- The FSF libg++ distribution contains files which have names that differ only
- in case (uppercase versus lowercase). I.E. there is a Filebuf.cc and a
- filebuf.cc in the same directory.
-
- You can't simply untar the FSF distribution archive because first Filebuf.cc
- will be extracted, and then filebuf.cc will be extracted in the same
- directory, and the contents of filebuf.cc will go into Filebuf.cc.
-
- The solution used is to rename some files to have leading '_' characters.
- Before applying the Amiga diffs and building libg++, you need to have moved
- some files in the FSF distribution as follows:
-
- FSF file Move to
- ------------------ ---------------------
-
- libg++/old-stream/filebuf.cc libg++/old-stream/_filebuf.cc
- libg++/old-stream/filebuf.h libg++/old-stream/_filebuf.h
-
- Since there is some trickery involved in getting a good base FSF tree
- extracted from the tar archive on an Amiga, a suitably modified FSF tree is
- provided here for reference purposes in the file libg++-2.7.1-src.tgz.
