This is sam (not including samterm) from the 4th edition of Plan 9,
|
|
with changes so that it can be compiled under unix.
|
|
(Tested on Solaris 7 and Debian 3.0r1.)
|
|
|
|
Some extra libraries are needed. First, fetch libutf-2.0 and libfmt-2.0
|
|
from
|
|
http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rsc/software/
|
|
|
|
(Beware that in libfmt/fmt.c there is a line that says:
|
|
'u', __ifmt, /* in Plan 9, __flagfmt */
|
|
Thus, sam will have to fmtinstall the other thing. Other ported programs
|
|
may have to do the same. The fmt library should probably print messages
|
|
about bad format characters to stderr, since no one seems to check the
|
|
return codes.)
|
|
|
|
Compile and install those two libraries.
|
|
Set PREFIX in the Makefile to match, then compile sam.
|
|
|
|
Your C compiler will emit many complaints of the form:
|
|
sam.c:496: warning: passing arg 1 of `bufread' from incompatible pointer type
|
|
|
|
This is because the Plan 9 compiler has a slightly different (better,
|
|
ala Oberon) type system than ISO C. Popular compilers generate the right
|
|
code, so in an act of civil disobediance I changed just enough to get
|
|
it to compile, but left the type errors in. Now the next C standard can
|
|
adopt this extension, because at least one important C program uses it!
