Hints for Building Par

These are hints. There are no guarantees, and you are encouraged to make alterations according to your own taste. Feel free to suggest additions or modifications to this page.

AmigaOS with SAS/C 6.3

smake -f protoMakefile "CC=sc NOVER NOICON ANSI STRCONS
    PARM R STRICT DEF _STRICT_ANSI CPU ANY OPT DEF DONTFREE CSRC"
    "LINK1=sc LINK NOVER NOICON STRT cres OBJ" "LINK2=PNAME" "RM=delete"
    "JUNK=par.lnk"

(You may want to replace CPU ANY with CPU 68040, or whatever.)

FreeBSD 3.x with the bundled GCC

make -f protoMakefile CC="gcc -c -ansi -pedantic -O
    -DDONTFREE" LINK1="gcc -s"

GNU/Linux

make -f protoMakefile CC="gcc -c -ansi -pedantic -O3
    -DDONTFREE" LINK1="gcc -s"

Irix

I've been told that there is a /usr/sbin/par (process accounting routine), so watch out for conflicts.

NeXTSTEP 3.x with the bundled GCC

make -f protoMakefile CC="cc -c -O2 -DDONTFREE" LINK1="cc
    -s"

OSF/1-Alpha 3.0

make -f protoMakefile CC="cc -c -g0 -O2 -check -DDONTFREE"
    LINK1="cc -s"

RPM-based Linux distributions

Volker Kuhlmann contributed a spec file.

SunOS 4.1.x with GCC

make -f protoMakefile CC="gcc -c -ansi -pedantic -O3
    -DDONTFREE -DEXIT_FAILURE=1 -DEXIT_SUCCESS=0" LINK1="gcc -s"

SunOS 5.x with GCC

make -f protoMakefile CC="gcc -c -ansi -pedantic -O3
    -DDONTFREE" LINK1="gcc -s"

SunOS 5.x with SPARCompiler C

make -f protoMakefile CC="cc -c -Xc -O -DDONTFREE" LINK1="cc
     -s"

Win32 with Visual C

I'm told that you need to add

#include
    <malloc.h>

to reformat.c. If that's true, the compiler does not conform to the ANSI C standard.

George V. Reilly contributed a makefile.
