This port uses distfiles that I prepared specially for FreeBSD. The DEC
SRC release of Modula-3 comes in the form of 3 compressed tar files
totaling about 16 MB. A small fraction of that is actually needed.
The FreeBSD distfiles are as follows.
m3-fbsd-src-3.6.tar.gz (required)
Sources for selected portions of the SRC release. These
files are unmodified; however, only a subset is included.
Files relating to platforms other than FreeBSD have been
omitted. Also, several large but rarely-used packages have
been left out.
m3-fbsd-m3cc-3.6.tar.gz (required)
Sources for the Modula-3 specific files making up the code
generator. As released by SRC, the code generator is a
slightly modified version of gcc-2.6.3. I have updated
the modifications to work with the newer gcc-2.7.2.1. Only
the files which differ from those in the FreeBSD gcc-2.7.2.1
sources are included in this distfile.
m3-fbsd-gcc-3.6.tar.gz (optional)
Sources for the needed portions of gcc-2.7.2.1 which are
identical to those included in the FreeBSD system sources.
Many systems have these files online in "/usr/src/contrib/gcc".
The Makefile looks for them there first, and uses the online
files if they are present. Only if the necessary files
are missing is this distfile fetched and used.
m3-fbsd-boot-3.6.tar.gz (optional)
A statically-linked FreeBSD executable for the Modula-3
compiler. A working compiler is needed, because the compiler
is itself written in Modula-3. The Makefile looks for this
executable on the system; it may already be present from
an earlier version of the port. If found, the version
already on the system is used. Otherwise, this distfile
is fetched and used.
Also in the current directory are files named "T.*" and "X.*". These
contain lists of files and wildcards specifying the files to be included
and excluded from each distfile. For example, "m3-fbsd-src-3.6.tar.gz"
can be reconstructed using the following commands:
make extract
cd work
tar -czvf m3-fbsd-src-3.6.tar.gz -T ../files/T.src -X ../files/X.src
