Message-Id: <200210281851.g9SIpAl29129@delorie.com> From: "Juan Manuel Guerrero" Organization: Darmstadt University of Technology To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2002 19:14:11 +0100 Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU gdbm 1.8.3 uploaded X-MailScanner: Found to be clean Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is a DJGPP port of GNU gdbm 1.8.3. The most important user visible change between this port and the previous one is that the dbm and ndbm specific functions have been moved into a separate library. This means that there are two libraries now: - libgdbm.a containing all gdbm specific functions and - libgdbm_compat.a containing all dbm specific functions If you need to compile and application using the old unix dbm functions you will have to use a command like this: gcc application.c -lgdbm_compat -lgdbm Now you will have access to the dbm compatibility functions. Please note, that these compatibility functions are mapped to the equivalent gdbm functions so you must link both libraries in the order shown in the example above. Both libraries have been compiled with stock djdev203 so there is no file locking functionality available. The binaries, docs and source packages can be downloaded from Simtel.NET and mirrors as: Gdbm 1.8.3 binary, info and man format documentation: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdbm183b.zip&name=gdbm183b.zip Gdbm 1.8.3 dvi, html and ps format documentation: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdbm183d.zip&name=gdbm183d.zip Gdbm 1.8.3 source: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdbm183s.zip&name=gdbm183s.zip Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or and cc them to me. Bug reports concerning gdbm must be send . Enjoy Guerrero, Juan Manuel
