Porting UNIX Software: From Download to Debug - Greg Lehey - Paperback

Porting UNIX Software deals with the whole life cycle of porting, from setting up a source tree on your system to correcting platform differences and even testing the executable after it's built. The book exhaustively discusses the differences between versions of UNIX and the areas where porters tend to have problems. The assumption made in this book is that you just want to get a package working on your system; you don't want to become an expert in the details of your hardware or operating system (much less an expert in the system used by the person who wrote the package). Many problems can be solved without a knowledge of C or UNIX, while the ones that force you to deal directly with source code are explained as simply and concretely as possible.Lehey, Greg is the author of 'Porting UNIX Software: From Download to Debug - Greg Lehey - Paperback' with ISBN 9781565921269 and ISBN 1565921267.
