Re: Building RCS 5.7 with egcs-1.1-cygb19 fails


Hi Karel,

   *rcs-5.7*
   -------

   - what is it?
     - RCS, the Revision Control System, manages multiple revisions of
       files. RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge
       revisions. It is useful for files that are frequently revised,
       e.g. programs, documentation, graphics, and papers.

   - system
     - WinNT 4.0 SP3 with cygwin32 B19.3 (coolview) and egcs-1.1-cygwin32

   - preliminaries
     - execute chmod u+w -R on source tree directory to prevent some
       error messages by configure

   - configure
     - works without changes

   - make
     - in src/conf.sh line 1039 change has_mmap=1 to has_mmap=0
     - in src/Makefile change line 90 to look like x = .exe
     (found in Erwin Achmann's contribution to the package report)

   - make install
     - works without changes
     - installs to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man

   - notes
     - configure sometimes hangs on 'checking diff basename' when
       trying to reconfigure the package after a successful compile.
       Just delete the whole source directory and start from scratch.
     - the package has been built for binary mounts and not tested on
       nonbinary ones. But as RCS internally handles its files in UN*X
       LF format I don't expect it to work.

   - package availability
     - on ftp.franken.de
     - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Weiser_Michael
     - as rcs-5.7-cygwin32.tar.gz

   - contributed by
     - michael@weiser.saale-net.de (Michael Weiser)
     and
     - acherman@inf.ethz.ch  (Erwin Achermann)
