Re: bazaar - I'd forgotten, but it used python - so if you have python and gcc installed, trying to install it with 'python setup.py install' _may_ work.
Something triggered in my mind last night re: graphical toolkits like xwidgets and even gtk+ that it may be possible to compile them for OS/2 using the odin toolkit and the win32 api. A lot of work has been done on odin recently - this may be a viable way to get other graphical toolkits than Qt onto OS/2.
I'm not committing _yet_ to take this on, but I am thinking about it. Debugging apache2/php is starting to annoy me, so I need something fun to distract me
If I can compile the GTK+ toolkit using odin, there's a chance of getting an up to date Gimp for OS/2!
