Revision: 1.2
Committed: Mon Jun 10 14:10:44 2002 UTC (23 years, 6 months ago) by tdb
Branch: MAIN
CVS Tags: HEAD
Changes since 1.1: +0 -0 lines
State: FILE REMOVED
Log Message: 
Tidy up of files. These are all old things that are not only no longer used
but are also probably useless to anyone other than us. This saves checking
them out all the time, and makes the "cms/source" tree contain only current
stuff. They'll still exist in the attic's though :)

55     ----------------
56     Copyright (C) 1992-1995 Gnanasekaran Swaminathan <gs4t@virginia.edu>
57    
58     Permission is granted to use at your own risk and distribute this software
59     in source and binary forms provided the above copyright
60     notice and this paragraph are preserved on all copies.
61     This software is provided "as is" with no express or implied warranty.
62    
63     Installation Note:
64     -----------------
65     This software has been tested in sun4 and IBM RS6000 machines only.
66     If you are having problems with any aspect of socket++, please
67     email me at gs4t@virginia.edu. We can fix it together.
68    
69     This software works with iostream library. It has been tested with
70     AT&T iostream and libg++ 2.4 (or greater) iostream libraries.
71    
72     If you are using AT&T cfront compatible compiler, you need at least
73     cfront 3.0.
74    
75     If you are using gcc, you must have gcc 2.4.5 and libg++ 2.4
76     or greater versions installed before you can install socket++.
77    
78     socket++.texi needs at least texinfo-2.16.
79    
80     Gcc, libg++, and texinfo are all available for anonymous ftp from
81     prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu
82    
83     cd socket++-1.9
84     configure --prefix="your favorite location"
85     make (if IBM xlC, then make CXX=xlC)
86     cd test
87     make check (if IBM xlC, then make CXX=xlC check)
88    
89     Testing:
90     -------
91     make CXX=g++ check will automatically run testall.
92    
93     You can also manually test as follows:
94     testall > testall.out
95     diff -c testall.out testall.exp
96     If there are any differences, manually check whether
97     testall.out and testall.exp have the same lines but only their
98     order is different. If they have the same lines but
99     for the order, you have installed properly. Otherwise,
100     try to findout what might be the reason and if you couldn't
101     please email me with your problem at gs4t@virginia.edu.
102

153    
154     Mike Christiansen for sending patches for hpux support and
155     memory leaks. He used purify to check for memory leaks.
156    
157     Nanlin Xiao <nxiao@eng.tridom.com> for sending fixes
158     to compile under Objectcenter C++ compiler.
159    
160     Solaris support is still weak, and thus the names
161     of people who helped to port to solaris is not listed
162     here yet.
163
