- How to use these diffs
- ----------------------
-
- In general:
-
- 1. Make sure you are applying the diffs to the correct version of the
- FSF distribution! Check the versions file for version numbers.
-
- 2. Un-tar the FSF distribution. Use "djtarx" included with the
- binaries for this, as it refuses to overwrite existing files (like when
- they're different after the eigth character). Check the versions file
- for file renaming instructions.
-
- 3. You'll probably want to convert the sources from Unix to DOS text
- file format. Use the "utod" program in the utils directory. If you're
- building gcc.exe, you have to convert to DOS format.
-
- 4. Apply the diffs by running "patch < whatever.dif" in the same
- directory as the sources.
-
- 5. If there is a configure.bat file present, run it.
-
- 6. Run "make". Most of the makefiles require response files, as the
- command lines are longer than 128 characters, and the makefiles are set
- up to use NDMAKE's method of creating response files.
