Several people have noticed that some of the Makefiles invoke a mysterious
program "makedtr", which is nowhere in evidence. Sorry about that. The
problem is that since the alpha release was a clone of our working copies,
rather than a polished distribution, you got the stuff that was meant for
assembling the distribution rather than the result. Makedtr is just a
simple shell archiver with a special tweak or two. It plays no particularly
vital part in things, except that the batcher Makefile wants to use it to
prepare a file of test data. You can just twiddle the Makefile to ignore
the test stuff, but if you don't want to do that, here is makedtr:
----------
for f
do
case "$f"
in
*Makefile)
name=Makefile
;;
*)
name="$f"
;;
esac
echo "echo '$name':"
echo "sed 's/^X//' >'$name' <<'!'"
sed 's/^/X/' "$f"
echo "!"
done
echo "echo done"
