SYNOPSIS

These are some of the scripts that I use in configuring, building and saving the logfiles from building programs on multiple platforms.

GENERAL SCRIPTS

archive. Script to construct a gzip'd (or compress'd) tar file.
diff-patch. A script that combines diffstat and makepatch.
make-out
makepatch
run-out

SPECIFIC SCRIPTS

I use these scripts to save logfiles after doing a build. They all assume that there is a parallel directory of the same name, e.g., ../save-vile, next to the current directory. The current directory is the top of the build tree.

REPORTING PROBLEMS

If you have a machine that I've not ported to, and have problems, I'll require the relevant information:

	log from running 'configure', with options
		I recommend that you use run-out to capture this.
	config.cache
	config.log
	config.status
	the generated headers (e.g., config.h)
	log from running 'make', with options
		I recommend that you use make-out to capture this.

A uuencoded or mime'd gzip'd/tar file is preferred, because the logfiles can be awkward to email.
