This is a port of GNU libunistring 0.9.10 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and
  for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.




1.:     DJGPP specific changes.
        =======================

        There are no user visible DJGPP specific changes to the sources.
        The posix specific library relocation support that has been completely
        disabled by me because it makes no sense on DOS/DJGPP.

        Due to various new issues DXE3 modules will not be provided.


        This version of the port has been compiled using gcc346 and bnu232b.

        As usual, all djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, README files,
        etc.) are stored in the djgpp directory.

        For further information about GNU libunistring please read the info docs
        and NEWS file.


2.:     Installing the binary package.
        ==============================

2.1.:   Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation directory,
        just unzip it preserving the directory structure running *ONE* of the
        following commands:
          unzip32 lus0910b.zip      or
          djtarx lus0910b.zip       or
          pkunzip -d lus0910b.zip

2.2.:   If there is no entry for the libunistring info docs in your dir file, located
        info directory, create one running the command:
          install-info --info-dir=/dev/env/DJDIR/info /dev/env/DJDIR/info/libunistring.info


3.:     Building the binaries from sources.
        ===================================

3.1.:   Create a temporary directory and copy the source package into the
        directory.  If you download the source distribution from one of the
        DJGPP sites, just unzip it preserving the directory structure
        running *ONE* of the following commands:
          unzip32 lus0910s.zip      or
          djtarx lus0910s.zip       or
          pkunzip -d lus0910s.zip

3.2.:   To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages:
          djdev205.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          bsh205bbr3.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          gccNNNb.zip, gppNNN.zip, bnuNNNb.zip, makNNNb.zip, filNNNb.zip,
          shlNNNb.zip, txtNNNb.zip, txiNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip, sedNNNb.zip,
          pcreNNNb.zip, mktmpNNb.zip, gwkNNNb.zip and licvNNNb.zip

        If you want to run the check you will need also:
          difNNNb.zip and mktmpNNNb.zip

        NNN represents the latest version number of the binary packages.  All
        this packages can be found in the /v2gnu directory of any
        ftp.delorie.com mirror.
        You will need bsh205bbr3.zip or later and *NOT* a prior version or
        the build will fail.  The same applies to djdev205.zip.

3.3.:   The package has been configured to be build in a separate build directory
        under the top srcdir (aka luns-0.9.10).  To build the binaries cd
        into /_build directory.  If for some reason you want to reconfigure the
        package cd into the build directory and run the following commands:
          del config.cache
          make clean
          ..\djgpp\config ./..

        Please note that you *MUST* delete the config.cache file in the _build
        directory or you will not really reconfigure the sources because the
        configuration informations will be read from the cache file instead
        of being newly computed.

        config.bat, among other things, will start the configure script passing
        to it a couple of arguments.  You can control these argument passing the
        following command line arguments to config.bat:
          nls or no-nls, default nls.  NLS support enabled.
          cache or no-cache, default cache.  Cache in build directory.
          dep or no-dep, default no-dep.  No dependency tracking.
          silent or no-silent, default silent.  Controls the verbosity of the
                                                build process.
        All other configure specific options are not set by config.bat so their
        values are left as they are.  If no arguments are passed to config.bat
        then the default values are used.


        To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
        you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
        e.g:
          x:\src\gnu\luns-0.9.10\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/luns-0.9.10

        Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a
        different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
        then you will run the following commands:
          z:
          md \build
          cd \build
          x:\src\gnu\luns-0.9.10\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/luns-0.9.10

        The order of the options and the srcdir option does not matter.  You
        *MUST* use forward slashes to specify the source directory.

        The batch file will set same environment variables, make MSDOS specific
        modifications to the Makefile.in's and supply all other needed options
        to the configure script.

3.4.:   To compile the package run from the directory where you have configured
        the sources the command:
          make
        This will produce static version of the libraries.  If you prefer the
        DXE3 module version of the libraries use the command:
          make MAKE_DXE3

3.5.:   Now you can run the tests if you like.  Start the command:
          make check

        If the package has been compiled to produce DXE3 modules, the test suite
        must be started using the command
          make check MAKE_DXE3

        If MAKE_DXE3 is omitted, the makefile will not set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        environment variable and the compiled test programs will not be able to
        find and load the DXE3 modules.

        All checks that involve certain locales (french or chinese) will be
        skipped.  Also some test involving certain multi-threading features
        will fail.

3.6.:   To install the binaries and info docs run the following command from
        the directory where you have configured the sources:
          make install

        This will install the products into your DJGPP installation tree given
        by the default prefix "/dev/env/DJDIR".  If you prefer to install them
        into some other directory you will have to set prefix to the appropriate
        value:
          make install prefix=z:/some/other/place
