Mstone building instructions
For Unix, just "gmake" one of these
release The usual optimized build
debug Debug build includes some asserts
rpackage Build the release and package it
dpackage Build the debug version and package it
all_OPT Build a multi-platform package
all_DBG Build a multi-platform debug package
For NT, run autobuild.bat. This will build and package both the debug
and optimized versions. Perl must already be built and installed in
\. The NT build may be behind the Unix stuff. Pull the build/package/*
subdirectories into the main build/package before doing a 'make all_???'.
You can build multiple OSes in the same tree. Debug and optimized
builds are kept separately. The all_??? targets will combine whatever
OSes are present into a multi-architecture package (including NT).
Note that you have ot build and package each OS before doing the all_
step.
Helper components
Linux usually comes with workable versions of gnuplot and perl. Most
other OSes don't. Mstone can build and package perl, gnuplot, and gd
with the right settings. These will be automatically built and
packaged if they are present.
Unpack gd1.3 or later in the mstone directory. You can probably find
gd from here: http://www.boutell.com/gd/. The directory should look
like gd?.*. Right now we need the (obsolete) version 1.3 to generate
GIF files (without patented run-length coding). The scripts need to
be updated to be able to handle PNG or GIF files.
Unpack gnuplot 3.7 or later in the mstone directory. You can probably
find gnuplot from http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/gnuplot_info.html. The
directory should look like gnuplot-?.* (the exact version should not
matter). Gnuplot requres gd to generate GIFs (which is what we need).
Unpack perl 5.005 or later in the mstone directory. You can probably
find perl from http://www.perl.com/pub/language/info/software.html.
The directory should look like perl5.* (the exact version should
not matter).
