ACK Modula-2 and Pascal compilers for Minix 2.0.0
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the binaries and library sources for the ACK
|
|
Modula-2 and Pascal compilers that can be added to Minix 2.0.0.
|
|
(And to Minix 1.7.2 and inbetween versions, although that has not
|
|
been tested well.)
|
|
|
|
Minix already has a C compiler derived from the Amsterdam Compiler
|
|
Kit, but thanks to a misunderstanding the Modula-2 and Pascal
|
|
compilers were not added to the distribution. The next distribution of
|
|
Minix will have them by default.
|
|
|
|
Two packages are available for the 16 and 32-bit versions of Minix:
|
|
|
|
ack_i86.taz - 16-bit version.
|
|
ack_i386.taz - 32-bit version.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
|
|
To install use FDVOL to place the proper file on a floppy, and run
|
|
setup /usr under Minix to load the files onto your system. The
|
|
binaries of the new compiler passes will be installed, several
|
|
Makefiles replaced, and library sources for the Modula-2 and Pascal
|
|
compilers added. (The 32-bit version also contains all other compiler
|
|
passes to make sure that you have the latest binaries in case you
|
|
source-upgraded all the way up from 1.7.0.)
|
|
|
|
Compilation
|
|
|
|
Log in as bin. If your system runs in 16-bit mode then run make
|
|
install in src/commands/i86/ to recompile the 16-bit compiler driver.
|
|
|
|
On either kind of system, run make install in src/lib/ to compile the
|
|
Modula-2 and Pascal additions to the library. The compilers are now
|
|
ready for use.
|
|
|
|
Manual pages.
|
|
|
|
The manual page cc(1) will be renewed. It now focuses on the 32-bit
|
|
driver, with differences with the 16-bit compiler noted where
|
|
necessary. A new manual page ACK(7) is added that contains a large
|
|
amount of additional information on the ACK compilers. Use
|
|
makewhatis /usr/man to allow the man command to find it.
