Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU grep 2.7 uploaded.
Date:	Sun, 3 Oct 2010 01:57:07 +0200

This is a port of GNU grep 2.7 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 mktmp16b 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/pcre810b.zip
  or
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/pcre810b.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.

  To build this port and run the testsuite you will need LFN support.  If you
  use djdev204 you will have to adjust your /dev/env/DJDIR/include/time.h.
  The _rdtsc declaration and definition both needs static as qualifier and
  the extern qualifier removed from the declaration.

  From the 29 testcases 1 will fail and 11 will be skipped.  yesno testcase as
  usual fails and the 11 skipped are those multi bytes testcases that require
  UTF-8 locale.  If you compile the sources without pcre support 2 more testcases
  (pcre and pcre-z) will be skipped.


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



  The port consists of the usual three packages that have been compiled
  using stock djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
  and mirrors as (time stamp 2010-10-03):
