Date: Mon, 16 Jan 1995 19:51:18 +0900 From: Stephen Turnbull To: djgpp-announce AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Cc: tony AT nt DOT tuwien DOT ac DOT at, Charles Sandmann Subject: EZ-GCC distribution & FSDB091a available at Yaseppochi-gumi Yaseppochi-gumi announces the availability of a fairly compact distribution of DJGPP, the 0.91a version of FSDB, and some miscellanea. (Access instructions in signature.) Description: * Apparently the Morten Welinder version of the "Sally" Full Screen Debugger was removed from SimTel when Long Doan's version was uploaded. Since these have nonoverlapping features, I have made Morten's fsdb091a.zip (the most recent publically-released version I am aware of) available. * Anton Helm of TU-Wien has put together a distribution of the essential binaries, includes, and libraries of DJGPP 1.12, and packaged these with a public domain editor, ND-Make, and student-proof installation batch files. The main distribution fits on three 1.44MB floppy disks, and two optional disks containing the Objective-C and GDB programs. These are found in directory .../packages as 5 ZIP files labelled ez-gcc-[123ab].zip. There is a readme and installation instructions for the suite in ez-gcc.txt. This distribution does *not* contain documentation or sources. The intention was to provide a *functional* compiler suite in a limited amount of space. You may differ with the opinion that a program lacking documentation can be nonetheless functional. Me, too! Still, the idea was minimum space. The PostScript documents produced some time ago (and now out of date), along with Eli Zaretskii's FAQ (the Dec 1994 beta version), are in gccpsdoc.zip. Full documentation, including the TeXInfo suite of programs, is available in the subdirectory ez-gcc-DOC. Sources are in ez-gcc-SRC. * The other packages to be found in .../packages are provided as *examples* of compact packaging of TeX/LaTeX and GNU Emacs. THE BINARIES ARE FOR LINUX. Probably most useful are the *.mft files, which will give you an idea of the minimal configuration for these packages. However, it is presumably possible to substitute DOS binaries for the Linux binaries, and therefore I made the full distributions available. THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A VERY SIMPLE SUBSTITUTION; directory trees and other compiled-in parameters are likely to vary substantially from Linux to DOS. YOU WERE WARNED. Thanks to Tony Helm for the EZ-GCC distribution, to Stephen Benson for the pointers to the Linux "Tiny" packages, and to Charles Sandmann for mentioning that there is a need for Morten Welinder's version of FSDB by certain people. -- Stephen Turnbull Yaseppochi-gumi == Skinny Boy Associates Access: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- anonymous FTP host: turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp login: ftp or anonymous password: [your email address] directory: pub/djgpp/packages ---------------------------------------------------------------------- URL http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/#djgpp ----------------------------------------------------------------------
