HOW TO INSTALL ZIP Zip is distributed as C source code that can be compiled on a wide range of Unix machines, VAXes running VMS, and MSDOS machines using Microsoft or Borland C++, and OS/2 machines using Microsoft C. You will need Unzip 5.0 (under Unix, MSDOS, or VMS) or PKUNZIP 1.93a (under MSDOS) to unpack the distribution file, zip19.zip. But since you read this, you have unpacked it already, or you cheated and got a tar.Z file... Let's assume however that you start from scratch and have not yet unpacked the sources. First, unpack the source as follows, assuming that you have zip19.zip in the current directory. mkdir zipsrc cd zipsrc unzip ../zip19 This extracts all source files and documentation in the directory called "zipsrc". If you wish to build a version of zip with encryption capabilities, you must also get the separate package zcrypt19.zip and uncomment the definition of MAKE at the beginning of the makefile. You then do: make system where "system" is one of: bsd, bsdold, sysv, sysv_386, sysv_old, sun, sun_gcc, next, next10, hpux, dnix, cray, 3b1, zilog, aux, convex, aix, minix, isc, dynix, ultrix, dec_osf1 or xos. If you are using a NeXT running version 2.0 or greater, then make next. If you are using 1.0, then make next10. If you are using Sun OS 4.x, then make sun (or sun_gcc if you use gcc). If you are using SVR4 on a 386, use sysv_386 to get the optimized asm code. The other special systems are HPUX, DNIX 5.2 or 5.3, Cray Unicos, AT&T 3B1 (also known as Unix PC or PC 7300), Zilog Zeus, A/UX, Convex, AIX, MINIX, ISC System V/386, Dynix, Ultrix and DEC OSF/1. Otherwise, if you are using BSD Unix, try bsd. If the linker cannot find _memset or _memcpy, try bsdold. If you are using System V Unix or SCO Unix, try sysv or sysv_old. Also use sysv on a Silicon Graphics (SGI) machine. You can also cross-compile Zip for MSDOS under SCO 386 Unix using "make scodos". If you get error messages "constant expected" in deflate.c, add -DDYN_ALLOC to CFLAGS in your makefile entry. If none of these compiles, links, and functions properly on your Unix system, see the file Readme for how to get help. If the appropriate system was selected, then the executables zip, zipnote and zipsplit will be created. You can copy them to an appropriate directory in the search path using: make install The defaults are /usr/local/bin for the executables and /usr/man/man1 for the manual page. Change the macros BINDIR and MANDIR in makefile if appropriate. You can use the command "set" to see the current search path. If you are using the C-Shell (csh), enter the com- mand: rehash so csh can find the new command in the path. You are now ready to use Zip. You can get rid of the now unnecessary source and object files with: cd .. rm -r zipsrc This will remove the directory zip and its contents created by unzip. You should keep the zip19.zip file around though, in case you need to build it again or want to give it to a colleague. The steps for installation under MSDOS, OS/2, and VMS are similar to the above: first unzip the distribution files into their own directory. The system dependant files are stored in special subdirectories. You may have to copy or move them to the main sources directory. Then under MSDOS do one of: make makefile.msc make -fmakefile.bor for Microsoft or Borland C++, respectively. For Turbo C 2.0, use the configuration file tcconfig.tc, the batch file doturboc.bat and the project files zip.prj, zipnote.prj and zipsplit.prj. Make sure to use the compact model. Under OS/2: nmake -f makefile.os2 for Microsoft C 6.00. Under VAX VMS: @make_vaxc or: @make_gcc For command help on any of the zip* utilities, simply enter the name with no arguments.
