Hi all,

I am currently in the process of finishing off a Rhide 1.6 alpha build which
is built with the following:-
    - TV 2.01
    - Setedit CVS get
    - Rhide 1.6 alpha source tarball from Andris
    - GDB 5.3
    - DJGPP CVS LIBC

The resulting Rhide 1.6 will include bugs and the severity is unknown.  In
order to reduce the bugs I would like to see if anyone would like to test
the exe that I have built. This one so far crashes less on XP than the 1.5.0
snapshot did, but I have only tested if for about 1 hour so far.

If you would like to try it please send me an email instead of cluttering up
the mailing list.

Here are the instructions and process that I went through in order to build
Rhide:-

HOW TO BUILD RHIDE
==================
Please note that these instructions may change as the source code changes.
These
instructions were correct as at 31-Jan-2003.

Code needed:
1) Download TV 2.01 RC2 zip for DJGPP
2) Get lastest Rhide 1.6 code tarball send email to get address
3) Get lastest Seteditor CVS code
4) GDB 5.3 Sources
5) Allegro 4.1.x or 4.03
5) Other DJGPP 2.04 packages at clio

Process:
=========
1) Unzip the TV 2.01 zip
2) set the following environment variables:-
 set DJGPP_ROOT=D:\DJ204
 set HOME=%DJGPP_ROOT%
 set RHIDESRC=%DJGPP_ROOT%\CONTRIB\RHIDE
 set GDB_SRC=%DJGPP_ROOT%\GNU\GDB-5.3
 set GDB_OBJ=%DJGPP_ROOT%\GNU\GDB-5.3
 set SETSRC=%DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\setedit
 set SETOBJ=%DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\setedit\makes
 set TVSRC=%DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\tvision
 set TVOBJ=%DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\tvision\djgpp
 set TV_INC=%DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\tvision\include
3) Add the folling define for DJGPP (approx line 46)
  #define NEEDS_REGEX
4)  Build Tvision as follows:-

 cd %DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\tvision
 make clean
 sh configure
 make
 make install
5) Build setedit as follows:-
 a) remove references to winoldap.o & winoldap.h in makes\libset.mak
 b) in seteditor bufrun.cc remove refereces to SearchPHPFuncs
 c) perform the following:-

 cd %DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\setedit
 attrib -a -r *.* /s
 rm ...\rh*.env
 if not exist makefile goto seteditconfig
 if not exist makefile goto seteditconfig
 :seteditmake
 rm ...\*.a
 rm ...\*.o
 rm ...\*.o
 make clean
 :seteditconfig
 configure
 make
 cd internac
 make
 cd %DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\setedit
 make
 make install
 make clean
 configure --libset
 make
 make install

5) To build rhide try the following:-
 a) edit configure to change GDB version from 5.1 to 5.3
 b) cd %DJGPP_ROOT%\contrib\rhide-1.5
 d) sh configure
 d) change all relative paths in config.env to absolute paths
 e) In config.env change the following line
   export SET_LIBS=pcre bz2 z easyd settv rhtv
  to
   export SET_LIBS=pcre bz2 z easyd settv rhtv m
  (add m at the end to link in libm.a)
 f) In idemain.cc :-
     1) remove all references to slow_screen
     2) Change references to use_mouse_handler to only be applicable for
      TV 1.x series and DJGPP
     3) update the rhide startup options "rhide -help"


 g) Fudge modify regs.c to
  i) add the following lines:-
   #if __DJGPP__
   /* This is needed for GDB 5.3 */
   extern char const *i386_register_name (int reg);
   extern signed char *register_valid;
   extern signed char *register_valid;
   extern char *registers;
   int inferior_pid;

   /*
   gnu\gdb-5.3\gdb\regcache.h:extern signed char *register_valid;
   */
   #endif
  ii) change is_float_reg(int num) to always return a number.
    This is the bigest fudge and is expected to cause problems
     in the debugger!!!!

 j) run the following commands :-
  make needed
        make
    k) open the following gpr files and in the project menu select clear
dependencies:-
      gpr2mak.gpr
      gprexp.gpr
