[M3devel] cm3-5.4 building on NT386 cat not recognized command

Sun Jan 14 20:38:03 CET 2007

Good!

The problems in obliq I know about.
They are old. Getting this far in "std" I think is pretty good.

I'm sure we can just switch on M3_OSTYPE and use type or echo instead of 
cat, or add more builtins to quake.

Question: M3_OSTYPE, this it meant to be a query about the target and not 
the host, right?
My suspected anwer: Cross builds aren't actually factored into the build 
system right. There is not a way to check one vs. the other. That is, host 
is mostly assumed to be target. Not completely broken, since cross builds 
are doable, in a way I am not familiar with but is documented.

file_exists should be either in that m3makefile or the global cm3.cfg.
it is defined by me as like:

proc file_exists(a) is
  return stale(a, a)
end

I thought the use of "stale(a,a)" in places kind of obscure and worthy of a 
name.

In order to work with whatever global cm3.cfg someone has, let's just put
in a local definition. Some of the history in the import-libs directory is 
it did not initially build incrementally, just always clean, so my changes 
for incrementality have less time under their belt, so to speak.
