Here it is... the UnZip 5.1 port for the Atari ST/TT/Falcon!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This took me longer than I expected thanks to a difference between the
|
||
|
|
MiNT library and most UNIX libraries... symlinks are 0x16000
|
||
|
|
instead of 0xa000... I'm told this isn't even defined in POSIX, so I
|
||
|
|
can't really complain. At least we've got a filesystem that can use
|
||
|
|
symlinks!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This port requires GNU C and allows you to build an unzip/zipinfo/funzip
|
||
|
|
that supports long filenames (on appropriate filesystems, thanks to the
|
||
|
|
MiNT library), as well as symlinks. It also does "proper" (ie, DOS-style)
|
||
|
|
translation of text-file end-of-line characters. The programs also build
|
||
|
|
as shared-text binaries, so you can start unzipping several files at once
|
||
|
|
in the background and only a small part of unzip will be duplicated in
|
||
|
|
memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I build unzip with the MiNT library, GNU C 2.5.8 (2.5.7 and lower have a
|
||
|
|
rather sever problem in the optimiser that affects 68000 code only; it
|
||
|
|
adds 68020-only instructions to the 68000 code). Oh, and I tested it
|
||
|
|
extensively under MiNT's minix filesystem as well as the bogus DOS
|
||
|
|
filesystem that "normal" Atari partitions have.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Makefile won't need any editing if you want to built unzip et al. on
|
||
|
|
a minix filesystem; if you want to install it on a DOS filesystem, use
|
||
|
|
"cp" instead of "ln" for zipinfo. [Or, to save disk space, make a script/
|
||
|
|
command-file which invokes "unzip -Z ...". --CN] This is such a good
|
||
|
|
idea that I'm annoyed that Greg thought of it and I didn't... ;-) If
|
||
|
|
you're using a shell worth your while, you can alias zipinfo to
|
||
|
|
'unzip -Z' and then forget all about this paragraph.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to compile this using Turbo C (aka Pure C in North America)
|
||
|
|
you're on your own... That's ok, I'll make a nice binary version of
|
||
|
|
unzip available as soon as the official 5.1 version is released (give or
|
||
|
|
take a few days).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enjoy! Cave Newt should be given kudos for keeping this monster easy to
|
||
|
|
port... ;-) [Hah! But thanks anyway. :-) --CN]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PLEASE email me to tell me if you've uploaded the source or binary
|
||
|
|
versions of Unzip 5.x to any BBS systems or commercial online systems so
|
||
|
|
we can update the WHERE file!
