v. 1.2 and W95: installation story

[Pietro Terna]

        Hi all,

        here you find my (successful) installation story of Swarm 1.2 under
Windows 95.

        Pietro

---

I had Swarm 1.1 InstallShield for W95 in place.

I kept swarm.c from Santa Fe needed sw dir, changing the line
#define VERSION "1.1"
to
#define VERSION "1.2"
and compiling - e.g. within the Swarm shell - with
gcc -o swarm swarm.c

then 

I exit from the shell and rerun it (swarm.exe) to have a correct setting to
SWARMHOME

I made a copy of Cygnus sh.exe in
c:\bin

I've built the script file (naming it 'conf' and placing it in Swarm dir)

#! /bin/sh
./configure --prefix=/Swarm/swarm-1.2
--with-tclobjcdir=/Swarm/packages/tclobjc
--with-bltdir=/Swarm/packages/blt8.0-unoff --with-bltlibname=BLT80
--with-ffidir=/Swarm/packages/libffi
--with-zlibincludedir=/packages/development/zlib/include
--with-zlibdir=/packages/development/zlib
--with-pngincludedir=/packages/graphics/png/include
--with-pngdir=/packages/graphics/png

---

the --with setting can change, e.g. the position of my zlib and png dir is
related to the use of a snapshot version after 1.1; anyway, they are in
Santa Fe needed sw dir

further steps:

running (within the Swarm.exe shell)

conf (my script file)

then

make -C swarm-1.2
make -C swarm-1.2 install (or: cd swarm-1.2 / make install)

this gives the following error (and Makefile.appl and Makefile.lib are
deleted)
---
the error:
Making install in m4
/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/install -c Makefile.appl Makefile.lib
/Swarm/swarm-1.2/
/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/install: Makefile.appl: No such file or
directory
/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/install: Makefile.lib: No such file or
directory

make: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
------

to avoid this problem, before running make install, I made a copy of the
two Makefile and then I've replaced them in swarm-1.2 dir (this my be a bad
trick, but it runs).

        THE END
