8. Can be built without (a previous version of) Make.
9. The build process requires only standard tools. (Optional
- targets like "install:" and "clean:" still need additional
- programs, though, see below.)
+ targets like "check:" still need additional programs, though,
+ see below.)
10. Beginning with v3.78, the test suite works in the DJGPP
environment (requires Perl and auxiliary tools; see below).
either DJTAR (which is part of the DJGPP development
environment), or the DJGPP port of GNU Tar.
- 2. Invoke the 'configure.bat' batch file.
+ 2. If you have a working Make already, you can run:
- If you are building Make in-place, i.e. in the same directory
- where its sources are kept, just type "configure.bat" and press
- [Enter]. Otherwise, you need to supply the path to the source
- directory as an argument to the batch file, like this:
+ make -f Basic.mk
- c:\djgpp\gnu\make-4.2\configure.bat c:/djgpp/gnu/make-4.2
+ 3. If you don't have a working Make already you can bootstrap one
+ by running:
- Note the forward slashes in the source path argument: you MUST
- use them here.
+ .\builddos.bat
- 3. If configure.bat doesn't find a working Make, it will suggest to
- use the 'dosbuild.bat' batch file to build Make. Either do as it
- suggests or install another Make program (a pre-compiled binary
- should be available from the usual DJGPP sites) and rerun
- configure.bat.
-
- 4. If you will need to run Make on machines without an FPU, you
- might consider building a version of Make which doesn't issue
- floating-point instructions (they don't help much on MSDOS
- anyway). To this end, edit the Makefile created by
- configure.bat and add -DNO_FLOAT to the value of CPPFLAGS.
-
- 5. Invoke Make.

- If you are building from outside of the source directory, you
+ 4. If you are building from outside of the source directory, you
need to tell Make where the sources are, like this:
- make srcdir=c:/djgpp/gnu/make-4.2
-
- (configure.bat will tell you this when it finishes). You MUST
- use a full, not relative, name of the source directory here, or
- else Make might fail.
-
- 6. After Make finishes, if you have a Unix-style shell installed,
- you can use the 'install' target to install the package. You
- will also need GNU Fileutils and GNU Sed for this (they should
- be available from the DJGPP sites).
-
- By default, GNU make will install into your DJGPP installation
- area. If you wish to use a different directory, override the
- DESTDIR variable when invoking "make install", like this:
-
- make install DESTDIR=c:/other/dir
+ make -f c:/djgpp/gnu/make/Basic.mk SRCDIR=c:/djgpp/gnu/make
- This causes the make executable to be placed in c:/other/dir/bin,
- the man pages in c:/other/dir/man, etc.
+ or:
- Without a Unix-style shell, you will have to install programs
- and the docs manually. Copy make.exe to a directory on your
- PATH, make.i* info files to your Info directory, and update the
- file 'dir' in your Info directory by adding the following item
- to the main menu:
+ c:/djgpp/gnu/make/builddos.bat c:/djgpp/gnu/make
- * Make: (make.info). The GNU make utility.
-
- If you have the 'install-info' program (from the GNU Texinfo
- package), it will do that for you if you invoke it like this:
-
- install-info --info-dir=c:/djgpp/info c:/djgpp/info/make.info
-
- (If your Info directory is other than C:\DJGPP\INFO, change this
- command accordingly.)
-
- 7. The 'clean' targets also require Unix-style shell, and GNU Sed
- and 'rm' programs (the latter from Fileutils).
-
- 8. To run the test suite, type "make check". This requires a Unix
+ 5. To run the test suite, type "make check". This requires a Unix
shell (I used the DJGPP port of Bash 2.03), Perl, Sed, Fileutils
and Sh-utils.
+ 6. To install copy make.exe to the preferred location.

+ Since GNU Make 4.3, support for customized platform installations
+ has been removed. If you'd like to collaborate on reinstating
+ these capabilities, contact bug-make@gnu.org.
