LiDIA is built using the Unix command make. For OS/2 you can use GNUmake or DMake 4.0, which can be obtained from the same places where you obtained gzip and tar from.
On OS/2 -- systems use
d:
cdLiDIA
instead.
This will run the steps E.0 - E.2. On OS/2 -- systems type in make os2
instead.
make leads to the compilation of the library sources, while make appl compiles these sources and moreover the example programs which have the form ..._appl.c. If the library is already compiled and you use make appl, only the example programs will be compiled.
The architectures for which we give assembly support are at the moment
sparc7, sparc8, mips, i386, i486, i586
Moreover, LiDIA
has been succesfully compiled on
alpha, hp9000/7xx, rs6000 and OS/2 systems
