- mcvert comes in source form and runs on a wide variety of UNIX
- machines, each with its own binary format and execution environment
- for programs. Therefore, mcvert needs to be compiled for your
- machine before you can run it. Here's how to do it.
-
- o Ready a directory to hold mcvert
-
- cd
- mkdir mcvert
- cp mcvert-nnn.shar mcvert
- cd mcvert
-
- o Create the individual files from the Shell Archive (shar) file
-
- sh mcvert-nnn.shar
-
- o Reorder the Makefile as appropriate for your machine
-
- Note that there are a number of variables with which to fiddle,
- and that the last definition wins.
-
- For example, when compiling for AT&T's 3B2, reorder so these lines
- are last within each group:
-
- XOBJ= gettod.o
-
- LIBS=
-
- CFLAGS_M= -DTIMEVAL -DULONG
-
- CFLAGS_N = -DNOBYTEORDER -DNOBZEROBCOPY
-
- o Make the binary and the man page
-
- make
-
- o Read the man page for a full description
-
- more mcvert.man
-
- o Invoke the binary without arguments for a short description
-
- mcvert
-
- []
