README
1This directory contains files required to build GNU Diffutils on
2MS_DOS and MS-Windows using the DJGPP tools.
3
4To 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
16The package names in parentheses indicate the oldest version which
17should work; newer versions are okay. All those packages can be found
18on 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
21The source distribution of Diffutils you find on DJGPP sites comes
22preconfigured for the latest officially released version of the DJGPP
23library, and without NLS support. If that is what you have installed,
24and if you don't need NLS support in Diffutils, you don't need to run
25the configure script; proceed directly to the "make" step below.
26
27If you are building the official GNU distribution, or your library is
28not the latest official release, or if you modified your headers or
29installed optional libraries, or if you want to have NLS support in
30Diffutils, you will have to reconfigure the package. To this end,
31after unpacking the sources, chdir to the top-level directory created
32by unpacking, and type this command:
33
34 ms\config [nls]
35
36The "nls" option, if given, will configure the package for NLS
37support.
38
39This will run for a while and create the Makefile's and the config.h
40header file.
41
42Next type "make"; this will build the programs.
43
44To install the package, type "make install".
45
46That's it!
