Building ojstools 0.6 under Windows NT is possible using Cygnus' Cygwin
tools, which are available from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin. The
ojstools source itself is available from
http://acuity.cis.ohio-state.edu/ojstools/index.html. We used Cygwin B20,
which includes the following GNU tools required to build ojstools:

    flex Cygnus version 2.5.2
    GNU Bison version 1.25
    g++ egcs-2.91.57


---------------------------------------------------------
Porting to Windows NT:
---------------------------------------------------------
No real porting is necessary. However, to get a clean build, the makefiles
should be changed to include the '.exe' extensions that Windows NT
executables have.

The following changes were made:

    jsindent/module.mk:31: jsindent_binary:=jsindent/jsindent.exe
    jslint/module.mk:31:   jslint_binary:=jslint/jslint.exe
    ojsc/module.mk:35:     ojsc_binary:=ojsc/ojsc.exe


---------------------------------------------------------
Building
---------------------------------------------------------
To build ojstools, follow these steps:

1) Start the Cywin BASH shell (run cygnus.bat from a console window).

2) Mount / to the directory just above the cygnus directory (you must
unmount / if it's already mounted somewhere else). Mount /tmp to your
temporary directory (usually stored in the TEMP environment variable).

My cygnus directory is 'r:/cygnus', so the commands I used were:

    umount /
    mount r:/ /
    umount /tmp
    mount $TEMP /tmp
    
After that, run 'mount' with no arguments to verify that everything is
correctly mounted. My output looked like this:

    bash-2.02$ mount
    Device           Directory           Type        Flags
    C:\TEMP          /tmp                native      text!=binary
    r:               /                   native      text!=binary
    
3) Set the BISONLIB environment variable to the Cygwin 'share' directory,
like this:

    BISONLIB=/cygnus/cygwin-b20/share
    
Otherwise, Bison won't be able to find bison.simple, which makes it unhappy.

4) Change to the ojstools source directory and run 'make'. Everything
should build happily; I saw a couple of benign warnings, but that was it.
After everything has been built, run 'make clean' to remove unnecessary
intermediate files.
