This directory contains MPW scripts and related files that are needed to build Cygnus GNU tools for MPW. The scripts should be somewhere on the command path; our usual practice has been to have a separate directory for the scripts, and put the tools (byacc, flex, and sed at least) there also; then it's easier to drag the support bits around as a group, or to upgrade MPW versions. The complete package of scripts and tool binaries is usually available as pub/mac/buildtools.cpt.hqx on ftp.cygnus.com. "tr-7to8-src" is actually the source to an MPW script that transforms sequences like "\Option-d" into the actual 8-bit chars that MPW needs. It's only the source because it can't itself include any 8-bit chars. It *can* be processed into a genuine "tr-7to8" by using itself: tr-7to8 tr-7to8-src | sed -e 's/Src//' >new-tr-7to8 Use this to verify: compare tr-7to8 new-tr-7to8 If you don't have a working tr-7to8, then you will have to manually replace all occurrences of "\Option-d" with real Option-d (which looks like a delta), then do similarly with all the other "\Option-..." strings, and then change "\SrcOption-d" into the string "\Option-d".
