1 This is a port of GNU Libiconv @VER@ to MSDOS/DJGPP.
3 1.: DJGPP specific changes.
4 =======================
5 There are no DJGPP specific changes. This package should
6 configure and compile out-of-the-box.
7 Please read the documentation to become familiar with this
11 2.: Installing the binary package.
12 ==============================
14 2.1.: Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation
15 directory and unzip the binary distribution running *ONE* of
16 the following commands:
17 unzip32 licv@packageversion@b.zip or
18 djtarx licv@packageversion@b.zip or
19 pkunzip -d licv@packageversion@b.zip
23 3.: Building the binaries from sources.
24 ===================================
26 3.1.: To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages:
27 djdev203.zip, bsh204b.zip, gcc2953b.zip,
28 bnu2112b.zip, mak3791b.zip, fil40b.zip,
29 shl112b.zip, txt20b.zip, txi40b.zip,
30 grep24b.zip and sed302b.zip
32 If you want to run the check you will need also:
35 All this packages can be found in the v2gnu directory of any
37 You will need bsh204b.zip and *NOT* a prior version or the build will fail.
38 The same applies to djdev203.zip. You *MUST* use the updated version of
39 shl112b.zip (date: 2000-08-11). This updated version has been recompiled
40 with djdev203.zip and know about the "/dev/env" functionality introduced
41 with djdev203.zip. All the other packages are the ones I have used to
42 build the binaries from this sources.
43 Previuos and/or later versions of these packages may do the job as well
44 but I have not tested this.
46 3.2.: Create a temporary directory and copy the source package: licv@packageversion@s.zip
47 into the temporary directory. If you download the source distribution
48 from one of the DJGPP archives, just unzip it preserving the directory
49 structure, runnig ONE of the following commands:
50 unzip32 licv@packageversion@s.zip or
51 djtarx licv@packageversion@s.zip or
52 pkunzip -d licv@packageversion@s.zip
54 Source distributions downloaded from one of the GNU FTP sites need
55 some more work to unpack. First, you MUST use the `djtar' program
56 to unzip the package. That's because some file names in the official
57 distributions need to be changed to avoid problems on the various
58 platforms supported by DJGPP. `djtar' can rename files on the fly
59 given a file with name mappings. The distribution includes a file
60 `djgpp/fnchange.lst' with the necessary mappings. So you need first
61 to retrieve that file, and then invoke `djtar' to unpack the
62 distribution. Here's how:
64 djtar -x -p -o @V@/djgpp/fnchange.lst @V@.tar.gz > lst
65 djtar -x -n lst @V@.tar.gz
67 (The name of the distribution archive and the top-level directory will
68 be different for versions other than @VER@.)
70 3.3.: The package is preconfigured for djdev203. To build the products you
71 should run the following command:
74 After the compilation has finished, you can check the products
78 To install the products run the command:
81 This will install the products (iconv.exe iconv.h libcharset.h libconv.a
82 libcharset.a iconv.1 iconv.3 iconv_open.3 iconv_close.3) into your DJGPP
83 installation tree. As usual, prefix is defined as "/dev/env/DJDIR".
84 If you prefer to install into same other directory run the command:
85 make install prefix=z:/some/other/dir
87 Of course, you should replace "z:/some/other/dir" by an appropriate path
88 that will meet your requeriments.
90 3.4.: If you need/want to reconfigure the package you will have to run the
95 Please note that you *MUST* use the "distclean" option or the config.cache
96 file will *NOT* be deleted. In this case you are *NOT* reconfiguring
97 because the configuration informations is read from the cache file instead
98 of being newly computed.
99 To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
100 you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
102 x:\src\gnu\libiconv.@treeversion@\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/libiconv.@treeversion@
104 Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a
105 different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
106 then you will run the following commands:
110 x:\src\gnu\libiconv.@treeversion@\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/libiconv.@treeversion@
112 You *MUST* use forward slashes to specify the source directory.
113 After having configured the package run the folowing commands to create
114 the binaries and docs and install them:
119 Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
120 comp.os.msdos.djgpp or djgpp@delorie.com. Libiconv specific bugs
121 must be reported to Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>.
