+To compile f2c on Linux or Unix systems, copy makefile.u to makefile,
+edit makefile if necessary (see the comments in it and below) and
+type "make" (or maybe "nmake", depending on your system).
+
+To compile f2c.exe on MS Windows systems with Microsoft Visual C++,
+
+ copy makefile.vc makefile
+ nmake
+
+With other PC compilers, you may need to compile xsum.c with -DMSDOS
+(i.e., with MSDOS #defined).
+
+If your compiler does not understand ANSI/ISO C syntax (i.e., if
+you have a K&R C compiler), compile with -DKR_headers .
+
+On non-Unix systems where files have separate binary and text modes,
+you may need to "make xsumr.out" rather than "make xsum.out".
+
+If (in accordance with what follows) you need to any of the source
+files (excluding the makefile), first issue a "make xsum.out" (or, if
+appropriate, "make xsumr.out") to check the validity of the f2c source,
+then make your changes, then type "make f2c".
+
+The file usignal.h is for the benefit of strictly ANSI include files
+on a UNIX system -- the ANSI signal.h does not define SIGHUP or SIGQUIT.
+You may need to modify usignal.h if you are not running f2c on a UNIX
+system.
+
+Should you get the message "xsum0.out xsum1.out differ", see what lines
+are different (`diff xsum0.out xsum1.out`) and ask netlib
+(e.g., netlib@netlib.org) to send you the files in question,
+plus the current xsum0.out (which may have changed) "from f2c/src".
+For example, if exec.c and expr.c have incorrect check sums, you would
+send netlib the message
+ send exec.c expr.c xsum0.out from f2c/src
+You can also ftp these files from netlib.bell-labs.com; for more
+details, ask netlib@netlib.org to "send readme from f2c".
+
+On some systems, the malloc and free in malloc.c let f2c run faster
+than do the standard malloc and free. Other systems may not tolerate
+redefinition of malloc and free (though changes of 8 Nov. 1994 may
+render this less of a problem than hitherto). If your system permits
+use of a user-supplied malloc, you may wish to change the MALLOC =
+line in the makefile to "MALLOC = malloc.o", or to type
+ make MALLOC=malloc.o
+instead of
+ make
+Still other systems have a -lmalloc that provides performance
+competitive with that from malloc.c; you may wish to compare the two
+on your system. If your system does not permit user-supplied malloc
+routines, then f2c may fault with "MALLOC=malloc.o", or may display
+other untoward behavior.
+
+On some BSD systems, you may need to create a file named "string.h"
+whose single line is
+#include <strings.h>
+you may need to add " -Dstrchr=index" to the "CFLAGS =" assignment
+in the makefile, and you may need to add " memset.o" to the "OBJECTS ="
+assignment in the makefile -- see the comments in memset.c .
+
+For non-UNIX systems, you may need to change some things in sysdep.c,
+such as the choice of intermediate file names.
+
+On some systems, you may need to modify parts of sysdep.h (which is
+included by defs.h). In particular, for Sun 4.1 systems and perhaps
+some others, you need to comment out the typedef of size_t. For some
+systems (e.g., IRIX 4.0.1 and AIX) it is better to add
+#define ANSI_Libraries
+to the beginning of sysdep.h (or to supply -DANSI_Libraries in the
+makefile).
+
+Alas, some systems #define __STDC__ but do not provide a true standard
+(ANSI or ISO) C environment, e.g. do not provide stdlib.h . If yours
+is such a system, then (a) you should complain loudly to your vendor
+about __STDC__ being erroneously defined, and (b) you should insert
+#undef __STDC__
+at the beginning of sysdep.h . You may need to make other adjustments.
+
+For some non-ANSI versions of stdio, you must change the values given
+to binread and binwrite in sysdep.c from "rb" and "wb" to "r" and "w".
+You may need to make this change if you run f2c and get an error
+message of the form
+ Compiler error ... cannot open intermediate file ...
+
+In the days of yore, two libraries, libF77 and libI77, were used with
+f77 (the Fortran compiler on which f2c is based). Separate source for
+these libraries is still available from netlib, but it is more
+convenient to combine them into a single library, libf2c. Source for
+this combined library is also available from netlib in f2c/libf2c.zip,
+e.g.,
+ http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/f2c/libf2c.zip
+or
+ http://www.netlib.org/f2c/libf2c.zip
+
+(and similarly for other netlib mirrors). After unzipping libf2c.zip,
+copy the relevant makefile.* to makefile, edit makefile if necessary
+(see the comments in it and in libf2c/README) and invoke "make" or
+"nmake". The resulting library is called *f2c.lib on MS Windows
+systems and libf2c.a or libf2c.so on Linux and Unix systems;
+makefile.u just shows how to make libf2c.a. Details on creating the
+shared-library variant, libf2c.so, are system-dependent; some that
+have worked under Linux appear below. For some other systems, you can
+glean the details from the system-dependent makefile variants in
+directory http://www.netlib.org/ampl/solvers/funclink or
+http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/ampl/solvers/funclink, etc.
+
+In general, under Linux it is necessary to compile libf2c (or libI77)
+with -DNON_UNIX_STDIO . Under at least one variant of Linux, you can
+make and install a shared-library version of libf2c by compiling
+libI77 with -DNON_UNIX_STDIO, creating libf2c.a as above, and then
+executing
+
+ mkdir t
+ ln lib?77/*.o t
+ cd t; cc -shared -o ../libf2c.so -Wl,-soname,libf2c.so.1 *.o
+ cd ..
+ rm -r t
+ rm /usr/lib/libf2c*
+ mv libf2c.a libf2c.so /usr/lib
+ cd /usr/lib
+ ln libf2c.so libf2c.so.1
+ ln libf2c.so libf2c.so.1.0.0
+
+On some other systems, /usr/local/lib is the appropriate installation
+directory.
+
+
+Some older C compilers object to
+ typedef void (*foo)();
+or to
+ typedef void zap;
+ zap (*foo)();
+If yours is such a compiler, change the definition of VOID in
+f2c.h from void to int.
+
+For convenience with systems that use control-Z to denote end-of-file,
+f2c treats control-Z characters (ASCII 26, '\x1a') that appear at the
+beginning of a line as an end-of-file indicator. You can disable this
+test by compiling lex.c with NO_EOF_CHAR_CHECK #defined, or can
+change control-Z to some other character by #defining EOF_CHAR to
+be the desired value.
+
+
+If your machine has IEEE, VAX, or IBM-mainframe arithmetic, but your
+printf is inaccurate (e.g., with Symantec C++ version 6.0,
+printf("%.17g",12.) prints 12.000000000000001), you can make f2c print
+correctly rounded numbers by compiling with -DUSE_DTOA and adding
+dtoa.o g_fmt.o to the makefile's OBJECTS = line, so it becomes
+
+ OBJECTS = $(OBJECTSd) malloc.o dtoa.o g_fmt.o
+
+Also add the rule
+
+ dtoa.o: dtoa.c
+ $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) -DMALLOC=ckalloc -DIEEE... dtoa.c
+
+(without the initial tab) to the makefile, where IEEE... is one of
+IEEE_MC68k, IEEE_8087, VAX, or IBM, depending on your machine's
+arithmetic. See the comments near the start of dtoa.c.
+
+The relevant source files, dtoa.c and g_fmt.c, are available
+separately from netlib's fp directory. For example, you could
+send the E-mail message
+
+ send dtoa.c g_fmt.c from fp
+
+to netlib@netlib.netlib.org (or use anonymous ftp from
+ftp.netlib.org and look in directory /netlib/fp).
+
+The makefile has a rule for creating tokdefs.h. If you cannot use the
+makefile, an alternative is to extract tokdefs.h from the beginning of
+gram.c: it's the first 100 lines.
+
+File mem.c has #ifdef CRAY lines that are appropriate for machines
+with the conventional CRAY architecture, but not for "Cray" machines
+based on DEC Alpha chips, such as the T3E; on such machines, you may
+need to make a suitable adjustment, e.g., add #undef CRAY to sysdep.h.
+
+
+Please send bug reports to dmg at acm.org (with " at " changed to "@").
+The old index file (now called "readme" due to unfortunate changes in
+netlib conventions: "send readme from f2c") will report recent
+changes in the recent-change log at its end; all changes will be shown
+in the "changes" file ("send changes from f2c"). To keep current
+source, you will need to request xsum0.out and version.c, in addition
+to the changed source files.
