I have *not* modified any of the `C' sources provided +by Tor; nor have I changed the naming conventions he adopted for +generated distributables. I *have*:-- + +1) Replaced Tor's original `Makefile' with an autoconf generated + configure script, and a backwardly compatible `Makefile.in'; + this provides a more flexible build procedure, which I find + more convenient, when cross-compiling on a GNU/Linux host. + +2) Added VPATH support, for `out of tree' builds. + +3) Adapted the build procedure, to avoid a dependency on the `lib' + program from Microsoft's MSVC tool chain. This is achieved by + providing an option to configure, which is disabled by default; + it may by activated by specifying `--enable-msvc-implib' on the + configure command line. If this option is not activated, or if + the MSVC `lib' tool is not present, the Makefile is configured + without binding the rule for building an MSVC compatible import + library, to the default target, (although the rule is left in + place for explicit use). + + If the `--enable-msvc-implib' option is specified, but `lib' is + not present, then configure will issue a warning message, and + will again configure the Makefile without binding this rule to + the default target. + + Only if the `--enable-msvc-implib' option is specified, *and* + the `lib' tool is present, will building of an MSVC compatible + import library be configured as a default deliverable. + +4) Added `install', `install-dll' and `install-dev' targets, to + support direct installation of the DLL, and its associated + development kit. + +5) Changed the default packaging format for distributables, from + Tor's exclusive choice of `zip', to my own preferred `tar.gz'; + `zip' format remains available, as an option, by configuring + with `--enable-dist=zip'. + +6) Added `bindist', `devdist' and `srcdist' targets, for greater + flexibility in building distribution kits. + +The original text of Tor's README file will be found below. + +--Keith Marshall + +I call the DLL libgnurx-0.dll which hopefully should be unique. At +least it isn't "regex.dll" which has been used by the +gnuwin32.sourceforge.net site for *two* incompatible DLLs. (That mess, +and the mess with their build of Henry Spencer's regex library, was +what lead me to build my own GNU regex library. See the +gnuwin32-users mailing list archives from December 2006.) + +The "-0" is so that if at some point I build a release that isn't +binary compatible, I can then increment that and use a different name. + +The import library for gcc is called libgnurx.dll.a, but I also +distribute a copy of it called libregex.a so that configure scripts +that look for -lregex will work. + +Note that none of the wide-character and i18n functionality which is +built when this is part of glibc gets compiled. Thus things like +character classes most probably work only for single-byte codepages. + +Compiling that stuff would drag in lots of glibc's locale handling +stuff which is completely incompatible with Microsoft's C library's +locale handling anyway. Also, I am not sure whether the GNU regex code +is prepared to handle a two-byte wchar_t, or does it assume that +wchar_t is int as it is on Linux? Hmm, actually there is lots of +sizeof(wchar_t) in glibc, so maybe it *is* prepared? Maybe +later... But anyway, it would presumably mean we should have not just +the regex functionality but a larger subset of glibc that would +include all locale, ctype, wchar, mbs, etc stuff, presumably ending up +with a very large part of glibc (not the system calls, +obviously). Indeed, something to save for later, or never... + +--Tor Lillqvist , -- cgit v1.2.3
