HINT: |

| 21 |
The first thing to do is download |
|---|
| 22 |
http://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/bmake.tar.gz which is the source |
|---|
| 23 |
tarball for bmake itself, and |
|---|
| 24 |
http://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/mk.tar.gz which contains the makefiles |
|---|
| 25 |
that bmake needs. (They contain various system rules and so forth.) |
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 |
You'll need to become root in order to do this, since files need to be |
|---|
| 28 |
installed to /usr/share and a few other places. |
|---|
| 29 |
When you've downloaded bmake, unpack it and cd into the bmake directory. |
|---|
| 30 |
Bmake needs a seperate OS-specific build directory, so we'll make one of |
|---|
| 31 |
those as well. |
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 |
tar zxvf bmake.tar.gz |
|---|
| 34 |
mkdir -p bmake/Linux |
|---|
| 35 |
cp mk.tar.gz bmake/Linux |
|---|
| 36 |
cd bmake/Linux |
|---|
| 37 |
tar zxvf mk.tar.gz |
|---|
| 38 |
../bmake/configure --prefix=/usr |
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 |
Now let's compile it:- |
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 |
PATH=$PWD:$PATH make -f makefile.boot bootstrap MKSRC=mk |
|---|
| 43 |
make -f makefile.boot install |
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 |
We need the first line because bmake does a test at the end of |
|---|
| 46 |
bootstrapping, for which it |
|---|
| 47 |
needs to be in the PATH in order to pass. |
|---|
| 48 |
One last thing we need to do is make sure the Linux.sys.mk file is in |
|---|
| 49 |
place as bmake's |
|---|
| 50 |
sys.mk, as bmake needs this in order to function. |
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 |
cd mk |
|---|
| 53 |
cp Linux.sys.mk /usr/share/sys.mk |
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 |
You can test this by reinstalling bmake using bmake itself, in order to |
|---|
| 56 |
be sure that sys.mk is in place and everything works. |
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 |
bmake install |
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 |
It should now be working. |
