouble getting a solid version for OS/2. As of Feb-95, there are two -bash ports, available in: - - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/shells/gnu/gnubash.zip - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/shells/gnu/bash-112.zip - ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/32bit/unix/bash_112.zip - -Hamilton's C Shell is another possibility, available for a number of -platforms. A demo is available at ftp.leo.org. - -The site ftp.leo.org (ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de) is maintained -by Kai Uwe Rommel (rommel@leo.org), and is also accessible at -http://www.leo.org/archiv/os2/ via WWW. - - -2. Stewartson's shell contains sources for a setargv-replacement -for MSC, which can add enhanced command-line processing capabilities -to gawk. See Makefile.os2. - - -3. dmake is by Dennis Vadura (dvadura@watdragon.uwaterloo.ca), CS Dept., -University of Waterloo. OS/2 and DOS versions can be found at - - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/devtools/utils/dmake38.zip - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/devtools/utils/dmake40os2.zip - ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/16bit/program/dmake38x.zip - -Ndmake is by D.G. Kneller. This ShareWare program was later released -as Opus Make (which is available for OS/2 and DOS). Ndmake 4.5 is -available at - - oak.oakland.edu:SimTel/msdos/c/ndmake45.zip - -GNU make is from the FSF. An OS/2 2.x version can be found at - - ftp.leo.org:pub/comp/os/os2/devtools/gnu/gnumake.zip - - -4. Known bugs. The MSC 5.1 bound version has not received extensive -testing. When running under OS/2 2.1, there is a bug which may be -related to the 20-file limit. It can be observed in the "manyfiles" -test of test/Makefile. This does not occur when running under DOS. - -The 16-bit DOS version can exhaust memory on scripts such as Henry -Spencer's "awf". Use the 32-bit version if possible. - - ----- - -If you have any problems with the DOS or OS/2 versions of Gawk, -please send them to - - Scott Deifik, scottd@amgen.com (DOS versions) -or - Kai Uwe Rommel, rommel@ars.muc.de (OS/2 or bound versions) - Darrel Hankerson, hankedr@mail.auburn.edu |
