The GNU - libc has a complete stdio package. For Minix 1.5 systems, - a vsprintf.c is included.) - - b) run "configure" with the "standard" options for a configure of gnu - products. The major parameter for bc is the "--prefix=path" - option to find the executable and manual directories. For more help, - give the command "configure --help". - - c) "make derived" (If you need it.) - The distribution contains the files bc.c.dist y.tab.h.dist and - scan.c.dist. These are provided so that you do not need a working - yacc and flex (lex). This program was designed to work with the free - programs byacc (berkeley yacc) and flex. It should work with other - versions of yacc and lex, but it is not guaranteed to work. - - If you do not have yacc or flex, give the command "make derived" to - get the *.dist files to their proper place. This insures that make - will not try to make these derived files from their original source. - Use the "make derived" before trying to compile bc and dc. - - e) "make" - compiles bc and dc. - - f) "make install" - installs bc, dc, libmath.b (if needed), bc.1, dc.1 and dc.info - in their proper directories. - - g) Use bc and dc! - - -DEFINES -------- - - The following defines you may or may not want. To delete one standardly on, - edit the Makefile.in. If you want add their definitions, put their - definition in an environment variable "CFLAGS" for the configure script. - - -DOLD_EQ_OP - Causes bc to recognize =<op> as the same as <op>=. The =<op> is - the old style. It makes "a =- 1" ambiguous. With OLD_EQ_OP defined - it is equivalent to "a -= 1" and with OLD_EQ_OP undefined it is - equivalent to "a = -1". - - -DDOT_IS_LAST - Causes bc to recognize a single period (".") as a shorthand notation - for the standard variable "last". (This is standardly defined.) - - -DSMALL_BUF - Use this IF you are using flex AND you have a systems with limited - memory space. - - -DSHORTNAMES - If your compiler keeps a limited number of characters from names, - you should include this define. It is needed for the K&R compiler - on MINIX. - - -DDEBUG=n - Compile the debugging code. The higher the number, the more - debugging code. The degugging code is not very good. - - -POSSIBLE PROBLEMS ------------------ - - There might be some possible problems compiling due to different - versions of the header files. scan.c may require to edit out some - definitions of malloc and free. Others should compile with the - correct set of defines. - - Hopefully, the autoconf/configure system should remove all problems. - - If you do a "make realclean", it removes all files that can be derived - from some other files. This also removes the file "libmath.h" that - is used by the configure script. Without it there, the configure - script makes wrong assumptions about the abilities of your compiler. - To get things back to the point where configure works well you will - need to "make libmath.h", "make distclean" and then run configure again. - |
