Hi All,

Now available from http://smedley.info/os2ports - a complete (hopefully) environment for building applications using GCC on OS/2.

I often get asked about how my build environment is structured, so here it is - in a single zip file. I started too think about how to set it up from scratch, but it got too hard. I started with the mozilla build environment, and hacked away over time...

Instructions:

* I have this all setup on u: drive. It should be possible to move it to another drive, at the very least - gcc335.cmd would need to be modified, and probably also many of the package config files in extraslibpkgconfig, and also some of the *config files in extrasin

* I keep all my installed libraries in extras - this was I can wipe out usr when a new version of GCC comes out.

* Unzip to root directory - recommended u: drive

* Change to extraslib and run makeomflibs

* Change to usrlib and run makeomflibs

* Create an icon on the WPS, Path and Filename = *, Parameters = /ku:gcc335.cmd, working directory = u:

* launch icon, start building :) Many things will compile with a simple ash ./configure, make

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Paul.
