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 3.8. + + 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 dirctory 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) and GNU bash (OS/2 2.x) are good choices. Stewartson's shell +2.2 is in beta (as of 17-Sep-93). Earlier versions can be found at + + ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:pub/comp.os/os2/shells/sh164-2.zip + oak.oakland.edu:pub/msdos/sysutl/ms_sh21b.zip + ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/all/unix/shells/ms_sh21c.zip + +OS/2 HPFS users should obtain ms_sh21c.zip over ms_sh21b.zip. ksh +may be another possibility, available from ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de. + +Bash for OS/2 2.x can be found at + + ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:pub/comp.os/os2/gnu/gnubash.zip + ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/2_x/unix/shells/bash.zip + + +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. An OS/2 and DOS version can be found at + + ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:pub/comp.os/os2/devtools/dmake38.zip + ftp-os2.cdrom.com:pub/os2/all/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:pub/msdos/c/ndmake45.zip + +GNU make is from the FSF. An OS/2 2.x version can be found at + + ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:pub/comp.os/os2/devtools/gnumake.zip + +The "lookup" feature of ncftp reports: + + ncftp>lookup ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de + hpsystem2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de 131.159.0.198 + + ncftp>lookup ftp-os2.cdrom.com + wcarchive.cdrom.com 192.153.46.2 + + ncftp>lookup oak.oakland.edu + rigel.acs.oakland.edu 141.210.10.117 + + +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. + + +---- + +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 |
