can anybody tell me what I would need to build hpt on os2?

I have gcc, make, cmake what else would I need?

I am a long time linux user, who wants to learn os2

and I think the system that I am running it on needs a more customized build for its ancient hardware

amd Duron 1ghz - 2gigs ram

any pointers ??

Thanks,

Michael

The entry point is the huskybse modul. The README is outdated.

https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/blob/master/README

But you will find useful information like a list of supported compilers in

https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/blob/master/README.Makefiles

OS/2 EMX makefile.emo
OS/2 EMX makefile.emx
OS/2 IBM CSet makefile.ibo
OS/2 Watcom C makefile.wco
OS/2 High C makefile.hco
OS/2 Borland C makefile.bco

If your compiler doesn't work try another. ;-)


This one goes through the lib version sequence trouble:

https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/blob/master/DEPENDENCIES

And finally the install instructions:

https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/blob/master/INSTALL


I found OS2BBS OS2DOS and TEAMOS2 echos in 2017 but i have no idea about the actual echo status. File distribution is at https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/ and i think the GFD network is connected to hobbes or will receive the same files.

Most if not all of these makefiles are broken due to neglect.

It's a bit unfair to send users on a long adventure trying to track down which compiler actually successfully builds the project.

Also beware that the installers of older commercial OS/2 compilers (Borland, Metaware & C/Set) have a tendancy to break the boot sequence on OS/2 Warp 4.0 and above due to CONFIG.SYS modifications. The PATH ordering in CONFIG.SYS gets erroneously changed causing much older DLLs (eg. SOM.DLL) to be loaded by the Workplace Shell. This fails because of missing exports (or API changes) in the older DLLs, and the PC gets stuck in a boot loop.

Ideally whoever built this:

http://download.huskyproject.org/os2/husky-all-1.9-os2-libc066-20201211.zip

would chime in and tell us exactly what compiler they're using, and what their build process is.

Thanks andrew for sharing your experience. I'm sorry but i'm used to take a look into the actual documentation and proceed as per information found within.

My intention was to give an entry point and first orientation overview. When i started with husky compilation i never compiled anything before and i found it helpful to see what files could be effected and which are for different OS.

Also beware that the installers of older commercial OS/2 compilers (Borland, Metaware & C/Set) have a tendancy to break the boot
sequence on OS/2 Warp 4.0 and above due to CONFIG.SYS modifications.

Well, i hope to found that in the compiler installation howto.

Michael, if you would like to support other OS/2 users you could write down your successful installation steps and forward them to a husky maintainer for updates of the huskybse docs.

Regards

Kai

At least *.mvc, *.emx, *.djg works

would chime in and tell us exactly what compiler they're using, and

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/GCC-3.3.5-csd6.zip

what their build process is.

copy /y huskybse\huskymak.cfg.emx huskymak.cfg
call \usr\bin\gccenv.cmd

cd huskylib\make
make -f makefile.emx all
cd ..\..

and so on...

It's unfortunate it no longer builds with the Watcom makefiles, since cross-compiling is possible, even from 64-bit Linux (using OpenWatcom 2.0).

would chime in and tell us exactly what compiler they're using,
and

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/GCC-3.3.5-csd6.zip

Thanks. That was important since it won't build with GCC 2.x from the original EMX 0.9d distribution, nor with GCC 9.2 from the Netlabs RPM repos.

what their build process is.

copy /y huskybse\huskymak.cfg.emx huskymak.cfg
call \usr\bin\gccenv.cmd

Sadly we gave up trying to build on arca, just couldnt seem to get it.. Switched to squish works like a charm...
