* INSTALL: Simplify dependency section.Andre Noll2024-05-19
| | | | | Lopsub is available as a Debian package these days, so remove the lopsub download and installation instructions.
* web: Streamline INSTALL.Andre Noll2020-09-22
| | | | | | | | | It was a bit too detailed, and inconsistent with respect to usage of sudo. Also the formatting of the commands and the font usage was inconsistent. Provide a link to the lopsub homepage and mention that m4 is required while at it.
* web: Get rid of doxygen.Andre Noll2020-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Doxygen is an additional dependency, and it's total overkill for a small project like osl. The self-contained gendoc.m4 script does everything we need, and is much faster. This patch converts osl.h.in to gendoc syntax and removes all traces of doxygen. Since gendoc.m4 relies on features of gnu-m4 we run it with -g to enable gnu extensions. This has been tested on FreeBSD and NetBSD which ship different m4 implementations, both of which understand -g.
* Don't mention MacOS and Solaris in README and INSTALL.Andre Noll2020-06-16
| | | | Support for these was dropped recently.
* Convert oslfsck to lopsub.Andre Noll2017-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | The gengetopt project seems to be dead (last release was five years ago), so we eventually need to switch to something else. This commit migrates the option parser of oslfsck to the lopsub library, which turned out to be rather simple. As a result, the osl package no longer depends on gengetopt and help2man. The change only affects the oslfsck executable. No changes to the library proper.
* INSTALL: Explain how to update the library cache on MacOS.Andre Noll2016-07-28
| | | | Thanks to Thomas Helle for pointing this out.
* Convert README and INSTALL to markdown.Andre Noll2016-07-28
| | | | | | | | | The grutatxt project is dead, so we need to switch to something else eventually. Fortunately, only little changes are required for the switch to the markdown markup language as there are only two files in the source tree which are formated with grutatxt. This patch converts both files and adjusts the Makefile to run the markdown converter instead of the grutatxt script.
* web: Create man page with groff rather than man2html.Andre Noll2016-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The man2html project is dead, as is the link on the osl web page. The URL mentioned in the info of the man2html package for Ubuntu-14.04 still works but might not be the most up to date page on the planet any more: http://users.actrix.gen.nz/michael/vhman2html.html In any case, it's a funny read. Needless to say that the link to the sunsite FTP server is also dead. This commit makes osl independent of man2html, simply by running groff -Thtml instead of man2html. This even simplifies the Makefile a bit. The patch also removes the dead link on the osl main page. We don't need a replacement reference to groff because groff should be installed on all systems anyway.
* INSTALL update.Andre Noll2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | Remove dependency on openssl and describe more clearly what is needed to compile and install the package. Also mention that one can set PREFIX to change the installation prefix at make install time.
* Add the osl logo.Andre Noll2009-07-27
| | | | Many thanks to Sebastian Schultheiss who created the logo.
* INSTALL: Add links to man2html and ImageMagick Homepages.Andre Noll2009-07-27

* Add README/INSTALL and webpage generation stuff.Andre Noll2009-07-26
