Not all of the tools distributed with EMX work properly, and -some additional ones are required. - -First, the configure script distributed with ncurses will not run as-is in EMX. -You can generate a new one if you have autoconf built for EMX. You will need -the EMX development tools, of course.

Much of the EMX patch for autoconf was done originally by J.J.G.Ripoll, -using a similar environment (he prefers using the 'ash' shell). Newer versions -may fix these problems: - - + The pdksh program distributed at Hobbes and Leo (with a 1996 date) is - defective. It does not process "here documents" correctly (which - renders it useless for running the autoconf script). I built my own - copy of pdksh 5.2.13, which does have the bug corrected (documented - in the change log for pdksh). - - + I also built from sources (because the distributed binaries did not - work) the cmp, diff programs. - - Other required utilities such as ar, cat, chmod, cp, gawk, grep, mv, - ls, rm, mkdir, sed, sort and tr worked. - -Once you have autoconf patched and installed, run 'autoconf' from the top-level -directory of ncurses to generate the EMX-specific configure script. |
