|
<p> How to build the Mini vMac program
|
|
from the source code. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Warning</b> : This is not recommended unless you are a programmer
|
|
familiar with the C language and your chosen development environment.
|
|
First, the versions I provide (the standard Variations and the
|
|
<a href="var/mnvm0159.html">Variations Service</a>),
|
|
which are compiled using a specific version of GCC, are much better
|
|
tested. Compiling with other development environments may encounter
|
|
compiler bugs and Mini vMac bugs that only some compilers trigger. I try
|
|
ensure that Mini vMac can compile with other development environments at
|
|
the time of final release of a branch, but the results are not tested
|
|
too thoroughly. Further, new versions of development environments
|
|
released later may cause further problems, which won’t be
|
|
corrected before the next branch of Mini vMac. So, when you compile
|
|
your own copy of Mini vMac, you will need to test it thoroughly,
|
|
and find a fix for any problems yourself. Second, for all
|
|
development environments besides the set of GCC cross compilers that
|
|
I use, the build system just tries to configure it for maximum chance of
|
|
working correctly, and not for performance. If you want good
|
|
performance, you will need to try out various compiler options, see
|
|
what is fastest, and then thoroughly test to make sure that it
|
|
works correctly. Third, if you are not familiar with your chosen
|
|
development environment, I can not teach everyone in that position. For
|
|
lack of time, and that I’m no expert in all development
|
|
environments either.

|
First download the source code archive from the
|
|
<a href="download.html">download</a>
|
|
page, a file with the name like
|
|
“minivmac-3x.xx.src.tgz”.
|
|
Extract from this file to get a folder.
|
|
(Whose contents are described in the
|
|
<a href="contents.html">Contents of the source distribution</a> page.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The source for the configuration
|
|
tool is in “setup”folder. In a unix like system,
|
|
such as Linux on x86-64,
|
|
it can be compiled using something like
|
|
“gcc setup/tool.c -o setup_t”, then run with something
|
|
like “./setup_t -t lx64 > setup.sh”, and the output
|
|
run with “. setup.sh”, and then Mini vMac can be
|
|
compiled with “make”.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Besides “-t”, the configuration tool
|
|
accepts many more options, listed on
|
|
the <a href="options.html">Mini vMac Options</a> page.
|
|
The <a href="develop.html">Develop</a> page has
|
|
more options useful to developers and maintainers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before compiling the configuration tool, you
|
|
can insert definitions into “setup/CONFIGUR.i”,
|
|
such as to specify what development environment you
|
|
are using. The <a href="setupcfg.html">Setup Tool Configuration</a>
|
|
page lists such choices.
