How to build GNU sed 3.02/iX.1 The source code is packaged as a diff against the original sed 3.02 sources. Please download sed-3.02.tar.gz from one of the www.gnu.org mirror sites. Instructions below assume a GNU.ORG logon, because this is my porting setup. :hello manager.sys :newacct org,mgr :purgeuser mgr.org :purgegroup pub.org :altacct org; cap=+ph :newgroup gnu.org; access=(r,x:any; w,a,l,s:gl) :newuser gnu.org; pass=whatever; home=gnu :altuser gnu.org; cap=+ph,gl :hello gnu.org :xeq /bin/sh -L shell/iX> mkdir build; cd build shell/iX> gzip -dc /tmp/sed-3.02.tar.gz | tar xvopf - shell/iX> cd sed-3.02 shell/iX> tar xvzopf /tmp/sed-302-ix1-delta.tar.Z shell/iX> mpe/patch.sh shell/iX> mpe/build.sh You are now ready to use the software in /ORG/GNU/opt/sed/v302 (bin, info, ...) It might be useful to create a symbolic link like /usr/local/sed to point there. Have fun using GNU sed 3.02/iX, but keep in mind: *use at your own risk* Lars Appel, March 2001
