This - means that especially if you checked out a development version, - building for DOS probably won't work without updating Makefile - and config.h first. - - -Getting and Installing DJGPP - - You may use <http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html> to help - deciding what to download, but as of writing (2010-10-09) that may - not be the most convenient way taking into account what components - are actually required to build XZ Utils. However, using the - zip-picker can still be worth doing to get nice short summary of - installation instructions (they can be found from readme.1st too). - - For a more manual method, first select a mirror from - <http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/getting.html>. You need - the following files: - - unzip32.exe (if you don't already have a LFN-capable unzipper) - beta/v2/djdev204.zip - v2gnu/bnu219b.zip - v2gnu/gcc444b.zip - v2gnu/mak3791b.zip - v2misc/csdpmi7b.zip - - If newer versions are available, probably you should try them first. - Note that djdev203.zip is too old to build XZ Utils; you need at - least djdev204.zip. Also note that you want csdpmi7b.zip even if you - run under Windows or DOSEMU, because the XZ Utils Makefile will embed - cwsdstub.exe to the resulting binaries. - - See the instructions in readme.1st found from djdev204.zip. Here's - a short summary, but you should still read readme.1st. - - C:\> mkdir DJGPP - C:\> cd DJGPP - C:\DJGPP> c:\download\unzip32 c:\download\djdev204.zip - C:\DJGPP> c:\download\unzip32 c:\download\bnu219b.zip - C:\DJGPP> c:\download\unzip32 c:\download\gcc444b.zip - C:\DJGPP> c:\download\unzip32 c:\download\mak3791b.zip - C:\DJGPP> c:\download\unzip32 c:\download\csdpmi7b.zip - - C:\DJGPP> set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH% - C:\DJGPP> set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV - - You may want to add the last two lines into AUTOEXEC.BAT or have, - for example, DJGPP.BAT which you can run before using DJGPP. - - Make sure you use completely upper case path in the DJGPP environment - variable. This is not required by DJGPP, but the XZ Utils Makefile is - a bit stupid and expects that everything in DJGPP environment variable - is uppercase. - - -Building - - You need to have an environment that supports long filenames (LFN). - Once you have built XZ Utils, the resulting binaries can be run - without long filename support. - - Run "make" in this directory (the directory containing this README). - You should get xz.exe (and a bunch of temporary files). Other tools - are not built. Having e.g. xzdec.exe doesn't save much space compared - to xz.exe, because the DJGPP runtime makes the .exe quite big anyway. - - -Bugs - - xz doesn't necessarily work in Dosbox. It should work in DOSEMU. - - Pressing Ctrl-c or Ctrl-Break won't remove the incomplete target file - when running under Windows XP Command Prompt (something goes wrong - with SIGINT handling). It works correctly under Windows 95/98/98SE/ME. - |
