Installation Instructions for mthreads 3.0:
1) Run Configure. This will figure out various things about your system.
Some things Configure will figure out for itself, other things it will
ask you about. It will then proceed to make config.h, config.sh, the
Makefile, and a few shell scripts. You might possibly have to trim
# comments from the front of Configure if your sh doesn't handle them,
but all other # comments will be taken care of.
2) Glance through config.h and common.h to make sure system dependencies
are correct. Most of them should have been taken care of by running
the Configure script.
If you have any additional changes to make to the C definitions, they
can be done in the Makefile, in config.h, or in common.h.
3) make
This will attempt to make mthreads in the current directory.
4) make install
This will put mthreads and its support files into the directory
of your choosing. It also tries to put the mthreads man page in
a reasonable place.
5) Read the manual entry before running mthreads to familiarize yourself
with its operation and options.
6) IMPORTANT! Help save the world! Communicate any problems and suggested
patches to Wayne Davison <davison@borland.com> so we can keep the world
in sync. If you have a problem, there's someone else out there who
either has had or will have the same problem.
If possible, send in patches such that the patch program will apply them.
Unified or regular context diffs are the best, then normal diffs. Don't
send ed scripts--I've probably changed my copy since the version you have.
Watch for mthreads patches in news.software.readers. Patches will be
in the unified context diff format, for application by the patch program.
If you don't have a patch program that handles unified context diffs,
you'll probably want to get one (such as patch version 12g8). Otherwise,
you can use the (included) filter "unipatch", which can be generated with
the command "make unipatch". To apply patches, use the command:
unipatch <patchfile | patch -p
