"SfR Fresh" - the SfR Freeware/Shareware Archive

Member "mysql-4.0.27/regex/README" of archive mysql-4.0.27-win-src.zip:


As a special service "SfR Fresh" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using source code syntax highlighting with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. That can be also achieved for any archive member file by clicking within an archive contents listing on the first character of the file(path) respectively on the according byte size field.
    1 alpha3.4 release.

    7 installation notes:
    8 --------
    9 Read the comments at the beginning of Makefile before running.
   10 
   11 Utils.h contains some things that just might have to be modified on
   12 some systems, as well as a nested include (ugh) of <assert.h>.
   13 
   14 The "fake" directory contains quick-and-dirty fakes for some header
   15 files and routines that old systems may not have.  Note also that
   16 -DUSEBCOPY will make utils.h substitute bcopy() for memmove().
   17 
   18 After that, "make r" will build regcomp.o, regexec.o, regfree.o,
   19 and regerror.o (the actual routines), bundle them together into a test
   20 program, and run regression tests on them.  No output is good output.
   21 
   22 "make lib" builds just the .o files for the actual routines (when
   23 you're happy with testing and have adjusted CFLAGS for production),
   24 and puts them together into libregex.a.  You can pick up either the
   25 library or *.o ("make lib" makes sure there are no other .o files left
   26 around to confuse things).
   27 
   28 Main.c, debug.c, split.c are used for regression testing but are not part
   29 of the RE routines themselves.
   30 
   31 Regex.h goes in /usr/include.  All other .h files are internal only.
