Re: [Freedos-user] Ré : djgpp bash and autoconf for dos, new gcc

The file format used by packages is described at:

http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Package



The packages are mostly developed at:

https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS



But when you download them as zip from Gitlab, they are not in a format 
described in the Package link given.

That's where the perl script I am writing is supposed to help translate the zip 
downloaded from Gitlab to a package understood by FreeDOS.

I did not publish it yet... but expect to publish something in next 24h.



I am not sure... but I would guess fdimples... use the command line fdnpkg:

http://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net/

I think when launched without parameters, it give help... or then with /? ... I 
don't clearly remember.___

Hello Paul,

I'd like to know more about the packaging system. It seems very 
interesting, and useful.
What paths does it use? Does it create bat files? Does it have online 
repositories?
Something like apt, pacman, yum to install/remove packages would be very 
handy, combined with online repos.
I know about fdimples and I like it very much but it's GUI only AFAIK 
and only works with a small set of packages from the livecd iso.

I am unsure if autoconf, and automake are used enough to justify 
having packages for them too.

For people wanting to understand how it works, I like the diagram on:
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/autotools/index.html

Like they show in the diagram... most project will have already made 
configure script and Makefile.in.
So that it mostly usefull for people doing projects to be used on Unix 
like OS.
So I tend to think it is not necessary to have autoconf and automake 
packages for FreeDOS.


But I do not totally exclude the idea.

Still working on a Perl script to generate FreeDOS packages from zip 
files dowloaded from Gitlab FreeDOS's projects.
