For more information, see [Japanese page].

WARNING

The sedash is not updated since 2001. It will no longer be useful at all. This page is kept only for historical reason.

What is this?

This kit enables you to make sh.exe which includes sed as shell built-in comand UNDER CYGWIN. ( I do not know whether this sh.exe runs under other UNIX-like OSs. )

Feature

This sh fastens shell scripts which uses sed by avoiding fork() and exec(). ( Cygwin's fork() and exec() run VERY slow. ) For example, `configure' shell scripts generally run two or three times faster on this sh.exe than on original one.

Requirements

You need sed-3.02-1-src.tar.gz and ash-20010425-src.tar.gz. This kit is highly version-dependent, so it is necessary for you to get these files from cygwin mirror sites .These files are also available from this page.

Installation

First of all, expand sedash-<version>.tar.gz[bz2] and read the file INSTALL.txt. Then expand sed-3.02-1-src.tar.gz and ash-20010425-src.tar.gz following the description, and build sh.
