Building and installing:
========================

To build Awka under DJGPP bash, you must have your DJGPP environment
set up and operating correctly (environment variables set, PATH set,
etc.).  If you have DJGPP already running, then these instructions
will allow you to build Awka.

Awka requires Win95/98 LFN support.  You must have LFN=y in your DJGPP.ENV 
file.  Plain DOS building has not been tested.

If you did not use DJTAR to extract Awka, you should delete Awka and
re-extract it using DJTAR.  Recent versions of WinZip (including the
most recent as of this writing, 7.0 SR-1) do not extract zero-length
files, and there are several zero-length files in the directories test
and test/reg that WinZip will fail to extract.

You can use this command to extract the Awka gzipped tarball:

  djtar -x -d -v -!. ?:/awka-<version>.tar.gz

where "?:/" is the drive and path where the Awka file is located, and
"awka-<version>.tar.gz" is the filename of the Awka distribution that
you downloaded.

If you have not already done so, copy bash.exe to /bin/sh.exe, or make
a symbolic link file as described in the bash installation documentation.  
Most of the Awka installation will not work properly unless you do this.

Ensure FILES=50 (or larger) exists in your CONFIG.SYS file.  If it
does not, make the change and REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM.  If you are not
booted with FILES=50 or better, the "manyfiles" test will fail in
strange and unpredictable ways.

In the Awka directory, you will need to rebuild the configure script
so that DJGPP-specific changes are included.  To do this, type:

    bash autoconf

To build Awka under DJGPP bash, type:

    bash ./configdj

(bash is required as both autoconf and configdj are shell scripts)

To make and install Awka:

    make install

To run the test suite (be patient, this can take a while)

    make test

All the tests should run successfully.  If you see any tests fail, 
be sure to report them to Andrew Sumner, andrew_sumner@bigfoot.com.
