`mkid' README.alpha-test
Special instructions for testers:
* The file-tree walking code is new. It passes purify tests, and seems to
work pretty well. So far, I've only compiled and built on Linux
(libc-5.2.4), SunOS 4.1.4 and BSDI 2.0.1. I expect some portability
problems on other systems.
* At least do this:
./configure --prefix=test; make all; make check; make install.
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 *ANSI* C compiler and gcc. (non-ANSI compilation is
broken for now...) 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.
* Be aware that this is still work in progress. See TODO for a list of
things yet undone.
* Note that ID file format is incompatible with all previous versions of
mkid, so you'll have to rebuild your ID files.
