This is the README file for release beta 970304. It probably needs more
detail. Mail to gno-beta@myrias.com with questions, comments, bitches,
queries, complaints.
I suggest you don't mix these files up with those from other versions of
GNO, if you can help it. It will keep things cleaner for later.
Manifest:
orcacdefs This directory contains only the defaults.h file used
in Orca/C v2.1.x. If you already have a defaults.h
file, the contents of this one should be added to
the one you already have.
You will have to change the file type of this
file. Try 'chtyp -lcc *.h'.
include This is the majority of the new header files.
They may either be placed in 13/orcacdefs, or
they may be placed in another directory (such
as /usr/include). If the latter, ensure you
have Orca/C set up to search /usr/include (or
whatever) before searching 13/orcacdefs. This
may be done with the -L occ(1) flag or the
path pragma of Orca/C.
You will have to change the file type of these
files. Try 'chtyp -lcc *.h'.
HFSinclude These are files that belong in the same hierarchy
as those in the 'include' directory, but have
non-ProDOS file names. It is possible through the
use of the path pragma to have this directory on
an HFS volume and the include directory on a
ProDOS volume.
You will have to change the file type of these
files. Try 'chtyp -lcc *.h'.
usr.man Manual pages, mostly for libc and libutil. A
work in progress. ATTENTION: See the file
NOTES/notes.* for comments on nroff; these
pages will not currently display properly on the
IIgs.
Don't worry about .so link files for now; there
is a util coming that will create them from the
mkso.data file.
Remember: The newest man binary understands the
MANPATH environment variable, so you can use more
than just /usr/man to hold your man pages.
lib/libc.v203 These are versions of libc. One of these should
lib/libc.v210 be selected based on which version of ORCALib you
lib/libc.v211b2 are using. Sorry, the earliest version of libc
that I can build is for Orca/C v2.0.3. When Orcalib
is modified, it is likely that I will only be able
to build libc for v2.1.x.
The only one of these I have tested is for Orca/C
v2.1.1b2. The selected library should be placed
in your 13/ directory, which is presumably /lib.
Currently, the libraries are built for the small
memory model, and with no optimization.
lib/libutil.203 Again, pick one to match your compiler. The second
lib/libutil.210 one can be used for generic Orca/C v2.1.x. The
routines in this library are rarely used, so the
library should go somewhere other than your 13/
directory. I suggest /usr/lib.
NOTES/README.beta
This file.
NOTES/status This lists which routines have been completed and
their test status. If you test routines that
have not been marked with a 'T' as yet, please
let me know the results via the gno-beta mailing
list -- I would like to keep the list up-to-date.
NOTES/deviations
A list of deviations from various standards or
conventions.
NOTES/notes.* Miscellaneous notes, mainly intended for Derek or
NOTES/TO.DO myself. You may find something of interest.
NOTES/headers
NOTES/Contributers
If you are using a version of Orca/C earlier than v2.1.0, you should
ensure the macros
__appleiigs__
__GNO__
are defined for your programs. This can be done by the -D occ(1) flag
or using #define in your program.
If you are using Orca/C v2.1.0 or later, you do not have to explicitly
define the above two macros as they are in the enclosed defaults.h file.
You _do_, however have to edit the __ORCAC_VERSION macro in the defaults.h
file to match your version of Orcalib. Failure to do so may cause programs
using stdio to crash.
