| 1 | Build tools |
| 2 | ~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Apart from the tools provided, you'll need the following programs to |
| 5 | build the Straylight Source Release: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | cc Acorn's C compiler |
| 8 | objasm Acorn's ARM assembler |
| 9 | link Acorn's linker |
| 10 | libfile Acorn's archiver |
| 11 | squeeze Acorn's executable compresser |
| 12 | amu Acorn's rather nasty make utility |
| 13 | ccrunch A BASIC cruncher |
| 14 | sed GNU's stream editor |
| 15 | |
| 16 | I recommend using the C5 versions of these tools; some of the source |
| 17 | files may require C5 versions, but I'm not sure. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | A few pieces of code were deliberately built using the C4 versions of |
| 20 | various tools, to ensure compatibility with people developing for RISC |
| 21 | OS 2. For this reason, some of the Makefiles assume the presence of |
| 22 | programs `o-cc', `o-objasm', `o-link' and `o-libfile'; these are assumed |
| 23 | to be the earlier versions. If you only have one version of the |
| 24 | compiler, assembler and tools, you can set aliases to make the |
| 25 | `o-'-prefixed versions run the non-prefixed ones. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | The STEEL library may require bits of RISC_OSLib. You won't be able to |
| 28 | build STEEL or the programs which use it without RISC_OSLib. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Everything else ought to be provided in the package. There are a |
| 31 | collection of strange tools we've created to help build our programs, |
| 32 | and a few more written specially for this source release: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | buildstub Builds Sapphire extension stubs |
| 35 | enumerate Run a *command for each file in a directory |
| 36 | fixlink Patches partially linked AOF files because link 4.00 is |
| 37 | buggy |
| 38 | hour Hourglass control from Obey files |
| 39 | inst Install programs once they've been built |
| 40 | msgaof Compile a message file to linkable AOF |
| 41 | pathutil Manipulate path variables properly |
| 42 | resgen Tool for building DLLs containing shared resources |
| 43 | setdate Stamp the current date into an AOF file |
| 44 | setslot A replacement for *WimpSlot which understands flex |
| 45 | ssrclean Delete a lot of files at once |
| 46 | submake Tool for making recursive makes work |
| 47 | templaof Convert a template file into an embedded templates |
| 48 | test Test conditions in Obey files |
