8 Building Open AFS on Win 95
9 ---------------------------
11 The Windows 95 Open AFS client consists of two main components: the client
12 program afsd.exe, which is compiled with the DJGPP compiler and runs in a
13 DOS virtual machine; and the utility programs, which are built on Windows
14 NT or 9x using the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler V6.0.
19 afsd.exe is built using the DJGPP cross-compiler, executed from Linux.
20 It should also be possible to build it using the native DOS DJGPP compiler,
21 but we did not try this. You will need to install the following packages
22 from DJGPP and the Coda project.
24 ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/tools/djgpp-2.01_0.93_glibc-1.i386.rpm
25 ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/tools/djgpp-win95ext-2.01_0.93_glibc-1.i386.rpm
26 ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/tools/gdb-djgpp-4.16-2.i386.rpm
28 You will also need the MMAP.VXD and SOCK.VXD from the Coda project. Source
30 ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/src/win95-coda-5.2.0.zip
32 Follow the Coda instructions to build these VXD's, which you can read here:
33 http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/doc/html/coda-howto-6.html#ss6.4
35 Once you have the necessary tools installed, set the following environment
37 SYS_NAME: set to i386_djgpp
38 LINUX_SYS: set to the sysname of the Linux version you are using, e.g.,
41 The makefile expects to build into a platform directory with symlinks
42 into the source directory. The Perl script "mkdest.pl" in this dir. will
43 set this up for you. To use it, create a directory under the top-level
44 dir. (the directory above src) called "i386_djgpp". Then cd to that
45 directory and type "../src/mkdest.pl <absolute path of your src dir.>"
47 Then execute "make -f Makefile.djgpp" from the top-level directory.
48 (You can create a symlink to src/Makefile.djgpp from this dir.)
49 The afsd.exe will be built into i386_djgpp/dest/bin.
53 The Makefile.djgpp actually builds Linux versions of the utilities
54 rxgen, install, compile_et, and util.a. It uses the Linux version
55 of param.h which it copies to the afs subdirectory of the above
56 components. You will need to set SYS_NAME to your Linux system name
57 manually if you want to build these utilities separately.
59 Utilities and GUI programs
60 --------------------------
62 The rest of the support programs are built as Win32 executables from a
63 Windows 9x or NT system. You will need to set the following environment
66 set SYS_NAME=i386_win95
67 set AFSDEV_BUILDTYPE=CHECKED (or FREE if you want to skip debugging info.)
68 set AFSDEV_INCLUDE=<path of your Visual C include files>
69 set AFSDEV_LIB=<path of your Visual C libs>
71 set AFSROOT=<PATH to base of development directory>
72 e.g. AFSROOT\SRC is source directory of the build tree
74 set OBJ=src or obj, see below
75 set MSSDK=<path to sdk header files>, see below
77 If you are building on a Unix directory exported to Windows through Samba
78 or AFS, you can create a platform directory named "i386_win95" using the
79 "mkdest.pl" script as described above (run from a Unix system). This will
80 only work on a file system that supports symbolic links. If you are using
81 a platform directory, set the OBJ environment var. to "obj" and create
82 a symlink "obj" in the top-level dir. that points to "i386_win95/obj".
83 Otherwise, set OBJ to "src" to build the objects with the sources.
85 The environment variable AFSROOT points to the parent of the AFS src
86 directory. Executables will be built by default in AFSROOT\dest.
88 Copy the file src\NTMake9x to the parent of the src directory. You only
89 need to do this once. If you are building on a local drive, copy
90 AFSROOT\src\symlink.bat to AFSROOT\.
92 Follow the NT build instructions in file "README-NT" to perform the build.
93 You will be using "NTMake9x" as the top-level makefile, instead of
94 "NTMakefile". Most of the instructions in "README-NT" apply to the Win9x
99 1) If you are building the Windows 9x AFS Client Control Panel
100 (win9xpanel), it requires shlwapi.h. This file can be found in the
101 header files associated with the Windows SDK (95/98 NT or W2000).
103 2) You can build the Windows 9x client from a Windows NT or W2000 system.
104 This requires you to edit AFSROOT\config\NTMakefile.i386_win95.
105 Change line: DEL = $(AFSROOT)\src\rmbat
108 3) If you build the W2000 client, then switch to building the Windows 95
109 client (or vice versa), you should clean the previous build by either:
110 nmake -f ntmakefile clean
111 or nmake -f ntmake9x clean
113 4) When building the "comerr" component, the makefile now uses the
114 existing error_table_nt.c file (and touches it so it will be up to date
115 by default.) If you make changes to the lex or yacc source files and want
116 to rebuild error_table_nt.c, you can simply delete it and rerun make,
117 which will cause the file to be built using lex and yacc. Make sure
118 you have these utilities on your system.
120 5) Required DLL's for redistribution
122 The AFS Control Panel for Win95/98 requires Microsoft DLL's that can
124 VC6RedistSetup_enu.exe
126 http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q259/4/03.ASP
127 Two Microsoft DLL's must be included at DEST\WinInstall\Config\.
130 These DLL's will not be left on the target machine, there are only
131 used for installation and removed after installation is complete.
133 6) Required changes to configuration file .\src\config\NTMakefile.i386_win95
135 AFSPRODUCT_VERSION - Product version
136 CELLNAME_DEFAULT - The default AFS cell name
137 CELLSERVDB_INSTALL - The default name for the CellServDB included in the install script
138 CELLSERVDB_WEB - The default web address to obtain CellServDB
142 .\src\config\NTMakefile.i386_win95
143 AFSPRODUCT_VERSION=1.1.1a
144 CELLNAME_DEFAULT=openafs.org
145 CELLSERVDB_INSTALL=CellServDB.GrandCentral
146 CELLSERVDB_WEB=http://grand.central.org/dl/cellservdb/CellServDB
148 Version level may be specified in different formats, for example the following
149 forms all have the same version level; however will be displayed differently:
151 AFSPRODUCT_VERSION=1.1.1a
152 AFSPRODUCT_VERSION=1.1.1 a
153 AFSPRODUCT_VERSION=1.1.1.1
154 AFSPRODUCT_VERSION=1.1.101
158 First, execute "nmake /f ntmake9x media" to copy all the client
159 executables and other files to DEST\WinInstall.
161 You can then install the client onto a target Windows 9x machine by
163 install.bat <source> <drive> <install dir.> <home cell> <cache size in 1K blocks>
165 install.bat DEST\WinInstall\ c: \afscli almaden.ibm.com 40000
167 If you do not wish to use the batch file, you can install the client
168 manually by performing the following steps.
170 1. On the target machine, copy all the files from DEST\WinInstall to the
171 install location (usually c:\afscli).
172 2. Add entries to the target's AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:
173 set AFSCONF=c:\afscli (replace with your install dir.)
174 path %path%;c:\afscli
175 3. Copy the template.reg file to afscli.reg. Replace any references
176 to c: and afscli with your install location. Double click on the
177 afscli.reg file to add the registry entries to the target system.
178 4. Create the following AFS configuration files in the install dir.:
180 containing the name of your home cell
182 containing your cache configuration. For example,
183 to configure a cache of 40,000 1KB blocks with a disk cache
184 location of c:\afscache, you would enter in this file:
185 /afs:c:\afscache;40000
186 (The cache location has no effect unless you have enabled
187 the experimental disk cache support.)
189 the cell server database. You can get the latest version from AFS:
190 /afs/transarc.com/service/etc/CellServDB.export
191 5. Reboot the target machine.
192 6. You can now start the client by executing the program WinAfsLoad.exe
193 from the install directory.
