First, fetch libutf-2.0 and libfmt-2.0 -from - http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rsc/software/ - -(Beware that in libfmt/fmt.c there is a line that says: - 'u', __ifmt, /* in Plan 9, __flagfmt */ -Thus, sam will have to fmtinstall the other thing. Other ported programs -may have to do the same. The fmt library should probably print messages -about bad format characters to stderr, since no one seems to check the -return codes.) - -Compile and install those two libraries. -Set PREFIX in the Makefile to match, then compile sam. - -Your C compiler will emit many complaints of the form: - sam.c:496: warning: passing arg 1 of `bufread' from incompatible pointer type - -This is because the Plan 9 compiler has a slightly different (better, -ala Oberon) type system than ISO C. Popular compilers generate the right -code, so in an act of civil disobediance I changed just enough to get -it to compile, but left the type errors in. Now the next C standard can -adopt this extension, because at least one important C program uses it! - --- Scott Schwartz, 4 July 2003 - |
