<h2>ACK Modula-2 and Pascal compilers for Minix 2.0.0</h2>
|
|
|
|
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.)
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Two packages are available for the 16 and 32-bit versions of Minix:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="ack_i86.taz">ack_i86.taz</a> - 16-bit version.
|
|
<a href="ack_i386.taz">ack_i386.taz</a> - 32-bit version.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Installation</h3>
|
|
To install use <b>FDVOL</b> to place the proper file on a floppy, and
|
|
run <b>setup /usr</b> 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.)
|
|
|
|
<h3>Compilation</h3>
|
|
Log in as <b>bin</b>. If your system runs in 16-bit mode then run
|
|
<b>make install</b> in <b>src/commands/i86/</b> to recompile the 16-bit
|
|
compiler driver.
|
|
<p>
|
|
On either kind of system, run <b>make install</b> in <b>src/lib/</b> to
|
|
compile the Modula-2 and Pascal additions to the library. The compilers
|
|
are now ready for use.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Manual pages.</h3>
|
|
The manual page <b>cc</b>(1) will be renewed. It now focuses on the
|
|
32-bit driver, with differences with the 16-bit compiler noted where
|
|
appropriate. A new manual page <b>ACK</b>(7) is added that contains a
|
|
large amount of additional information on the ACK compilers. Use
|
|
<b>makewhatis /usr/man</b> to allow the <b>man</b> command to find it.
