Update of /afs/dev.mit.edu/source/repository/packs/build/finish/platform/sgi
In directory the-light-fantastic:/afs/dev.mit.edu/user/ghudson/packs/build/finish/platform/sgi
Modified Files:
Makefile
Added Files:
makewhatis.sed
Log Message:
Generate whatis database and cat files by hand, guaranteeing that we
never look in the installed /usr/athena if we're doing a self-
consistent build. Also avoid regenerating files if they're up to date.
Unfortunately, this code is pretty hard to look at (it's trying to do
something pretty complicated with essentially no help from the
operating system), and will have to be duplicated with slight changes
on multiple platforms. Perhaps a small C program a la fix-owners is
in order.
