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. |
