Here I offer some ports for XFree86 for OS/2 ('XFree/2). Often I just managed to build them and didn't take care of the special not un*x-like environment. In some cases I may not even have tested the software except the programs somehow start up on my system. I also do not claim to work further on any of these ports, but if you like send me a note with your reports and comments!

Therefore I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for any damage this software might cause!

A number of [/web/20050204232928/http://www.lesstif.org/%7Eamai/os2/html/unfinished.html upcoming and never finished ports] is waiting for you!
Be careful ;-)

AddOns

You may be interested in the list of [/web/20050204232928/http://www.lesstif.org/%7Eamai/os2/html/tools.html tools and libraries] I have used to build the programs above. Including LessTif and MesaGL.



Important Notes

  • To my best knowledge all this software is free, i.e. it is legal for me to access the sources and publish the binaries. Since the sources are available online I do not publish them again.
    If you can't find the sources anywhere, send me an email and I'll give you a pointer.
  • Those packages fit directly into the XFree86/ directory tree when you "unzip" them. So you don't have to figure out yourself where to put all the different files (man pages, application defaults, binaries, documentation ...).
  • When porting software from un*x to OS/2 the handling of the different filesystems is a common problem. To reduce the number of remaining problems you should use the [/web/20050204232928/http://www.lesstif.org/%7Eamai/os2/html/tools.html#tvfs TVFS (Toronto Virtual File System)] and avoid using drives letters: just put/link all your software on single partition. Often you won't even have a chance to access other drives without TVFS.
    The other critical issue is DOS vs. un*x text mode. Ensure that configuration files are not messed up!

What other people have built for XFree/2

Here's an attempt to create the [/web/20050204232928/http://www.lesstif.org/%7Eamai/os2/html/x.html most complete list] of available ported software!
That page also features a list of [/web/20050204232928/http://www.lesstif.org/%7Eamai/os2/html/sites.html#x2sites sites carrying X/2 software].
