Porting UNIX Software

March 24, 2006

Porting UNIX Software

This book deals with the whole life cycle of porting, from setting up a source tree on your system to correcting platform differences and even testing the executable after it’s built. It exhaustively discusses the differences between versions of UNIX and the areas where porters tend to have problems.

Book Description

This book is about porting software between UNIX platforms, the process of taking a software package in source form and installing it on your machine. This doesn’t sound like a big deal at first, but there’s more to it than meets the eye: you need to know how to get the software, how to unpack what you get, how to modify the package so that it will compile on your system, how to compile and install the software on your system, and how to deal with problems
if they crop up.
