This is the README for mirbsdksh, developed as part of the MirBSD
|
|
operating system at The MirOS Project, and produced portably.
|
|
Legal information is provided about a screenpage farther down.
|
|
|
|
To build mksh on MirOS, issue 'make obj && make depend && make'.
|
|
|
|
To build mksh on other operating systems, read Builsd.sh first
|
|
or consult http://wiki.mirbsd.de/MirbsdKsh for further infos.
|
|
|
|
Set the CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables
|
|
to your likes. Don't complain if anything doesn't work.

Last updated Jul '99 for pdksh-5.2.14.
|
|
(check ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca:/pub/pdksh/ or
|
|
http://www.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/ for new versions/patches)
|
|
|
|
PD-ksh is a mostly complete AT&T ksh look-alike (see NOTES file for a list
|
|
of things not supported). Work is mostly finished to make it fully
|
|
compatible with both POSIX and AT&T ksh (when the two don't conflict).
|
|
|
|
Since pdksh is free and compiles and runs on most common unix systems, it
|
|
is very useful in creating a consistent user interface across multiple
|
|
machines. For example, in the CS dept. of MUN, pdksh is installed on a
|
|
variety of machines including Suns, HPs, DecStations, pcs running Linux,
|
|
etc., and is the login shell of ~5200 users.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to be notified via email of new releases as they become
|
|
available, send mail to pdksh-request@cs.mun.ca with subject
|
|
"send release notifications" (or "don't send release notifications" to stop
|
|
them).
|
|
|
|
Newer versions of pdksh may be available from
|
|
ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca:/pub/pdksh/
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
You can send bug reports, fixes, and enhancements to pdksh@cs.mun.ca (please
|
|
don't assume I will see bug reports that are posted to some newsgroup or
|
|
mailing list - I probably won't).
|
|
If you are reporting a bug (with or without a fix), please include
|
|
* the version of pdksh you are using (see version.c, or, if you are
|
|
running pdksh, try echo $KSH_VERSION),
|
|
* the machine, operating system and compiler you are using,
|
|
* and a description of how to repeat the bug (a small shell
|
|
script that demonstrates the bug is best).
|
|
as well as the following, if relevant (if you aren't sure, include them)
|
|
* what options you are using (both configure options and set -o options)
|
|
* the output of configure, with the verbose flag
|
|
(eg, make distclean; ./configure --verbose)
|
|
* the contents of config.log (this is created by the configure script)
|
|
* if you are using gcc (the GNU C compiler), which version it is.
|
|
|
|
BTW, THE MOST FREQUENTLY REPORTED BUG IS
|
|
echo hi | read a; echo $a # Does not print hi
|
|
I'm aware of this and there is no need to report it.
