IMPORTANT NOTE:
|
|
|
|
This is Berkeley-DB. A plug in replacement to dbm/ndbm with
|
|
many improvements and enhancements.
|
|
|
|
DB is freeware (berkeley copyright) that is maintained _outside_
|
|
SGI. All I do here is build it on SGI, test it, and patch as
|
|
necessary to make sure it works.
|
|
|
|
In order to avoid the repetitive and hopeless work of:
|
|
|
|
1) Re-applying SGI specific patches to the berkeley
|
|
source distribution
|
|
|
|
2) Re-reorganizing the libdb source tree to match SGI
|
|
source tree (separate lib/man/header hierarchies)
|
|
|
|
3) Re-writing the libdb Makefiles to fit SGI Makefile
|
|
conventions
|
|
|
|
Whenever this software is updated/enhanced by its maintainers,
|
|
|
|
I prefer to:
|
|
|
|
1) Stray from the IRIX source tree structure and Makefile
|
|
conventions and leave the DB distribution tree as intact
|
|
as possible.
|
|
|
|
2) mail all local SGI patches are back to the maintainers
|
|
so they can be merged into the original distribution.
|
|
|
|
3) Do all the SGI specific build stuff in the parent
|
|
directory libdb and its Makefile. It does all:
|
|
libs, headers, and man pages.
|
|
|
|
The package includes 5 man pages, a header file, and a library
|
|
(libdb.so) that is built o32, n32, and 64. See the Makefile
|
|
in this directory for details.
|
|
|
|
The IRIX port directory is automatically created as "PORT/irix"
|
|
which is a tlink'ed duplicate tree of the originally distributed
|
|
directory PORT/irix.5.2 (renaming was done to avoid confusion
|
|
and to avoid the endless revision names syndrome)
