From d594fbe514e2a381541a510fe01041e546f56a67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh MacDonald Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 21:43:58 -0800 Subject: Remove xdelta1 from this repo --- xdelta1/djgpp/readme.djg | 136 ----------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 136 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 xdelta1/djgpp/readme.djg (limited to 'xdelta1/djgpp/readme.djg') diff --git a/xdelta1/djgpp/readme.djg b/xdelta1/djgpp/readme.djg deleted file mode 100644 index e0868c3..0000000 --- a/xdelta1/djgpp/readme.djg +++ /dev/null @@ -1,136 +0,0 @@ -DJGPP Port of XDelta 1.1.2 -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Installing the Binary Package ------------------------------ - -Unzip the distribution preserving the directory structure - use PKUNZIP's -d -option; use an equivalent option with other unzippers. Unzip into the top -DJGPP installation directory, e.g. c:\djgpp. - -XDelta should now be ready for use. A man page for XDelta is provided - use: - - man xdelta - -to view it. You will need to have installed the man program from the v2apps/ -directory of the DJGPP archive for this to work. - -Installing the Source Package ------------------------------ - -You should only install the source package if you want to rebuild XDelta from -the sources. To build the port, I used the following packages: - -. DJGPP 2.03 -. GNU bash 2.04 -. GNU gcc 2.95.3 -. GNU binutils 2.11.2 -. GNU sed 3.02 -. GNU awk 3.0.3 -. GNU fileutils 4.0 -. GNU shellutils 1.12 -. GNU textutils 2.0 -. glib 1.2.10 -. zlib 1.1.3 - -It may be possible to build XDelta with other versions of each package, but -this has not been tested. - -Unzip the distribution preserving the directory structure - use PKUNZIP's -d -option; use an equivalent option with other unzippers. Unzip into the top -DJGPP installation directory, e.g. c:\djgpp. - -No changes were needed to XDelta to make it work with DJGPP. - -Before building XDelta, it must be configured. This is done from bash -in the source directory using: - - ./configure --disable-shared - -The parameter '--disable-shared' is needed to get round a bug in -libtool 1.4. libtool tries to use gcc's '-fPIC' option, which produces -code that binutils does not understand (for DJGPP). '-fPIC' is used -for generating relocatable code for dynamic linking. Since DJGPP does not -support dynamic linking, we can use '--disable-shared' to stop '-fPIC' -from being used. - -For more information on the libtool problem, please see the following -post on djgpp-workers: - -http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp-workers/2001/06/18/16:32:47 - -You may wish to install XDelta somewhere else. In that case, use -the '--prefix' option, e.g. - - ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/where/i/want/xdelta - -Once this has compelted, build using: - - make - -If these compelte successfully, XDelta and its libraries can be installed -using: - - make install - -Some notes on using XDelta --------------------------- - -* XDelta is fairly simple - to see what options are available, use: - - xdelta --help - -* The '-p' or '--pristine' option prevents XDelta from using gzip - compression, this avoids creating temporary files. This option - is presented because gzip does not support exact re-compression, - since there is no way to save the configuration used to produce - a particular gzip file. - -* XDelta's buffers are sized (by default) according to the amount of - free physical memory. It defaults to using 87.5% (7/8) of - the available memory. - - Under Windows this sometimes does not detect the amount of - free memory correctly (well, on this author's machine at least). - Sometimes it was necessary to tell xdelta what amount of memory - to use: - - xdelta patch --maxmem=32M ... - - NB: More memory means faster patching, with large patches & files. - - It is recommend you run XDelta in verbose mode, to see how much - memory it is using: - - xdelta patch -V ... - -libxdelta and libedsio ----------------------- - -XDelta is actually just a front-end for two libraries - libxdelta -and libedsio. libxdelta is a library for handling XDelta-format deltas. -libedsio is a library for handling serialised I/O. Both these libraries are -included in the port and can be used in your own programs. - -Unfortunately, there is no documentation for these libraries - the only -reference is the source code. If you are interested in libxdelta and libedsio, -please download the source distribution. Please note that I am not familiar -with these libraries and I will not be able to answer any queries on them. - -libxdelta and libedsio come with *-config files, which return compilation -and linking parameters. They are similar to glib-config. Example: - - bash-2.04$ xdelta-config --cflags - -I/dev/env/DJDIR/lib/glib/include -I/dev/env/DJDIR/include - bash-2.04$ $DJDIR/bin/xdelta-config --libs - -L/dev/env/DJDIR/lib -lxdelta -ledsio -lglib - -Finally -------- - -If you have any comments or problems with this port, please feel free to -e-mail me. I hope this port is useful. - -Thanks, bye, - -Richard Dawe 2001-10-05 -- cgit v1.2.3
