Main Distribution |
This is the latest version of LEAP. The distribution does not
contain a binary, so you will need an ANSI C compiler. I suggest the
GNU C compiler (gcc), because it is both free, very good, and the
program I used in development. However, most Unix supplied C compilers
do compile LEAP with no problems. You may have to enable certain options
to compile ANSI code (rather than K&R). |
I have compiled and run LEAP on the following systems: Linux
(gcc), Solaris (gcc and the standard cc), SunOS (gcc), and Windows
(gcc under Cygnus). I know it runs (from notifications I have received)
on: Linux, Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, Ultrix, IRIX, AIX, OSF1, BeOS, Free
BSD, and Windows 95, Windows NT.
|
| LEAP
contains a configuration script which should enable it to be compiled
on any Unix system. On PC systems you'll need to create a defines.h
- One is included here for your use. You will also need to set the
define HAVE_CONFIG_H. |

LEAP
1.2.5.1 (209352 bytes) - Released on 21st September 1999. FTP
availability will increase over time as files are placed by maintainers:
LEAP 1.3 will be the next development version, expect it when
you see it.

Windows Distribution |
Firstly,
a plug - for Windows and DOS users, take a look at Linux
as a free alternative. It supports a wide range of software, is entirely
free, and isn't lining Bill Gate's pockets. Get on the back of your
sysadmin to consider it, and think about installing it on your home
box to get the most from your machine. Ok, end of the plug/preach!
Windows has never included a 'C' compiler as is almost standard on
Unix machines. Therefore, with the Cygnus port of the GNU development
utilities, a 32-bit console binary is available: |

| Several
things of note: |
Special
Windows installation notes: Unzip LEAP, then in the src
directory, run runme.bat - which builds the databases necessary.
It now includes Curt Hill's WinLEAP, a GUI front-end to
the Cygnus port of LEAP, that runs on Windows 95/98/ME/NT
It
supports all of the functionality in the Unix distribution of
the same version number.

If all else fails... |
I used to offer to send distributions via e-mail. No longer (I have
a dial-up connection at home, and have large enough phone bills as
it is, thanks). Talk to your Systems Administrator for ftp access,
or use a web browser to download. If firewalls get in the way, see
your SA. Buying them a nice mug of fancy coffee, or saying what a
great job they do invariably works wonders.
