INTRODUCTION

============

  This copy of the GNU text utilities version 1.22 has been compiled 

using the patch, which is written by Kai Uwe Rommel <rommel@ars.de>, 

for the version 1.19. 



   When I applied the patch to this version, only minor changes were needed. 





  Precompiled executables are:



       cat.exe       expand.exe    md5sum.exe    sort.exe      tr.exe

       cksum.exe     fmt.exe       nl.exe        split.exe     unexpand.exe

       comm.exe      fold.exe      od.exe        sum.exe       uniq.exe

       csplit.exe    head.exe      paste.exe     tac.exe       wc.exe

       cut.exe       join.exe      pr.exe        tail.exe





COMPILATION ENVIRONMENT

=======================



   OS/2 version 4

   gcc version 2.8.1

   emx 0.9d with fix02





REQUIRED RESOURCES

==================



  emx runtime version 0.9d

       ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/emx/v0.9d/emxrt.zip

       ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/emx+gcc/emxrt.zip







MODIFICATIONS FOR JAPANESE USERS

================================



1) Linked with `intl' library of GNU gettext version 0.10.35 modified to

   accept Japanese EUC or Shift JIS code





2) Message file for Japanese Shift JIS is added







INSTALLATION

============



1. Copy executables and DLLs

  

       \> unzip tutil122.zip

       \> cd textutils-1.22

       textutils-1.22\> copy bin\*.exe SOMEWHERE_IN_PATH_DIRECTORY

       textutils-1.22\> copy dll\*.dll SOMEWHERE_IN_LIBPATH_DIRECTORY

    



2. Install message files and edit `config.sys'



    If you'd like to install them in `g:\emx', do like this.

    

        textutils-1.22\> mkdir g:\emx\share

        textutils-1.22\> mkdir g:\emx\share\locale

        textutils-1.22\> xcopy /s share\locale\* g:\emx\share\locale

      

    Now you MUST set environmental variable `GNULOCALEDIR' in your

    `config.sys'. 





         set GNULOCALEDIR=g:/emx/share/locale



                          Do not use `\' for `GNULOCALEDIR'. 





    Next, specify an environmental variable `LANGUAGE'.



         To know what kind of languages are prepared for this copy of GNU 

         file utilities, do like this;



            textutils-1.22\> dir /s g:\emx\share\locale\fileutils.mo

         

         You will see 7 MO files are installed; de, es, fr, .....





                           de : German

                           es : Spanish

                           fr : French

                           ja : Japanese (SJIS)

                           ko : Korean

                           nl : Dutch

                           pl : Polish



         

         Add a line in your `config.sys'





                set LANGUAGE=??



         

                           "??" represents an abbreviation of the language 



                           



       Good way to test many kinds of language is to use one of GNU text 

       utilities `env.exe'. 



           \> env LANGUAGE=de cp --help

           \> env LANGUAGE=ja cp --help

           \> env LANGUAGE=fr cp --help

         



    Befor reboot your machine, test programs in command line. 

                  (Be sure that *.exe and *.dll has been installed)

    

        textutils-1.22\> set GNULOCALEDIR=g:/emx/share/locale

        textutils-1.22\> set LANGUAGE=fr

        textutils-1.22\> cp [--help]

        

                       You will see French messages

        

        textutils-1.22\> set LANGUAGE=de

        textutils-1.22\> cp [--help]

    

                       Now German messages will appear



  After you completed editing `config.sys', reboot your machine. 







DOCUMENTATIONS

==============



  MUST-READ manual is `fileutils.info' and README in `textutils-1.22\doc'. 



       If you do not have installed Texinfo for Info mannual, sh-utils.info, 

       the newest version can be get from my web page. 

  











MAKE FROM SOURCE

================

  

  OS/2 ported Unix like shell is required.

    

      ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/shells/pdksh-5.2.13-emx.zip



  Obtain a source package `textutils-1.22.tar.gz'. 

        

     ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/ or its mirror sites

     CDROM: Recent Linux or FreeBSD distribution which contains it. 



  OS/2 patch is in `textutils-1.22\os2_patch'



         textutils-1.22-OS2.diff.gz: OS/2 patch





  Untar and patch

  

      \> tar zxvf textutils-1.22.tar.gz

      \> cd textutils-1.22

      textutils-1.22\> attrib /s -r *  (or chmod +rw -R *)

      textutils-1.22\> gzip -dc  SOMEWHERE/textutils-1.22-OS2.diff.gz | patch -p1



  Setup Unix-like shell `sh.exe' (of pdksh)



      textutils-1.22\> mkdir \bin

      textutils-1.22\> copy SOMEWHERE\sh.exe \bin





      textutils-1.22\> make





  About two kind of `intl' library 



       intl_d.dll, intl_d.a intl_d.lib ; for '-Zmt[d]' option of gcc. 

       intl_s.dll, intl_s.a intl_s.lib ; for without '-Zmt[d]' option of gcc. 



     If you make a executable with "gcc -Zmtd ..." and link `intl_s.a' or 

   `intl_s.lib', compilation error do not occur.  But national language 

   support is not available for the program. 





That' all. 







Comments, suggestions, or requests are always wellcome.



Happy computing life with OS/2!!
