  1. Tree v3.7 for FreeDOS, compile instructions.

    2. 

  2. 

    3. 

  3. Tree uses the findfile.h header file to provide a consistant interface

    4. 

  4. to the necessary compiler dependant functions.  findfile.h is Public

    5. 

  5. Domain, and currently supports compiler independent methods for

    6. 

  6. find first file, find next file, find close (needed for some but not 

    7. 

  7. all compilers), get volume label, get serial #, get current drive, 

    8. 

  8. get current working directory, and the necessary defines for file 

    9. 

  9. attributes and path component sizes.  Refer to findfile.h for a full 

    10. 

  10. list of compilers it is written/tested to work with.

    11. 

  11. 

    12. 

  12. To compile tree, setup your compiler environment properly, then

    13. 

  13. compile specifying tree.c as the source file.

    14. 

  14. 

    15. 

  15. Cats message support (Jim Hall's Cats) will not compile with 

    16. 

  16.   Micro-C/PC nor with HiTech's Pacific C.

    17. 

  17. If you are compiling with cats support:

    18. 

  18. You must define USE_CATGETS (either on command line or in the source),

    19. 

  19. and add the files catgets.c db.c get_line.c

    20. 

  20. For any of the Borland compilers and Digital Mars compilers then

    21. 

  21. Jim's Cats 3.9.4 or higher can be used.  For Microsoft Visual C

    22. 

  22. patch catgets.c to not use dir.h and add a few macros.

    23. 

  23. [Note: The necessary files from Jim's LGPL Cats 3.9.4 with this patch 

    24. 

  24.        are included in the SOURCE directory. ]

    25. 

  25. #ifdef _MSC_VER				/* dir.h not available for MS C */

    26. 

  26. #define MAXPATH _MAX_PATH

    27. 

  27. #define MAXDIR _MAX_DIR

    28. 

  28. #define MAXEXT _MAX_EXT

    29. 

  29. #define fnmerge _makepath

    30. 

  30. #else

    31. 

  31. #include <dir.h>				/* fnmerge */

    32. 

  32. #endif

    33. 

  33. 

    34. 

  34. Jim Hall has added a Makefile, refer to it, future versions will

    35. 

  35. no longer include cmplall.bat.

    36. 

  36. 

    37. 

  37. CMPLALL.BAT can be used to compile tree with all tested compilers.

    38. 

  38. You MUST edit it and correct the paths to match where the compilers

    39. 

  39. are actually installed before running!  If needed, this file can be

    40. 

  40. looked at for working examples [on my machine] to compile tree.

    41. 

  41. 

    42. 

  42. Other compilers:

    43. 

  43.   If the compiler is similar to one of the above, try compiling with

    44. 

  44.   similar arguments (eg Borland C/C++ 4.0 and 5.0 may work by simply

    45. 

  45.   compiling with the same arguments as BCC 3.1, 4.5, or 5.5).  If your

    46. 

  46.   compiler is compatible but doesn't provide necessary defines you

    47. 

  47.   may need to define __TURBOC__, MICROC, _MSC_VER, etc when you compile.

    48. 

  48.   If your compiler is signicately different, then edit findfile.h

    49. 

  49.   and add in a section for your compiler refering to the other

    50. 

  50.   compilers for examples.  If you have a compiler not listed and it

    51. 

  51.   works or you added the necessary logic to make it work, please

    52. 

  52.   consider sending them to jeremyd@computer.org and specifying that

    53. 

  53.   they are public domain so I can add them to my public domain

    54. 

  54.   findfile.h for all to use.
