This file describes how to compile the package for DOS (djgpp) systems using GNU tools. You have to install a quite complete djgpp environment, you can download it from: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ $Id: djgpp.txt,v 1.1.2.2 2003/06/26 19:08:39 set Exp $ 1. INTRODUCTION 2. COMPILING AND INSTALLING 1. INTRODUCTION DJGPP provides a quite POSIX compliant environment for DOS systems. It is based on GNU tools. In order to compile this package you have to install the tools listed in doc/install/tools.txt A short list of the needed tools is: binutils, fileutils, gcc, gpp, gettext, make, perl, shellutils, texinfo and textutils. We compiled the library using DJGPP 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03. Older versions won't work. The 2.01 version have some bugs that affect this package so I suggest a newer version. 2. COMPILING Once you installed all the needed tools your system will become some kind of GNU/DOS system. For this reason you can just follow the instructions found in doc/install/unix.txt The only difference is that you'll have to invoke the configure.bat file instead of configure script, but as you don't have to type the extension it looks almost the same as in UNIX: c:\djgpp\contrib\tvision>configure
