Annotation of GNUtools/libg++/libio/dbz/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: The dbz package was "liberated" from C News.
                      2: It is included with the GNU libio because it provides
                      3: a fairly good work-out for a stdio implementation.
                      4: The Makefile.in, configure.in, and stdio.h have been
                      5: set up to test libio.
                      6: 
                      7: ------
                      8: 
                      9: This is the new, improved, lemon-freshened :-) dbz.
                     10: 
                     11: Just "make" will get you dbz.o and the dbz program.  "make r" runs an
                     12: extensive set of regression tests; most of the mysterious oddments lying
                     13: around here are to do with that.  "make rclean" cleans up after "make r".
                     14: 
                     15: You probably want to inspect the #ifdef list early in dbz.c before
                     16: compiling, although the defaults should work all right on most systems.
                     17: 
                     18: If you are not building this as part of C News, you will need to change
                     19: the -I option in FLAGS in the Makefile to "-I.", and delete the DBMLIBS
                     20: and RFC lines entirely.  That will break some of the regression tests;
                     21: at some point I'll fix this.
                     22: 
                     23: If you are using this independently from C News, you probably still want
                     24: to look through ../notebook/problems, as some of the portability problems
                     25: described in there can affect dbz.
