- PacketSorter v1.4 object files and sources
- ===============================================================================
-
- The information in this document is intended for those who want to make a new
- PacketSorter executable. You may wish to do so because you want newer versions
- of the free libraries used by PacketSorter to be linked. You may also want to
- try to build a PacketSorter executable that runs under another operating system
- than OS/2 or DOS, such as Linux or NextStep. I do not know if the latter is
- possible because I did not try it. The operating system must at least run
- with an i386 (or higher) because the object code files contain i386 code.
-
- ! Note that you must not distribute PacketSorter in any form other than the
- ! distribution archives. If you link a new version of PacketSorter you may only
- ! use it for your own purposes.
-
- The archives 'devobj.zip' contains the files needed to link the PacketSorter
- executable as well as the registration information transfer program. The
- object files included are Unix-style a.out object files
-
- You will need the GNU class libraries iostream and libg++ to link PacketSorter.
-
- You will at least have to implement (or steal) _envargs() and _splitargs()
- which are found in the EMX package if you do not use EMX.
-
- Making the executables has only been tested with the EMX 0.8h ports of those
- libraries under OS/2 and the EMX port of GNU C++ under OS/2.
-
- Assuming you have the GNU libraries and the GNU C++ compiler set up for your
- system, create a directory, put the files contained in devobj.zip in it and
- type 'make -f makefile.pst all'.
-
- Maybe you have to modify the makefile to fit your systems needs.
-
- After making the executables, you have to enter your registration settings (if
- you are registered) with the compiled register program executable. You'll have
- to do this each time you link a new PacketSorter executable.
-
- Good luck!
