This directory and its subdirectories contain the files necessary for making ex/vi in the BTL UNIX environment: This is a list of all the important directories and what's hidden under each. misc - contains files used in the "make" of ex/vi { mkstr.c, xstr.c ...} vax - ex/vi source directory for the vax, 3B, C70, 370, & pdp 11/70 (UNIX type=ov -- with overlays) pdp11 - ex/vi source directory for the pdp11/70 (UNIX type=od without overlays) local - contains "uparm.h" which must be edited to reflect your system setup! EXAMPLE: -------- #define libpath(file) "/usr/lib/file" #define loclibpath(file) "/usr/lib/file" #define binpath(file) "/usr/lbin/file" #define usrpath(file) "/usr/file" #define E_TERMCAP "/etc/termcap" #define B_CSH "/bin/sh" ** libpath is where ex/vi expects the strings file (ex2.15strings or ex3.7strings...this file is made as the ex/vi source is compiled), and ex/vi 's recover & preserve commands (ex2.15preserve or ex3.7preserve...and ex2.11recover or ex3.7recover). ** usrpath is where the preserved files are held after a hangup or crash..."preserve" is tacked onto the end of the usrpath string . termcap.db - contains files to make/install termcap (the terminal database) termlib - contains files to make/install termlib.a (an archive used in the loading of the objects for ex/vi) note: termlib source includes the local/uparm.h file. lib - the old ms macro package is present for all the documents doc - contains all ex/vi documentation doc/man - man source pages for ex, vi, mkstr, fold, xstr, termcap, etc. Look through the source, make all necessary changes to local/uparm.h (& ex source if necessary) and then do a "makevi". makevi is a shell which directs you through a "make" of ex/vi. PATHs to look at (and possibly change) include: vax/makefile.u3 ---| pdp11/makefile.u3 ---| the editor's string file, preserve and recover commands all are installed in ${DESTDIR}${LIBDIR}....make sure this is where you want them to go. This path must be the same as the path defined in local/uparm.h ...c variable name is usrpath. termlib/makefile ---| the path "/usr/lib/libtermlib.a" (also known as libtermcap.a) is defined here. In the event of a hangup, the editor will place a copy of the temporary file in the place defined ${DESTDIR}/usr/preserve. The editor will be installed in ${HOME1}. 5/07/82 HOCC UNIX Support Jim Seagraves (houxi!beau) Afternote: The 70 and vax code has been working for over a week on th HOCC machines. Let me know if any problems arise. Also, please forward any new and wonderful termcap descriptions.
