ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU ed 0.9 uploaded
Juan Manuel Guerrero
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
All the changes done to the original distribution are documented in the
diffs file and located together with all the files needed to configure
the package (config.bat, config.sed, config.site, etc.) in the /djgpp subdir.
The DJGPP specific functionality of this port is the same than the previous
port. This port does not support dos-style (backslash) file names in the ed
scripts because the backslash character is used as the escape character by
ed. This is well known from the old port too.
For DJGPP specific issues please read carefully the /djgpp/readme file,
especially the section `Known bugs�3��. Please note that all test concerning
piping will fail. There is no way to solve this issue.
User visible changes (from NEWS):
Changes in version 0.9:
Return 0 exit status after receiving SIGHUP if the file is not modified
or is saved without error.
Arg_parser has been updated to 1.1.
If you want to recompile the package, run the command:
make
Install the products running the command:
make install
There is should be noticed that the testsuite in this package does not work.
As usual I have configured and produced the binaries using stock djdev203.
If you are a WinXP user you will have to reconfigure and recompile from scratch
running the commands:
make distclean
djgpp\config
make
make install
These command sequence will produce and install the binaries, info docs and
unformated man pages in the djgpp installation tree defined by /den/env/DJDIR
The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from
ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2008-02-25):
