Subj : DOS version To : Vince Coen From : Bob Jones Date : Sun Oct 05 2003 03:23 pm BJ> A version of YACC or BISON. We should be able to use a port of this BJ> to OS/2 of the version we are using under Linux. VC> This I will need help in locating. Ok.... I believe I have a compiled binary of the GNU version of the program somewhere on my bbs (telnet://tophat.darktech.org, fidonet 1:343/41, running under OS/2). I'll have to do some digging and look..... BJ> And since we are working with sourceforge for souce code control, a BJ> version of CVS or access to a system where you can VC> run CVS against the BJ> sourceforge site, along with a sourceforge address. VC> Hmm, I seem to remember that the os/2 versions of CVS VC> is somewhat old. Under VC> Linux I'm running 1.11.2 (Client/Server). You will need a client / server version of CVS to use the sourceforge CVS server. You could do all the CVS stuff from Linux (which is where I'm currently setup for the CVS access). BJ> That's the basics from my memory..... If you would like to help keep BJ> the OS/2 version compilable with Watcom (or the EMX port of GCC) that BJ> would help. VC> I'll try the Watcom method as my 11.0c is a update from VC> original v11.0, a & VC> b. Good! You will be able to compile all the OS/2, DOS and Win32 versions (both 16 bit and 32 bit) then. The question becomes which make sub-system to use. If you can get dmake working, the code just might compile using Scott's make files..... BJ> Also, with Watcom, we should be able to generate cross compiles for BJ> the DOS and Win32 based system. VC> In theory I should be able to compile Win and Dos providing all code to VC> support swapping, DPMI etc is included. Yup...... BJ> None of this is getting done with the current BJ> Maxiums linux port. Now BJ> that we have some (minor) squish changes made and Sqafix compiled, it BJ> would be good to get those pieces compiling (and working) back in the BJ> OS/2 (and DOS and Win32) envriornments. BJ> Can you help with that? VC> Yes, should be able to. As the OS/2 sub-system is on the same box as this VC> Linux implementation I will keep the dual boot system until I can build a VC> independent box just for OS/2/Win/Dos dev. The only VC> question is what platform VC> to use for building. Well, I failed to get Openwatcom and a version of DMAKE working under OS/2 with the limited time I had to play with it. Scott last compiled the code (prior to releasing it under GPL to the SourceForge site) on a Windows box using an older version of the Watcom compiler, and of course DMAKE for the make sub-system..... And we're now using GNU make and GCC for the current compiles under Unix / Linux based systems...... Let me know what additional help you need, and remind me about YACC / BISON if I don't post a note soon concerning where to find an OS/2 compiled version of that (or file names to look for). I'm fairly certain a copy is on the HOBBS OS/2 file archive site (US), and probably also on the Leo site (Europe). Take care.....
