The DEC +SRC release of Modula-3 comes in the form of 3 compressed tar files +totaling about 16 MB. A small fraction of that is actually needed. + +The FreeBSD distfiles are as follows. + + m3-fbsd-src-3.6.tar.gz (required) + + Sources for selected portions of the SRC release. These + files are unmodified; however, only a subset is included. + Files relating to platforms other than FreeBSD have been + omitted. Also, several large but rarely-used packages have + been left out. + + m3-fbsd-m3cc-3.6.tar.gz (required) + + Sources for the Modula-3 specific files making up the code + generator. As released by SRC, the code generator is a + slightly modified version of gcc-2.6.3. I have updated + the modifications to work with the newer gcc-2.7.2.1. Only + the files which differ from those in the FreeBSD gcc-2.7.2.1 + sources are included in this distfile. + + m3-fbsd-gcc-3.6.tar.gz (optional) + + Sources for the needed portions of gcc-2.7.2.1 which are + identical to those included in the FreeBSD system sources. + Many systems have these files online in "/usr/src/contrib/gcc". + The Makefile looks for them there first, and uses the online + files if they are present. Only if the necessary files + are missing is this distfile fetched and used. + + m3-fbsd-boot-3.6.tar.gz (optional) + + A statically-linked FreeBSD executable for the Modula-3 + compiler. A working compiler is needed, because the compiler + is itself written in Modula-3. The Makefile looks for this + executable on the system; it may already be present from + an earlier version of the port. If found, the version + already on the system is used. Otherwise, this distfile + is fetched and used. + +Also in the current directory are files named "T.*" and "X.*". These +contain lists of files and wildcards specifying the files to be included +and excluded from each distfile. For example, "m3-fbsd-src-3.6.tar.gz" +can be reconstructed using the following commands: + + make extract + cd work + tar -czvf m3-fbsd-src-3.6.tar.gz -T ../files/T.src -X ../files/X.src + +John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com> |
