"make r" runs an +extensive set of regression tests; most of the mysterious oddments lying +around here are to do with that. "make rclean" cleans up after "make r". + +You probably want to inspect the #ifdef list early in dbz.c before +compiling, although the defaults should work all right on most systems. + +If you are not building this as part of C News, you will need to change +the -I option in FLAGS in the Makefile to "-I.", and delete the DBMLIBS +and RFC lines entirely. That will break some of the regression tests; +at some point I'll fix this. + +If you are using this independently from C News, you probably still want +to look through ../notebook/problems, as some of the portability problems +described in there can affect dbz. |
