This is a trivial C99 application. The meat of this project is the Makefile and packaging setup.
- GNU Make (I used 4.2, but 3.81 should probably work too)
- MipsPro C99 (I used 7.4.4m, but this should compile on any C99
- Irix 6.5.22 (this is what I developed on. I am not sure what the packaging differences are for earlier Irix)
- GNU Groff (I used the ancient one included in the SGI Freeware CDs)
You may need to edit the Makefile to define where the various tools are.
See Makefile for more disscussion.
The stree.spec file is the "metadata" for the package and the stree.idb file lists which files need to be packaged from the build, where they will go in the final system and ownerships and permissions.
The spec file builds two subsystems of the main package, the documentation and the binary part. Both are set to be default installs and none of the files are marked for rqsall(1).
Important note: you will need to increment both version numbers
in the spec file if you build a new version and want to inst(1M)
it over an existing install. These version values have nothing
to do with the VERSION in the Makefile (the human readable
version), rather they are used internally by the system to decide
when to update a package. It will need to incremented by one
every time you go through the cycle of package build then inst(1M).
On Irix itself, you can use swpkg(1M) to open both files and use a GUI to modify parameters. Otherwise the formats are described in gendist(1M).
After you have built the tardist you can install with inst(1M) or Software Manager. For inst(1M)
su -
inst -a -f stree-1.0.0.tardist
The code itself is a trivial application that builds a recursive, indented list of all files under the current working directory.
