This is a port of library jbigkit 1.6 to MSDOS/DJGPP. 1.: DJGPP specific changes. ======================= The code of the library itself does not need any changes to the source code. This is different for the two utility programs that come with the library. Those programs need to switch STDIN nad STDOUT from text mode into binary mode to be able to process the image files correctly. It is well known on MSDOS/DJGPP systems that switching STDIN/STDOUT, if connected to the console, into binary mode will inhibit the reaction of the program to cntl-c (SIGINT) and cntl-\ (SIGQUIT) signals making it impossible to interrupt the programs. Even the use of __djgpp_set_ctrl_c() will not solve the problem. The programs have been compiled with STDIN/STDOUT switched to binary mode. This will make the testsuite work and will make work the programs if used in a pipe. If this program behavour is not wanted, you will have to recompile those programs with the macro SET_STDIN_STDOUT_IN_BINARY_MODE set to 0 in both files /pbmtools/jbgtopbm.c and /pbmtools/pbmtojbg.c. In that case you will get binaries that can be interrupted from the console but that will not be able to read or write files from STDIN and STDOUT. The package does not need any configuration. To compile the products simple use the provided makefiles. As usual the diffs file is stored in /djgpp. Please *read* the docs. 2.: Installing the binary package. ============================== 2.1.: Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation directory, just unzip it preserving the directory structure running *ONE* of the following commands: unzip32 jbig16b.zip or djtarx jbig16b.zip or pkunzip -d jbig16b.zip 3.: Building the binaries from sources. =================================== 3.1.: Create a temporary directory and copy the source package into the directory. If you download the source distribution from one of the DJGPP sites, just unzip it preserving the directory structure running *ONE* of the following commands: unzip32 jbig16s.zip or djtarx jbig16s.zip or pkunzip -d jbig16s.zip 3.2.: To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages: djdev203.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version) bsh205b.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version) gcc411b.zip, gpp411b.zip, bnu2161b.zip, mak3792b.zip, fil40b.zip, shl20jb.zip, txt20b.zip, txi48b.zip, grep24b.zip and sed415b.zip If you want to run the check you will need also: dif287b.zip All this packages can be found in the v2gnu directory of any ftp.delorie.com mirror. You will need bsh204b.zip or later and *NOT* a prior version or the build will fail. The same applies to djdev203.zip. All the other packages are the ones I have used to build the binaries from this source. Previuos versions of this packages may do the job as well but I have not tested this. 3.3.: To compile the package run from the top srcdir the command: make 3.4.: Now you can run the tests if you like. From the top srcdir run the command: make test No test should fail if the binaries have been compiled with STDIN and STDOUT switched to binary mode. Else all tests involving pipes and/or reading from STDIN/STDOUT will fail. 3.5.: To install the binaries, header, library, catalogs, and info docs run the following command from the top srcdir: make install This will install the products into your DJGPP installation tree given by the default prefix "/dev/env/DJDIR". If you prefer to install them into some other directory you will have to set prefix to the appropiate value: make install prefix=z:/some/other/place Send jbigkit specific bug reports to .
