- [README.atari for flexs237.zoo from atari.archive.umich.edu
- last update March 5, 1993 -- hyc@atari.archive.umich.edu]
-
- here is the latest version of flex (2.3 Patch #7) for the atari.
-
- first:
- read the files COPYING, flex.1, flexdoc.1 and README
-
- acknowledgements:
- to Vern Paxson for this increditable effort, and for making
- it available freely.
-
- installation:
-
- [ (skip these steps...)
-
- - get flex distribution: version 2.3 patch #7
- (available on prep.ai.mit.edu)
- - apply the patches in atari.diffs to the distribution.
- - add the files Makefile.atari, yyread.c, README.atari to
- the distribution.
-
- The above steps have already been done for this archive. -- hyc ]
-
- - edit Makefile.atari to fix up paths (or you can use
- the included executable flex.ttp).
- - make
- - cp flex.ttp to anywhere in $PATH
- - cp flex.skel into the file named SKELETON_FILE in makefile.cgcc
- (flex.ttp is built with e:/lib/flex.skel)
- - cp flexlib.olb into $GNULIB so that gcc -lflexlib can find it.
- - run atleast the small test.
- it passes all the tests. _stksize is set to -1L. if you want to change it,
- make it a larg'ish number.
-
- you can also fix up the path to the skel file by patching the binary
- with a shorter or same length path as e:/lib/flex.skel. (dont
- forget to put the 0 byte if you patch to a shorter path). i use
- gnuEmacs for all my binary editing needs!
-
- please report all atari related errors to me, dont bug vern with them.
-
- enjoy,
