To remove spim from spim.tar.Z and put it in a directory called spim do: mkdir spim cd spim zcat ../spim.tar.Z | tar xvf - // You may wish to enable the memory mapped I/O feature by // editing the Makefile and removing the -DNOMEMIO. The -memio // option works on many BSD flavers, but may not work on some // System Vs. You do not need to change anything to use SAL. On nearly all systems you should be able to compile spim with make spim xspim I would strongly suggest testing spim with make test To install spim for others to use, you will need to make the trap.handler file availible. The path to the trap handler must be set in the Makefile. If you change TRAP_PATH and want to recompile spim with the new path then rm spim-utils.o make spim xspim Xspim requires X windows R4 or later. Spim has been compiled as is, with and without gcc, on DECstation 3100 under Ultrix IBM RT under BSD 4.3 HP300 under BSD 4.3 HP's s800 under HP/UX (cc requires non-ANSI version) (cc and gcc requires -DNOMEMIO or -DTERMIO) Sparc under SunOS 4.1.2 (cc requires non-ANSI version) For e-mail on future updates (until May 1993) mail scottk@cs.wisc.edu.
