G N U D I S T R I B U T I O N
(updated 7/12/94)
--------
OVERVIEW
--------
This directory contains various archives that taken together, comprise the
complete GNU distribution tree that can be found on my FreshFish CD-ROM's,
in ready to run format. This includes both binaries and source code, per
the terms of the GPL (see the files COPYING and COPYING.LIB).
If you make a directory somewhere called GNU, cd into that directory, and
then extract the contents of all of the lha archives relative to that
directory, you will end up with a file tree that except for a few icons on
some directories and some other insignificant differences, is identical to
that which is included on the CD-ROM from which these archives were
obtained.
----------------
GNU INSTALLATION
----------------
I suggest that you make a directory somewhere called "GNU", that will be the
root directory of the entire GNU environment, and then simply unpack all the
lha archives in that directory. If you only want a binary installation,
just unpack the *-bin.lha archives and the GNU-Startup-bin.lha archive.
If you expect to run the compiler, you will also need the contents of the
archives "os-include-bin.lha" and "os-lib-bin.lha" from the BBS/CBM
directory, where they are isolated because they contain, or are derived
from, CBM proprietary files, and are distributed under license from
Commodore. See the files in that directory for details of the distribution
restrictions.
Once you have unpacked all the archives, edit an appropriate system startup
script (S:User-Startup for example), to have it assign GNU: to this GNU
directory and have it run the startup script in GNU:Sys/S/GNU-Startup. An
example of the appropriate lines to add to your User-Startup file would be:
assign GNU: WORK:GNU
execute GNU:Sys/S/GNU-Startup
That's all there is to it, except for not forgetting to set an adequate
amount of stack space. See the comments below.
--------
ARCHIVES
--------
For each supplied utility, you will find four archives, as follows:
<name-version>-bin.lha Amiga binaries and other "runtime" files.
<name-version>-src.lha Amiga source files that were used to
generate the supplied binaries.
<name-version>-diffs.lha The diffs that apply to the baseline
source to generate the Amiga source.
<name-version>.tar.gz The baseline sources from which the Amiga
sources were generated, by applying the
diffs for this utility.
If you only intend to use the binaries and do not need source, and do not
redistribute the binary archives or otherwise make them available via BBS or
ftp, you do not need to get the corresponding source archives. If you do
redistribute them you probably need the source archives as well. Please be
sure to read and understand the conditions in the COPYING and COPYING.LIB
files with regards to redistribution if you are unsure about this detail.
--------------
IXEMUL.LIBRARY
--------------
All of the binaries supplied here require the ixemul.library to run. If you
get any of the *-bin.lha archives, you should also get the archive
"ixemul-39.47-bin.lha", which contains just the libraries and a couple of
auxiliary control programs. If you expect to use gcc for development and
use the standard ixemul.library environment, you also need the archive
"ixemul-39.47-env-bin.lha".
-------------------
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
-------------------
As you extract the contents of the lha archives, the following directory
structure will be created and populated with files from the various
archives:
amigados Used by gcc.
bin Where the GNU executables go.
Like "/usr/local/bin" on UNIX.
etc Miscellaneous support files.
Like "/usr/local/etc" on UNIX.
guide AmigaGuide versions of info files.
include Include files used by gcc.
Like "/usr/include" or "/usr/local/include".
info Info files.
Like "/usr/local/info" on UNIX.
lib Libraries used by gcc and other tools.
Like "/usr/local/lib" on UNIX.
libs Runtime libs, add to "LIBS:" assign.
Somewhat like "/lib" on UNIX.
man Manual pages.
Like "/usr/local/man" on UNIX.
os-include System specific include files. These are
Commodore proprietary and are distributed
under license from Commodore.
os-lib System specific library files. These are
derived from Commodore proprietary libraries
and are distributed under license from Commodore.
src All the source code, including the original
source distributions, patches to the source
distributions, and the fully patched AmigaDOS
sources.
