BUILDING SPIM FOR UNIX SYSTEMS
27
==============================
29
These instructions explain how to compile and install spim and xspim on a
30
Unix system. It is not necessary to compile spim for PCs, as the web site
31
has precompiled versions.
33
To make SPIM, you must first run the Configure script:
37
Note: Configure compiles a program with the C compiler (cc). If you want it
38
to use another compiler, set the environment variable CC to its name, e.g.:
43
Next, edit the first few non-comment lines of Imakefile (or Makefile.std or
44
Makefile.cygwin, if you use one of those instead) to set the pathnames for
47
EXCEPTION_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which to
48
install the SPIM exception handler.
50
BIN_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which spim and
51
xspim should be installed.
53
MAN_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which the manual
54
pages for spim and xspim should be installed.
29
These instructions explain how to compile and install spim and xspim.
31
It is not necessary to compile PCSpim (the Microsoft Windows version), as
32
the spim web site contains a precompiled version.
34
To build spim (the terminal version) or xspim (the X-windows and Mac
37
1. Change to the directory "spim" to build spim. Change to the directory
38
"xspim" to build xspim
40
2. If necessary, edit the first few non-comment lines of the Makefile (or
41
the Imakefile if you are building xspim) to set the pathnames for your
44
EXCEPTION_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which to
45
install the SPIM exception handler.
47
BIN_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which spim and
48
xspim should be installed.
50
MAN_DIR -- The full pathname of the directory in which the manual
51
pages for spim and xspim should be installed.
56
53
In general, the remaining parameters need not be changed.
58
Then, if using Imakefile type:
56
3. If you are building spim type:
61
4. If you are building xspim, type:
63
If you want an X-window version of SPIM, also type:
68
If you do not have X-windows or the program xmkmf, edit the makefile in
69
Makefile.std or Makefile.cygwin and type:
71
% make -f Makefile.std test
72
% make -f Makefile.std xspim
75
To run spim or xspim, the exception handler code must be installed in the
76
directory specified by the variable EXCEPTION_DIR in the Makefile. If the file
77
exceptions.s is not installed, spim and xspim fail with a message before
78
they start running. You can either install this file by hand or by typing
66
5. To run spim or xspim, the exception handler code must be installed in the
67
directory specified by the variable EXCEPTION_DIR in the Makefile. If the
68
file "exceptions."s is not installed, spim and xspim fail with a message
69
before they start running. You can either install this file by hand or by
82
which also installs spim, xspim, and the manual pages in the directories that you set (above).
85
To test that spim is correctly built, type
74
which also installs spim, xspim, and the manual pages in the directories
78
6. To test that spim builds correctly, in the "spim" directory type
90
83
installed before running the test.)
96
SPIM works well on Windows. You can easily build spim (the non-windowing
97
version) using the Cygwin port of the GNU tools (see www.cygwin.com). The
98
Windows version of spim is called PCSpim and is distributed through:

86
BUILDING SPIM ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS
87
==================================
89
spim (the terminal version) works well on Microsoft Windows. You can easily
90
build it using the Cygwin port of the GNU tools (see www.cygwin.com).
92
The Microsoft Windows version of spim is called PCSpim and is built using
93
Microsoft Visual Studio. You can get the files separately from
94
www.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html

===================
107
101
I generally release new version of SPIM once a year, before a semester

boundary (late August or early January). The new version are available
