Let $DD be where the master source is: % cp $DD/*.b bin % cd bin % /bin/ls -1 | sed -e 's;\.b$;;' | xargs -i= -t mv =.b = % chmod +x * % cd .. ! If you want to override the behavior of any of the Bourne shell scripts for portability or because of different local policies, this is a good time to do so. I suggest putting locally changed copies in a separate bin directory that is on the command search path *before* the bin directory in which the scripts will be ! installed, e.g. create /usr/local/free/howard/1/local-bin, and ! put it on the command search path before ! /usr/local/free/howard/1/bin. Here is a guide to possible local ! changes: ! mkAr This makes the ar archive library. It is very BSDish ! and must change for the `lorder $* | tsort` crowd. ! mkCIncl These both assume that calling /lib/cpp -M is the ! mkLibIncl way to find out what include files a C source ! file uses. Change them if that's wrong for your ! system. ! mkDistI This is how files get from the master source ! directory to the compilation directory.

I ! use hard links. This would be the place to strip ! symbol tables. Shell scripts are *not* considered ! to be executable. ! mkLaTeXPS This formats a LaTeX file, including BibTeX ! processing, all the way to a printable ! representation, which for me is PostScript. If ! you want some other final format, I would suggest ! writing a separate shell script. ! ! mkManPS This formats a manual entry to PostScript, using ! TransScript. If you have some other way to format ! manual entries, I would suggest writing a separate ! shell script. If you write original software with these tools, you may also want to change mkDistO, which places files in the distribution directory. I use hard links for this. Also, the following are --- 118,210 ---- tex Installed TeX & LaTeX macro files. For example: ! % cd /f/howard/2 % mkdir bin include include/howard man man/{cat,man}{1,3} tex ! Create a subdirectory for doing the actual compilations. For ! my example, I'll use sun3-411, corresponding to a Sun-3 running ! SunOS 4.1.1: ! % mkdir sun3-411 ! Install the Bourne shell scripts into the correct destination ! directory. The first two bytes of each .b file are spaces; this ! normally causes the Bourne shell to interpret them, regardless ! of whether the UNIX version handles #! at the beginning of an ! executable. So normally, it's only necessary to copy foo.b to ! foo, then make foo executable. For example, let DD be a shell ! variable containing a full path to the master source directory: % cp $DD/*.b bin % cd bin % /bin/ls -1 | sed -e 's;\.b$;;' | xargs -i= -t mv =.b = % chmod +x * % cd .. ! ! On some systems it may be necessary to insert a ! #!/bin/sh ! line at the beginning of each executable. In that case, you can ! use a simple Bourne shell program like this: ! #!/bin/sh ! for f ! do ! p=`basename "$f" .b` ! echo '#!/bin/sh' > "$p" ! cat "$f" >> "$p" ! done ! Suppose this program is in the file binstall. Then you'd use ! these commands instead: ! % cd bin ! % binstall $DD/*.b ! % chmod +x * ! % cd .. ! If you want to override the behavior of any of the Bourne shell scripts for portability or because of different local policies, this is a good time to do so. I suggest putting locally changed copies in a separate bin directory that is on the command search path *before* the bin directory in which the scripts will be ! installed, e.g. create /f/howard/2/local-bin, and put it on the ! command search path before /f/howard/2/bin. Then, when ! installing the next version, you don't have to remember which ! programs in /f/howard/2/bin you changed locally; you just copy ! everything in /f/howard/2/local-bin into /f/howard/3/local-bin. !
