But you must build and +acquire tools. 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. Get these programs to start: + + GNU m4 program (version 1.4) + GNU autoconf (version 2.13). + GNU patch (version 2.5) + +Apply the autoconf patches from + + http://invisible-island.net/autoconf + ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf + +These are ordered by date: + + autoconf-2.13-20030927.patch.gz + autoconf-2.13-20030927-emx.patch.gz + +I built my development environment for ncurses using EMX 0.9c at the end of +1997. 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. |
