| 3 | GNU make can utilize the Customs library, distributed with Pmake, to
|
|---|
| 4 | provide builds distributed across multiple hosts.
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | In order to utilize this capability, you must first download and build
|
|---|
| 7 | the Customs library. It is contained in the Pmake distribution, which
|
|---|
| 8 | can be obtained at:
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | ftp://ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu/pub/ai/stolcke/software/
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | This integration was tested (superficially) with Pmake 2.1.33.

| 15 | BUILDING CUSTOMS
|
|---|
| 16 | ----------------
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | First, build pmake and Customs. You need to build pmake first, because
|
|---|
| 19 | Customs require pmake to build. Unfortunately, this is not trivial;
|
|---|
| 20 | please see the pmake and Customs documentation for details. The best
|
|---|
| 21 | place to look for instructions is in the pmake-2.1.33/INSTALL file.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | Note that the 2.1.33 Pmake distribution comes with a set of patches to
|
|---|
| 24 | GNU make, distributed in the pmake-2.1.33/etc/gnumake/ directory. These
|
|---|
| 25 | patches are based on GNU make 3.75 (there are patches for earlier
|
|---|
| 26 | versions of GNU make, also). The parts of this patchfile which relate
|
|---|
| 27 | directly to Customs support have already been incorporated into this
|
|---|
| 28 | version of GNU make, so you should _NOT_ apply the patch file.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | However, there are a few non-Customs specific (as far as I could tell)
|
|---|
| 31 | changes here which are not incorporated (for example, the modification
|
|---|
| 32 | to try expanding -lfoo to libfoo.so). If you rely on these changes
|
|---|
| 33 | you'll need to re-apply them by hand.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | Install the Customs library and header files according to the
|
|---|
| 36 | documentation. You should also install the man pages (contrary to
|
|---|
| 37 | comments in the documentation, they weren't installed automatically for
|
|---|
| 38 | me; I had to cd to the 'pmake-2.1.33/doc' directory and run 'pmake
|
|---|
| 39 | install' there directly).

|
|---|
| 42 | BUILDING GNU MAKE
|
|---|
| 43 | -----------------
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | Once you've installed Customs, you can build GNU make to use it. When
|
|---|
| 46 | configuring GNU make, merely use the '--with-customs=DIR' option.
|
|---|
| 47 | Provide the directory containing the 'lib' and 'include/customs'
|
|---|
| 48 | subdirectories as DIR. For example, if you installed the customs
|
|---|
| 49 | library in /usr/local/lib and the headers in /usr/local/include/customs,
|
|---|
| 50 | then you'd pass '--with-customs=/usr/local' as an option to configure.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | Run make (or use build.sh) normally to build GNU make as described in
|
|---|
| 53 | the INSTALL file.
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | See the documentation for Customs for information on starting and
|
|---|
| 56 | configuring Customs.

| 59 | INVOKING CUSTOMS-IZED GNU MAKE
|
|---|
| 60 | -----------------------------
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | One thing you should be aware of is that the default build environment
|
|---|
| 63 | for Customs requires root permissions. Practically, this means that GNU
|
|---|
| 64 | make must be installed setuid root to use Customs.
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | If you don't want to do this, you can build Customs such that root
|
|---|
| 67 | permissions are not necessary. Andreas Stolcke <stolcke@speech.sri.com>

| 81 | PROBLEMS
|
|---|
| 82 | --------
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | SunOS 4.1.x:
|
|---|
| 85 | The customs/sprite.h header file #includes the <malloc.h> header
|
|---|
| 86 | files; this conflicts with GNU make's configuration so you'll get a
|
|---|
| 87 | compile error if you use GCC (or any other ANSI-capable C compiler).
|
|---|
| 88 |
|
|---|
| 89 | I commented out the #include in sprite.h:107:
|
|---|
| 90 |
|
|---|
| 91 | #if defined(sun) || defined(ultrix) || defined(hpux) || defined(sgi)
|
|---|
| 92 | /* #include <malloc.h> */
|
|---|
| 93 | #else
|
|---|
| 94 |
|
|---|
| 95 | YMMV.
