1 This is a port of GNU Libiconv 1.11 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 licv111b.zip or
18 djtarx licv111b.zip or
19 pkunzip -d licv111b.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, gcc2952b.zip,
28 bnu210b.zip, mak3791b.zip, fil316b.zip,
29 shl112b.zip, txt20b.zip, txi40b.zip,
30 grep24b.zip and sed302b.zip
33 All this packages can be found in the v2gnu directory of any
35 You will need bsh204b.zip and *NOT* a prior version or the build will fail.
36 The same applies to djdev203.zip. You *MUST* use the updated versions of
37 fil316b.zip (date: 2000-05-30) and shl112b.zip (date: 2000-08-11). This
38 updated versions have been recompiled with djdev203.zip and know about
39 the "/dev/env" functionality introduced with djdev203.zip. All the other
40 packages are the ones I have used to build the binaries from this sources.
41 Previuos and/or later versions of this packages may do the job as well but
42 I have not tested this.
44 3.2.: Create a temporary directory and copy the source package: licv111s.zip
45 into the temporary directory. If you download the source distribution
46 from one of the DJGPP archives, just unzip it preserving the directory
47 structure, runnig ONE of the following commands:
48 unzip32 licv111s.zip or
49 djtarx licv111s.zip or
50 pkunzip -d licv111s.zip
52 Source distributions downloaded from one of the GNU FTP sites need
53 some more work to unpack. First, you MUST use the `djtar' program to
54 unzip the package. That's because some file names in the official
55 distributions need to be changed to avoid problems on the various
56 platforms supported by DJGPP. `djtar' can rename files on the fly
57 given a file with name mappings. The distribution includes a file
58 `djgpp/fnchange.lst' with the necessary mappings. So you need first
59 to retrieve that file, and then invoke `djtar' to unpack the
60 distribution. Here's how:
62 djtar -x -p -o libiconv-1.7/djgpp/fnchange.lst libiconv-1.7.tar.gz > lst
63 djtar -x -n lst libiconv-1.7.tar.gz
65 (The name of the distribution archive and the top-level directory will
66 be different for versions other than 1.7.)
68 3.3.: The package is preconfigured for djdev203. To build the products you
69 should run the following command:
72 After the compilation has finished, you can check the products
76 To install the products run the command:
79 This will install the products (iconv.exe iconv.h localcharset.h libconv.a
80 libcharset.a iconv.1 iconv.3 iconv_open.3 iconv_close.3) into your DJGPP
81 installation tree. As usual, prefix is defined as "/dev/env/DJDIR".
82 If you prefer to install into same other directory run the command:
83 make install prefix=z:/some/other/dir
85 Of course, you should replace "z:/some/other/dir" by an appropriate path
86 that will meet your requeriments.
88 3.4.: If you need/want to reconfigure the package you will have to run the
93 Please note that you *MUST* use the "distclean" option or the config.cache
94 file will *NOT* be deleted. In this case you are *NOT* reconfiguring
95 because the configuration informations is read from the cache file instead
96 of being newly computed.
97 To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
98 you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
100 x:\src\gnu\libiconv.111\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/libiconv.111
102 Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a
103 different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
104 then you will run the following commands:
108 x:\src\gnu\libiconv.111\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/libiconv.111
110 You *MUST* use forward slashes to specify the source directory.
111 After having configured the package run the folowing commands to create
112 the binaries and docs and install them:
117 Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
118 comp.os.msdos.djgpp or djgpp@delorie.com. Libiconv specific bugs
119 must be reported to Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org>.
