Now the question is where do I start? Is there a cookbook someplace
listing the steps one needs to take to do this "porting?" Tutorials?
Recommendations on a good book? Any help pointing me in the right
direction will be greatly appreciated. First step is to get it running
from the terminal; integrating with a Cocoa application comes later.
Thanks all.
Unfortunately, it doesn't use automake/autoconf/libtool-- the port would
then be trivial.Tree is set up for two architectures-- linux and hpux.
On a lark, I tried to port it using the linux architecture-- got to
start somewhere...
The Makefile.config is setup to use gcc and g++. These should be changed
to cc and c++.
The source errors are grouped roughly into three categories
1. Most source files need to include <sys/errno.h>-- otherwise the
compiler complains about errno not being defined.
2. Calls to lockf need to be translated into calls to flock. This is
probably trivial, although I
don't have experience with this
3. A bunch of files include <sys/resources.h> without including
<sys/time.h>-- resulting in errors about timeval being undefined.
You will need the gdbm library form somewhere. Fink has a port. I wasn't
able to resolve
the various linking issues-- my guess is that job is nontrivial.
