- Sprite-specific changes to the distribution are contained in the sprite
- subdirectory.

-
- Applying new patches:
-
- Apply the patches to the sources in the dist subdirectory.
- Go to the sprite subdirectory and check out any files whose version
- in the dist directory have been modified by the patch.
- Use rcsmerge to merge any Sprite changes into the new file. You'll
- have to look at the log to figure out which version to merge.
- Usually it will be -r1.1 -r1.2. Sometimes the changes to the
- distribution means you won't need the Sprite version anymore.
- Move the file and RCS file out of the way, change the symbolic
- link in the parent directory.
- Make a symbolic link for config.h in /sprite/src/cmds/perl:
- ln -s '$MACHINE.md/config.h' .
- Run Configure once for each machine type, e.g sun3, sun4, ds3100.
- You have to run it on a machine of each type. This will create
- a config.h for each type, which will be put in the machine
- dependent directories via the symbolic link.
- Delete the symbolic link for config.h.
- Run mkmf.
- cd to the 't' directory and run TEST. All tests should pass, except
- for a few on the sun3 but I've never worried about it since we
- don't use the sun3's much anymore.
- Install it.
- Delete all the .orig file from the distribution.
-
- You also need to install the programs a2p, s2p, and h2ph.
