GNUWin32 package report

 author: mh@mike.franken.de (Michael Hirmke)

    WWW: http://aquarius.franken.de/docs/develop/gnuwin32/GNUWin32.txt
    FTP: ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32.txt

version: 1.15
   date: 01.11.1998

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------

5. *history*
   =======

   - 1.15
     - corrected "To use:" for install.exe replacement script
     - added package description for InfoZip zip2.2, unzip 5.32
     - introduced new "Cygwin" section for all packages to make clear,
       for which version of Cygwin the description is valid and
       (hopefully) has been tested
     - replaced a few accurances of "Cygwin32" with "Cygwin", where it
       seemed to make sense, to reflect the name change in B20; the main
       directory name remains "cygwin32", because it is well known to
       many people
     - moved all my own packages (Hirmke_Michael) to a subdirectory named
       "B19", because most of them will only work with this version;
       besides that, a few of them are no longer necessary, because they
       are included in B20
     - added package description for gcc-arm-e.zip
     - added package description for gcc-h83-e.zip
     - added package description for gcc-sh-e.zip

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------

Have fun :)

Bye.
Michael.

Hi *,

since the last version I completely renewed my GNUWin32 package report.
It now comes in HTML format with a table of contents containing links
for each package description. There are two versions - one of them is
quite short and does only consist of links to an external text file for
each package. The other one is much longer and includes all the package
descriptions.
You can find them here:

http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32-links-3.0.html  
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32-links-3.0.html  
http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32-contents-3.0.html  
ftp://ftp.franken.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32-contents-3.0.html  

GNUWin32.txt now is just a symlink to GNUWin32-links-3.0.html

As always - have fun :)

And: Suggestions for improvement are welcome!

Michael.

As you can see - as always lots of changes and the report keeps on
growing. As a few of you have pointed out, it is or at least soon will
be too large to keep it in one big plain text file, so perhaps in one of
the next versions I will convert it to html with single sections/files
for every package. What do you think of this idea ?

Have fun :)

Bye.
Michael.

version: 1.11
   date: 27.05.1998

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------

   - 1.11
     - adjusted the format of the package descriptions a bit
     - corrected package description for ispell 3.1 and spell 1.0
     - corrected package description for Xfig 3.2 and transfig
     - "gnuwin32:/..." alias does not work for most web browsers and not
       even for most ftp clients, so I adjusted all the links in this
       document to point to the orginal file locations

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------


Sorry for the problems with this gnuwin32: alias 8-((
As many people stated, it is not possible to get directly to the
directories and files through links, which contain this alias !
So I changed all the links back and hopefully all problems with getting
packages from our site will disappear now.

*Please everybody, who has linked packages from our site directly with*
*links containing this alias, change your links as appropriate !!*

Once more sorry for the inconvenience 8-(

Bye.
Michael.

   5. *history*


1. *introduction*
   ============

   This is a status report for packages compiled with *Cygnus CDK* - at
   the moment with version B19.

   For every package there might be different, even better ways to build
   them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it.
   If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us.

   If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to
   this report, please send me an email with the appropriate
   description.
   If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send
   me an email, too.


2. *preliminaries*
   =============

   - All the packages are original source packages you can get from
     many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages,
     which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in
     this report.

   - You should have installed and properly configured the latest
     Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey
     Okhapkin's latest coolview package
     (available for example
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /gnuwin32:/cygwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey
       - as coolview.tar.gz)

   - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e.
     "tar -xvzf <package>.tar.gz".

   - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that
     .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1).


3. *packages*
   ========

   *ghostview-1.5*
   -------------

     - what is it?
       - Ghostview offers you an X11 GUI for viewing PostScript files.
         This is an X11 interface to ghostscript.

     - system
       - ???

     - preliminaries
       - tar -xzvf ghostview-1.5.tar.gz; cd ghostview-1.5
       - xmkmf
       - change in file Dir.c ( comment several lines):
       /*
       #if defined(SVR4) || defined(SYSV) || defined(USG) || defined(__osf__)
       */

       #include <dirent.h>

       /*

       #include <sys/dir.h>
       #define dirent direct
       #endif */ /* defined(SVR4) || defined(SYSV) || defined(USG) */ /*
       */

   *groff-1.10*
   ----------

     - what is it?
       - The groff package provides compatible versions of troff, nroff,
         eqn, tbl, and other Unix text-formatting utilities.
         Groff is used to "compile" man-pages stored in groff/nroff
         format for different output devices; e.g., for displaying to a
         screen or in PostScript(tm) format for printing on a
         PostScript(tm) printer.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
         - umount /bin (if mounted)
         - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

     - configure
       - works without changes

     - make
       - edit ./Makefile
         - turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
           with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
           random crashes - for example with large man pages
           (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
       - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
         - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
           (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
           "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
           this Makefile
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
         this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
         so they all work with one shell

     - package availability
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /gnuwin32:/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
       - as groff-1.10-win32-bin.tar.gz
       - or groff-1.10-win32-bin.zip

     - contributed by
       - mh@mike.franken.de (Michael Hirmke)


   *ispell 3.1 and spell 1.0*
   ------------------------

     - system
        - Windows 95

     - preliminaries
        - spell: edit spell.c
350c350
<       if (write (the_pipe->pout, str->str, str->len) != str->len)
---
>       if (write (the_pipe->pout, str_to_nstr (str), str->len) != str->len)
385,390c385,387
<       if (str->len == 1 && str->str[0] == '\n'){
<                 free(str->str);

        - ispell:
            Get or compile termcap
            ln -s <cygwin32>/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/sed.exe /bin/sed.exe
            Edit term.c. Replace all TCSETAW by TCSETA in ioctl() calls.
            Create local.h from local.h.samp. The following worked for me:

        ispell: not applicable

     - make
        No problem

     - make install
        ispell: use the new version of install (see below)

     - notes

   *vim-5.0*
   -------

     - what is it?
       - Vim (Vi Improved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX
         editor vi whereby almost every possible command can be performed
         using only ASCII characters. Only the 'Q' command is missing
         (you don't need it). Many new features have been added: multi
         level undo, command line history, filename completion, block
         operations, editing of binary data, etc. Vi is available for
         the AMIGA, MS-DOS, Windows NT, and various versions of UNIX.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - you first have to install *X11R6.3*, if you want vim with
         X11 GUI support

     - configure
       - works without changes with these parameters:
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp

         or for a vim without any GUI support
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp \
            --disable-gui \
            --without-x

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does
         not use the standard "install" program

     - notes
       - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when
         it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded,
         though it did
       - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
         the process for building the package is the same, though
       - works the same way for vim-5.1

   5. *history*


1. *introduction*
   ============

   This is a status report for packages compiled with *Cygnus CDK* - at
   the moment with version B19.

   For every package there might be different, even better ways to build
   them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it.
   If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us.

   If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to
   this report, please send me an email with the appropriate
   description.
   If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send
   me an email, too.


2. *preliminaries*
   =============

   - All the packages are original source packages you can get from
     many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages,
     which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in
     this report.

   - You should have installed and properly configured the latest
     Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey
     Okhapkin's latest coolview package
     (available for example
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey
       - as coolview.tar.gz)

   - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e.
     "tar -xvzf <package>.tar.gz".

   - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that
     .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1).


3. *packages*
   ========

   *ghostview-1.5*
   -------------

     - what is it?
       - Ghostview offers you an X11 GUI for viewing PostScript files.
         This is an X11 interface to ghostscript.

     - system
       - ???

     - preliminaries
       - tar -xzvf ghostview-1.5.tar.gz; cd ghostview-1.5
       - xmkmf
       - change in file Dir.c ( comment several lines):
       /*
       #if defined(SVR4) || defined(SYSV) || defined(USG) || defined(__osf__)
       */

       #include <dirent.h>

       /*

   *groff-1.10*
   ----------

     - what is it?
       - The groff package provides compatible versions of troff, nroff,
         eqn, tbl, and other Unix text-formatting utilities.
         Groff is used to "compile" man-pages stored in groff/nroff
         format for different output devices; e.g., for displaying to a
         screen or in PostScript(tm) format for printing on a
         PostScript(tm) printer.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
         - umount /bin (if mounted)
         - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

     - configure
       - works without changes

     - make
       - edit ./Makefile
         - turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
           with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
           random crashes - for example with large man pages
           (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
       - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
         - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
           (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
           "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
           this Makefile
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
         this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
         so they all work with one shell

   *ispell 3.1 and spell 1.0*
   ------------------------

     - system
        - Windows 95

     - preliminaries
        - spell: edit spell.c

        - ispell:
            Get or compile termcap
            ln -s <cygwin32>/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/sed.exe /bin/sed.exe
            Edit term.c. Replace all TCSETAW by TCSETA in ioctl() calls.
            Create local.h from local.h.samp. The following worked for me:

     - configure
        spell: no problem
        ispell: not applicable

     - make
        No problem

     - make install
        ispell: use the new version of install (see below)

     - notes
        spell:  if spell.c is not edited to add free(), malloc fails
                when slightly less than 65kB of space has been allocated
                in small blocks.
        ispell: if term.c is not edited the terminal settings are not
                changed.

   *less-321*
   --------

     - what is it?
       - Less is a pager program similar to more (1), but allows backward
         as well as forward movement within a file. Also, less does not
         have to read the entire input file before starting. It is also
         possible to start an editor at any time from this program.

     - system

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*

     - notes
       - couldn't get man-1.5a to run properly, you can build it nearly
         the same way as 1.4j, but it will crash, whenever you run the
         resulting binary

   *ncurses-4.1*
   -----------

     - what is it?
       - As soon as a text application needs to directly control its
         output to the screen (e.g. wants to place the cursor at location
         x y and then write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the
         forms libraries are included in this package. These new
         libraries support color, special  characters and panels.

       - RCS, the Revision Control System, manages multiple revisions of
         files. RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge
         revisions. It is useful for files that are frequently revised,
         e.g. programs, documentation, graphics, and papers.

     - system
       - ???

     - preliminaries
       - get Chris Faylor's version of cygwin19.dll; due to a bug in

	  macros are defined like this.
/*--
  Generic 32-bit Unix.
  Also works on 64-bit Unix boxes.

   *vim-5.0*
   -------

     - what is it?
       - Vim (Vi Improved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX
         editor vi whereby almost every possible command can be performed
         using only ASCII characters. Only the 'Q' command is missing
         (you don't need it). Many new features have been added: multi
         level undo, command line history, filename completion, block
         operations, editing of binary data, etc. Vi is available for
         the AMIGA, MS-DOS, Windows NT, and various versions of UNIX.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - you first have to install *X11R6.3*, if you want vim with
         X11 GUI support

     - configure
       - works without changes with these parameters:
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp

         or for a vim without any GUI support
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp \
            --disable-gui \
            --without-x

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does
         not use the standard "install" program

     - notes
       - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when
         it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded,
         though it did
       - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
         the process for building the package is the same, though
       - works the same way for vim-5.1
         (according to noer@cygnus.com  (Geoffrey Noer))

1. *introduction*
   ============

   This is a status report for packages compiled with *Cygnus CDK* - at
   the moment with version B19.

   For every package there might be different, even better ways to build
   them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it.
   If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us.

   If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to
   this report, please send me an email with the appropriate
   description.
   If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send
   me an email, too.


2. *preliminaries*
   =============

   - All the packages are original source packages you can get from
     many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages,
     which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in
     this report.

   - You should have installed and properly configured the latest
     Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey
     Okhapkin's latest coolview package
     (available for example
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey
       - as coolview.tar.gz)

   - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e.
     "tar -xvzf <package>.tar.gz".

   - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that
     .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1).


3. *packages*
   ========

   *ghostview-1.5*
   -------------

     - what is it?
       - Ghostview offers you an X11 GUI for viewing PostScript files.
         This is an X11 interface to ghostscript.

     - system
       - ???

     - preliminaries
       - tar -xzvf ghostview-1.5.tar.gz; cd ghostview-1.5
       - xmkmf
       - change in file Dir.c ( comment several lines):

   *groff-1.10*
   ----------

     - what is it?
       - The groff package provides compatible versions of troff, nroff,
         eqn, tbl, and other Unix text-formatting utilities.
         Groff is used to "compile" man-pages stored in groff/nroff
         format for different output devices; e.g., for displaying to a
         screen or in PostScript(tm) format for printing on a
         PostScript(tm) printer.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
         - umount /bin (if mounted)
         - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

     - configure
       - works without changes

     - make
       - edit ./Makefile
         - turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
           with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
           random crashes - for example with large man pages
           (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
       - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
         - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
           (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
           "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
           this Makefile
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
         this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
         so they all work with one shell

   *jove-4.16*
   ---------

     - what is it?
       - Jove is an Emacs-like editor without Lisp. It is comfortable
         to use, small, fast and portable.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 SP3

     - preliminaries
       - get sources from ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/jove
         These are the original sources with the addition of
         a Makefile for GNU Win32.
       - install termcap (may work with curses as well).

     - configure
       nope, this is an old package.

     - make
       - cp Makefile.unx Makefile
       - edit Makefile
         - Use LINUX settings
         - Update install related macros, handling the *.exe
           extensions
         - better yet, get Makefile.g32 from
            ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/jove/jove-bin.tgz
           and copy it to Makefile.

       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - package availability
       - jove binaries/sources for GNU Win32 B19 available from:

       - dasilva@alum.mit.edu (Arlindo da Silva)


   *less-321*
   --------

     - what is it?
       - Less is a pager program similar to more (1), but allows backward
         as well as forward movement within a file. Also, less does not
         have to read the entire input file before starting. It is also
         possible to start an editor at any time from this program.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - replace all "iprintf" in "output.c" with a different,
         but unique name, for example "less_iprintf"

     - configure

   *man-1.4j*
   --------

     - what is it?

   *ncurses-4.1*
   -----------

     - what is it?
       - As soon as a text application needs to directly control its
         output to the screen (e.g. wants to place the cursor at location
         x y and then write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the
         forms libraries are included in this package. These new
         libraries support color, special  characters and panels.

   *rcs-5.7*
   -------

     - what is it?
       - RCS, the Revision Control System, manages multiple revisions of
         files. RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge
         revisions. It is useful for files that are frequently revised,
         e.g. programs, documentation, graphics, and papers.

     - system
       - ???

     - preliminaries
       - get Chris Faylor's version of cygwin19.dll; due to a bug in
         readlink(), rcs will not work with the original .dll
       - in src/conf.sh line 1039 change has_mmap=1 to has_mmap=0

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes

   *vim-5.0*
   -------

     - what is it?
       - Vim (Vi Improved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX
         editor vi whereby almost every possible command can be performed
         using only ASCII characters. Only the 'Q' command is missing
         (you don't need it). Many new features have been added: multi
         level undo, command line history, filename completion, block
         operations, editing of binary data, etc. Vi is available for
         the AMIGA, MS-DOS, Windows NT, and various versions of UNIX.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - you first have to install *X11R6.3*, if you want vim with
         X11 GUI support

     - configure
       - works without changes with these parameters:
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp

         or for a vim without any GUI support
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp \
            --disable-gui \
            --without-x

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does
         not use the standard "install" program

     - notes
       - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when
         it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded,
         though it did
       - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
         the process for building the package is the same, though

   5. *history*


1. *introduction*
   ============

   This is a status report for packages compiled with *Cygnus CDK* - at
   the moment with version B19.

   For every package there might be different, even better ways to build
   them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it.
   If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us.

   If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to
   this report, please send me an email with the appropriate
   description.
   If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send
   me an email, too.


2. *preliminaries*
   =============

   - All the packages are original source packages you can get from
     many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages,
     which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in
     this report.

   - You should have installed and properly configured the latest
     Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey
     Okhapkin's latest coolview package
     (available for example
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey
       - as coolview.tar.gz)

   - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e.
     "tar -xvzf <package>.tar.gz".

   - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that
     .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1).


3. *packages*
   ========

   *ghostview-1.5*
   -------------

     - what is it?
       - Ghostview offers you an X11 GUI for viewing PostScript files.
         This is an X11 interface to ghostscript.

     - system
       - ???

     - preliminaries
       - tar -xzvf ghostview-1.5.tar.gz; cd ghostview-1.5
       - xmkmf
       - change in file Dir.c ( comment several lines):
       /*
       #if defined(SVR4) || defined(SYSV) || defined(USG) || defined(__osf__)
       */

   *groff-1.10*
   ----------

     - what is it?
       - The groff package provides compatible versions of troff, nroff,
         eqn, tbl, and other Unix text-formatting utilities.
         Groff is used to "compile" man-pages stored in groff/nroff
         format for different output devices; e.g., for displaying to a
         screen or in PostScript(tm) format for printing on a
         PostScript(tm) printer.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
         - umount /bin (if mounted)
         - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

     - configure
       - works without changes

     - make
       - edit ./Makefile
         - turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
           with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
           random crashes - for example with large man pages
           (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
       - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
         - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
           (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
           "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
           this Makefile
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
         this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
         so they all work with one shell

     - preliminaries
       - get sources from ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/jove
         These are the original sources with the addition of
         a Makefile for GNU Win32.

   *less-321*
   --------

     - what is it?
       - Less is a pager program similar to more (1), but allows backward
         as well as forward movement within a file. Also, less does not
         have to read the entire input file before starting. It is also
         possible to start an editor at any time from this program.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - replace all "iprintf" in "output.c" with a different,
         but unique name, for example "less_iprintf"

   *ncurses-4.1*
   -----------

     - what is it?
       - As soon as a text application needs to directly control its
         output to the screen (e.g. wants to place the cursor at location
         x y and then write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the
         forms libraries are included in this package. These new
         libraries support color, special  characters and panels.

   *recode-3.4.1-7*
   --------------

     - what is it?
       - This filter converts various character sets.

   *rcs-5.7*
   -------

     - what is it?
       - RCS, the Revision Control System, manages multiple revisions of
         files. RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge
         revisions. It is useful for files that are frequently revised,
         e.g. programs, documentation, graphics, and papers.

     - system
       - ???

     - preliminaries
       - get Chris Faylor's version of cygwin19.dll; due to a bug in
         readlink(), rcs will not work with the original .dll
       - in src/conf.sh line 1039 change has_mmap=1 to has_mmap=0
       - in src/Makefile change line 90 to look like x = .exe

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - Is is a cygnus bug or an rcs problem that we have to turn off
         the mmap feature?

   *vim-5.0*
   -------

     - what is it?
       - Vim (Vi Improved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX
         editor vi whereby almost every possible command can be performed
         using only ASCII characters. Only the 'Q' command is missing
         (you don't need it). Many new features have been added: multi
         level undo, command line history, filename completion, block
         operations, editing of binary data, etc. Vi is available for
         the AMIGA, MS-DOS, Windows NT, and various versions of UNIX.

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - you first have to install *X11R6.3*, if you want vim with
         X11 GUI support

     - configure
       - works without changes with these parameters:
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp

         or for a vim without any GUI support
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp \
            --disable-gui \
            --without-x

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does
         not use the standard "install" program

     - notes
       - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when
         it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded,
         though it did
       - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
         the process for building the package is the same, though

0. *introduction*
   ============

   This is a status report for packages compiled with *Cygnus CDK* - at
   the moment with version B19.

   For every package there might be different, even better ways to build
   them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it.
   If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us.

   If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to
   this report, please send me an email with the appropriate
   description.
   If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send
   me an email, too.


1. *preliminaries*
   =============

   - All the packages are original source packages you can get from
     many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages,
     which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in
     this report.

   - You should have installed and properly configured the latest
     Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey
     Okhapkin's latest coolview package
     (available for example
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey
       - as coolview.tar.gz)

   - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e.
     "tar -xvzf <package>.tar.gz".

   - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that
     .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1).

   ----------

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
         - umount /bin (if mounted)
         - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

     - configure
       - works without changes

     - make
       - edit ./Makefile
         - turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
           with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
           random crashes - for example with large man pages
           (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
       - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
         - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
           (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
           "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
           this Makefile
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
         this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
         so they all work with one shell

   *less-321*
   --------

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - replace all "iprintf" in "output.c" with a different,
         but unique name, for example "less_iprintf"

         - change "prefix=/usr" to "prefix=/usr/local"
           (or whatever you want or just leave it as it is)
       - run "configure -d"

     - make
       - edit src/man.c
         - add "#include <getopt.h>"
         - comment out line 1020 (setlocale)
       - edit src/Makefile.in
         - add "-DNONLS" to "DEFS="
       - edit src/util.c
         - comment out line 93 and 94 (setreuid, setregid)
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes
       - edit /usr/local/lib/man.config according to your system

     - notes
       - couldn't get man-1.5a to run properly, you can build it nearly
         the same way as 1.4j, but it will crash, whenever you run the
         resulting binary

   *vim-5.0*
   -------

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
       - you first have to install *X11R6.3*, if you want vim with
         X11 GUI support

     - configure

            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does
         not use the standard "install" program

     - notes
       - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when
         it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded,
         though it did
       - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
         the process for building the package is the same, though

0. *introduction*
   ============

   This is a status report for packages compiled with *Cygnus CDK* - at
   the moment with version B19.

   For every package there might be different, even better ways to build
   them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it.
   If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us.

   If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to
   this report, please send me an email with the appropriate
   description.
   If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send
   me an email, too.


1. *preliminaries*
   =============

   - All the packages are original source packages you can get from
     many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages,
     which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in
     this report.

   - You should have installed and properly configured the latest
     Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey
     Okhapkin's latest coolview package
     (available for example
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey
       - as coolview.tar.gz)

   - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e.
     "tar -xvzf <package>.tar.gz".

   - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that
     .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1).

   *groff-1.10*
   ----------

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
         - umount /bin (if mounted)
         - cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

     - configure
       - works without changes

     - make
       - edit ./Makefile
         - turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
           with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
           random crashes - for example with large man pages
           (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
       - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
         - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
           (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
           "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
           this Makefile
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
         this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
         so they all work with one shell

       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does
         not use the standard "install" program

     - notes
       - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when
         it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded,
         though it did
       - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
         the process for building the package is the same, though

0. *introduction*
   ============

   This is a status report for packages compiled with *Cygnus CDK* - at
   the moment with version B19.

   For every package there might be different, even better ways to build
   them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it.
   If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us.

   If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to
   this report, please send me an email with the appropriate
   description.
   If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send
   me an email, too.


1. *preliminaries*
   =============

   - All the packages are original source packages you can get from
     many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages,
     which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in
     this report.

   - You should have installed and properly configured the latest
     Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey
     Okhapkin's latest coolview package
     (available for example
       - on ftp.franken.de
       - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey
       - as coolview.tar.gz)

   - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e.
     "tar -xvzf <package>.tar.gz".

   - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that
     .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1).


2. *packages*

           with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
           random crashes - for example with large man pages
           (due to a hint from Andy Piper)
       - edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
         - create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
           (or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
           "bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
           this Makefile
       - run "make" as normal

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
         this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
         so they all work with one shell

       - get Chris Faylor's version of cygwin19.dll; due to a bug in
         readlink(), rcs will not work with the original .dll
       - in src/conf.sh line 1039 change has_mmap=1 to has_mmap=0
       - in src/Makefile change line 90 to look like x = .exe

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works without changes

     - notes
       - Is is a cygnus bug or an rcs problem that we have to turn off
         the mmap feature?

   *vim-5.0*
   -------

     - system
       - Windows NT4 German / SP3

     - preliminaries
       - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*

     - configure
       - works without changes with these parameters:
         ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local \
            --disable-perlinterp \
            --disable-pythoninterp

     - make
       - works without changes

     - make install
       - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does
         not use the standard "install" program

     - notes
       - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when
         it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded,
         though it did
       - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
         the process for building the package is the same, though

3. *attachements*
   ============

   *attachement 1*
   -------------

   - replacement for the original "install" command to handle .exe file
     extensions properly

     ----------------------< snip snip snip >--------------------------
     #!/bin/sh

     # file: install
     # author:  earnie                email: earnie_boyd@hotmail.com
     #
     # Install Preprocessor for the gnu-win32 "make install" command.
     #
     # To use:
     #
     #   copy this file to /usr/bin/install (earlier in the
     #   path than the default GNU install).
     #
     # Note:
     #   No warranty implicit or explicit is given.
     #   You may copy, distribute and use as you see fit.
     #   USE AT YOU OWN RISK.
     #
     # changed: M.Hirmke                email: mh@mike.franken.de
     #   changed ginstall to cyg_install, because some packages are looking
     #   for ginstall
     #   note: you have to rename your original install.exe to
     #         cyg_install.exe
     #
     # changed: Dr David Coe                email: david@coent.demon.co.uk
     #   "I seem to remember earnie's script gave trouble (in X11 or lesstif
     #    make install) when both <exec.exe> and <exec> are present
     #    simultaneously). The attached helped."
     #

     tstr=""
     while test $# -gt 0;
     do
             if test -e $1.exe;
             then
                     if test -d $2;
                     then
                             tstr="$tstr$1.exe $2";
                     else
                             tstr="$tstr$1.exe $2.exe";
                     fi;
                     shift;
             else
                     tstr="$tstr$1 ";
             fi;
             shift;
     done
     eval "cyg_install.exe $tstr";
     exit
