Note also that +-DUSEBCOPY will make utils.h substitute bcopy() for memmove(). + +After that, "make r" will build regcomp.o, regexec.o, regfree.o, +and regerror.o (the actual routines), bundle them together into a test +program, and run regression tests on them. No output is good output. + +"make lib" builds just the .o files for the actual routines (when +you're happy with testing and have adjusted CFLAGS for production), +and puts them together into libregex.a. You can pick up either the +library or *.o ("make lib" makes sure there are no other .o files left +around to confuse things). + +Main.c, debug.c, split.c are used for regression testing but are not part +of the RE routines themselves. + +Regex.h goes in /usr/include. All other .h files are internal only. +-------- |
