* The code has been substantially changed.
Portability problems might remain.
* Please report your successes/problems along with your operating system,
compiler, and possibly other relevant information.
x86, GNU/Linux Slackware 10.1: success
x86, FreeBSD 4.8: success
x86, NetBSD 1.6.1: success
x86, OpenBSD 3.4: success
x86, Sun Solaris 9: success
Sparc-R220, Sun Solaris 9: success

Information that follows this small section is out of date,
but might contain interesting info.

(WARNING! Out of date, for reference only)
* The code is pretty solid, but portability problems might remain.
I have already successfully configured, built and run `make check' on the
following systems, so if you have limited time, you needn't go out of
your way to retest them:
sparc-sun-solaris2.6 gcc
sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 gcc
sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 gcc & vendor cc (k&r)
i386-pc-solaris2.5.1 gcc
i386-pc-solaris2.6 gcc
i586-pc-linux-gnu gcc
i386-pc-bsdi4.0 gcc
i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.7 gcc
i386-unknown-netbsd1.3.1 gcc
hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.04 gcc & vendor cc
mips-sgi-irix6.2 gcc & vendor cc
I always used GNU make. The vendor-supplied make failed on HP/UX and
IRIX. I didn't debug the vendor make failures, which is properly the
domain of automake.
* At least do this:
./configure --prefix test; make all; make check; make install.
Make check should "echo OK" if it succeeded. This is not a very rigorous
test, but it at least ensures sanity for the core tools.
If all goes well and you want to start using it, reconfigure to install
in a normal place, e.g.,
# put things in /usr/local/{bin,lib,info} (the default)
./configure; make install
-or-
# put things in /usr/{bin,lib,info}
./configure --prefix /usr; make install
If you have the time, patience and software, please build using both your
vendor-supplied compiler and gcc. By default, configure will use gcc if
it is available. You can override this by doing this:
make distclean
CC=vendor-supplied-cc ./configure # bourne-shell syntax
-or-
setenv CC vendor-supplied-cc; ./configure # csh syntax
* If you run into build problems, please help by emailing me the following:
* A brilliant, elegant patch to fix it. ;-)
-- or, if you don't have time for that... --
* The version of mkid you're trying to build
(type ./mkid to get the usage banner which includes the version)
* The output of "make -k all", to show me where it's dying.
* The output of "uname -a"
* The output of "nm" on your system's libc, if applicable.
Send bug reports directly to me: gkm@gnu.org
* Be aware that this is still work in progress. See TODO for a list of
things yet undone.
* If you have contributed enhacements or fixes but don't find yourself
mentioned in the THANKS file, please bring it to my attention.
Thanks!
Greg
