Message-Id: <201106241630.p5OGUFlx014695@delorie.com> From: Juan Manuel Guerrero To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU grep 2.9 uploaded. Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:15:08 +0200 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Disposition: inline This is a port of GNU grep 2.9 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/pcre812b.zip or ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/pcre812b.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 grep29b.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. 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. 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 2011-06-23): grep 2.9 binaries, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/grep29b.zip grep 2.9 dvi, html, pdf and ps format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/grep29d.zip grep 2.9 source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/grep29s.zip 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 2011-06-23): grep 2.9 binaries, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/grep29b.zip Send grep specific bug reports to .
