Using the delivered mk to rebuild mk. You should be able to use the delivered executable of mk to build a new executable. This may be of particular interest on Windows NT/Win95 where the path of the shell program can be hard-coded by changing the variable named "shell" near the beginning of source file Nt.c. Mk uses the regular expression library, so build the program as follows: 1. ensure that ../../mkconfig contains the proper system definitions 2. ensure that the system libraries lib9, libbio, and libregexp have been built. you can do this by hand by changing to ../lib9, ../libbio, and ../libregexp and doing "mk nuke" and a "mk install" in each. 3. in this directory mk nuke mk install 4. on NT/Win95 the executable must be installed by hand because the current executable is locked down while it is executing: mv obj.out ../../Nt/386/bin/mk.exe
