Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU grep 2.11 uploaded.
Date:	Sun, 8 Apr 2012 04:33:57 +0200

This is a port of GNU grep 2.11 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  DJGPP specific changes are those required to implement colorization support
  for this port.  If grep is called with the command line option --color and
  the output is directed to the screen then the default colors will be used
  to mark matches, file names and line numbers.  If the output does not go to
  the screen then colorization is automatically suppressed.  Read the docs to
  learn how to control the color using the environment variable GREP_COLORS.
  As usual all changes are documented in the diffs file that is stored in the
  /djgpp directory.

  Please note that to run the test suite produced with autoconf 2.64 and later
  you must install mktmp17b or later.  Because the test suite also tries to test
  multibyte patterns but multibyte strings are not fully supported by DJGPP
  some tests will be skipped or fail.  The yesno test is known to fail, so
  please do not report it.

  Please also note that there is a function name clash between gnulib's and
  grep's gettext wrapper and djgpp's old BORLAND  compatibility gettext
  function declared in conio.h.  This issue has been solved in djdev204.
  To solve the problem for djdev203,  I provide the patch /djgpp/conio.patch
  that will change djdev203's conio.h accordingly to djdev204 conio.h.  After
  this change the name clash will be solved in the same way as it has been
  solved for djdev204.  The patch only concerns this name clash.

  This port has been configured with perl-regexp (pcre) support enabled.
  This means that you will have to install pcre libray available as:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/pcre830b.zip
  or
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/pcre830b.zip
  if you decide to compile the sources.  If you prefer to disable the pcre
  support you will have to reconfigure and recompile the suorces again, but
  this time passing the "no-pcre" command line option to config.bat.
  The grep211b.zip file contains both versions of the grep program, the one
  build without perl-regexp support have the usual name and the one compiled
  with perl-regexp support is called greppcre.exe.  You can install both
  versions or keep the one you prefer and delete the other one.

  This port has no wide character/multi byte support at all.

  To build this port and run the testsuite you will need LFN support.
  Please note that the testsuite also runs a lot of gnulib tests that will all
  fail.  I have no intension to fix them.

  The source package is now distributed configured for both DJGPP 2.03 and
  DJGPP 2.04.  In the top srcdir there is a "_build.203" directory and a
  "_build.204" directory.

  For further information about GNU grep please read the info docs and NEWS file.



  The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists
  of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and
  mirrors as (timestamp 2012-04-07):

  The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
  djdev204 beta library.  This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and
  mirrors as (timestamp 2012-04-07):
