Open Office for eCS-OS\/2 2.4 Beta1 is available (news post)<\/a> and I installed it on my old SMP PIII box. Seems to work well! I guess the big milestone was just getting it going in the previous version.<\/p>\n

Also, Pasha has his updated os2ldr on hobbes (here)<\/a>. No chance to try it yet, but I wish it was open source. Guess that is up to ecomstation.ru.<\/p>\n

I am in the process of rebuilding my sandbox system and I reached the point where I setup the gcc environment. The easiest way to do this, especially since I rarely use gcc, is to use Paul Smedley’s build environment<\/a>, currently buildenv_20071022.zip and a size of 234,635,207 bytes.<\/p>\n

I know Paul has it on his U: drive and that the setup could be changed to use another drive, but I don’t want to invest the time. So, I created a U: drive during the system setup.<\/p>\n

First thing to do was to unzip the file. A quick dir \/s gave me the unarchived space required:<\/p>\n

686,439,038 bytes in 26,738 files and 8,057 dirs<\/p>\n

So, plan ahead because the zip file contains gcc, qt, perl, and all kinds of other libraries and executables.<\/p>\n

First thing was to cd into extraslib and run makeomflibs, as instructed on Paul’s site. I got this at the end but I believe it is expected:<\/p>\n

warning: one or more operations failed, check the above output. :-).<\/p>\n

Also, if you look in gcc335.cmd there are a bunch of e:python25 statements, but python is not in the zip archive. I just grabbed Paul’s Python v2.5.1 for OS\/2 & eComStation<\/a>. I just did:<\/p>\n

unzip python-2.5.1-os2-20071223.zip<\/p>\n

and changed the references in gcc335.cmd from e: to u:.<\/p>\n

With that done I gave it an easy test, compiling nasm-2.02. I first ran sh .\/configure<\/span>
and after it finished make<\/span>. The problem I ran into is that Paul’s gcc335.cmd defines tmp to u:tmp which did not exist:<\/p>\n

‘set tmp=u:\/tmp’
‘SET TEMP=%TMP%’
‘SET TMPDIR=%TMP%’<\/p>\n

I thought it was a good idea to keep the tmp drive on u: for my gcc stuff so a quick md tmp and I was off to run make again. The result was an complete nasm.exe build so I was happy.<\/p>\n

Things to note: Paul has a newer version of perl on his site and I think qt has been updated, but I have yet to download them. There may even be an updated gcc package on netlabs by now.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s it – short and sweet. Thanks to both Knut and Paul.<\/p>\n
