Building NSPR on Windows NT Using Netscape's gmake and Other Tools This directory contains the following tools: - gmake.exe: GNU make 3.74, modified to use shmsdos.exe as the shell - shmsdos.exe: a lightweight shell developed by Netscape programmers. It has most of the file manipulation operations (such as cp, rm, mkdir as well as Netscape's own nsinstall) as built-in commands, so even if you have these file utilities installed on your NT machine, they won't be invoked by gmake and shmsdos. Also, since shmsdos is not a full-blown shell and its built-in file commands are not fully compatible with the true Unix file utilities, our makefiles have had to avoid some features of sh and work around the incompatibilities on Windows NT. - uname.exe: this uname.exe returns the OS as "WINNT", which is what our makefiles assume. Do not use a uname.exe that returns other strings, such as "Windows_NT". Binaries for the x86 processors can be found in the 'x86' subdirectory. Binaries for the alpha processors can be found in the 'alpha' subdirectory. INSTALLATION: Install gmake.exe, shmsdos.exe, and uname.exe in any directory. Add that directory to your Path environment variable.
