DMAKE 4.8
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
This directory tree contains a number of files. Here is a short
|
|
description of what each file contains so that you do not need to
|
|
search as much. There is also a recommended order for reading them.
|
|
|
|
read1st.txt - This file; generic information.
|
|
intro.txt - Short note describing what 'dmake' is and where to
|
|
get it from.
|
|
release.txt - Changes of previous releases, and release specific
|
|
notes. (Not longer continued.)
|
|
../NEWS - Changes from previous release. (Continuation of
|
|
release.txt.)
|
|
../man/ - directory containing DMAKE manual page.
|
|
|
|
public/ - Old build and installation instructions
|
|
for the Dmake 4.1 public release. As of Dmake 4.2
|
|
dmake switched to an autotools based build system
|
|
and these instructions are not longer valid for
|
|
operating systems that are supported by the autotools
|
|
system.
|
|
If you are on a system that is not supported you
|
|
might still find some useful information there.
|
|
|
|
Building Dmake
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
With autotools
|
|
--------------
|
|
Building dmake on systems that are supported by the autotools build system
|
|
only requires the usual "./configure && make && make install" command.
|
|
The configure command will notify you when your platform is not supported.
|
|
|
|
With Microsoft C++ compiler
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
For MS Visual C++ 6 and up run "make.bat win95-vpp40" in a command shell.
|
|
This should create a dmake.exe in the top-level directory.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to rename this to, say, dmake0.exe, delete the objects/
|
|
sub-directory and then simply run "dmake0.exe" to build a new dmake.exe.
|
|
Note that it is not necessary to have dmake rebuild itself in this way,
|
|
but it is a nice test that your new dmake is working to see that it can.
|
|
|
|
To install dmake, simply copy dmake.exe and the startup/ sub-directory to
|
|
a directory of your choice. You may also want to copy the man/
|
|
sub-directory for future access to the manual page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All other systems might look in the public/ directory for usefull hints.
