MPW Shell --------- MPW Shell is a re-implementation of the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop shell. The primary reason is to support MPW Make (which generated shell script). It may also be useful for other things. Supported features ------------------ * If ... [Else If] ... [Else] ... End * Begin ... End * Loop ... End * For name In [word...] ... End * Break [If], Continue [If], Exit [If] * ( ... ) * || * && * Redirection * | "pipes" (via a temporary file. Presumably, that's what MPW did as well.) * Subshells (`...`, ``...``) Not (yet) supported ------------- * aliases * regular expressions * text-editing commands (search forward/backward, et cetera) Builtin Commands ---------------- * AboutBox * Alias * Catenate * Directory * Echo * Evaluate * Execute * Exists * Export * Parameters * Quit * Quote * Set * Shift * Unalias * Unexport * Unset * Version * Which Setup ----- 1. Install MPW. The mpw binary should be somewhere in your `$PATH`. It also checks `/usr/local/bin/mpw` and `$HOME/mpw/bin/mpw`. You can use mpw-shell without it but only with builtin commands. 2. Copy the `Startup` script to `$HOME/mpw/`. This script is executed when mpw-shell (or mpw-make) starts up (imagine that) and should be used to set environment variables. Command Line Flags ------------------ -D name=value Define environment variable -v Be verbose (equivalent to -Decho=1) -f Ignore the Startup script -c string Execute string -h Display help Build ----- Standard CMake build sequence: ```bash mkdir build cd build cmake .. make ``` After that, do the standard CMake install sequence in the same folder: ```bash cmake --install ``` to install `mpw-shell` and `mpw-make` in `/usr/bin/local`.
