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 Since the sources are available online I do not publish them again.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 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 [most complete list] of available ported software!
That page also features a list of [sites carrying X/2 software].
