I've just uploaded an initial build of The Battle for Wesnoth for OS/2 & eComStation to my ports page at http://smedley.info/os2ports.html & the work-in-progress new site at http://smedley.info/os2ports/

The Battle for Wesnoth is a free, turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme. Fight a desperate battle to reclaim the throne of Wesnoth, or take hand in any number of other adventures.

More information is available at http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Description

It was built using Innotek GCC v3.3.5 CSD1 version and requires the runtime dll from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.0-ga2.zip

The necessary SDL dll's are included, however it is worthwhile checking ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/sdl for newer versions. At the time of writing, ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/sdl/sdl-1.2.10-bin-20060517.zip is the latest.

This has not been tested extensively, but I have played through a couple of tutorials, and fired up the editor (wesnoth_editor.exe). In particular, campaignd.exe, cutter.exe, exploder.exe & wesnothd.exe have not been tested at all, but are included for the brave at heart.

Please send any feedback or encouragement on this release to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., bugs can be reported via the bug tracker at http://mantis.smedley.info
