Okay, I'm not able to get autoconf 2.52h installed. :-(
I suspect perl might be the reason. Could you please tell me
a) which perl did you use (which version and where got it)
b) which shell did you use?
c) which PERL* env. vars did you use? You can get them
   if you enter "echo $PERL" followed by two tabs within
   your _bash_ prompt (without <ENTER>).
d) Do you have any files in "d:/perl/bin"?
   (seems to be a hardcoded path in at least that perl version
   I'm using).


Thanks,
Andreas

I found Perl was quite easy to build for myself using a simple cmd file 
such as:-
 


set AWK=c:/usr/bin/awk.exe
set C_INCLUDE_PATH=c:/emx/include;
set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=c:/emx/include/cpp;c:/emx/include
set LIBRARY_PATH=c:/emx/lib
set PATH=c:\emx\bin;c:\usr\bin;c:\os2;
md \tmp
md \tmp\perl
cd \tmp\perl
test -f stable.tar.gz || wget -c http://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.gz
tar zxf stable.tar.gz
cd perl-5.6.1
patch -p0 < os2\diff.configure
sh -x ./Configure -des -D prefix=c:/usr/lib/perl
make
make test
make install


This will result in any hardcoded paths including c:/usr/lib/perl.
If I build it the way that suits me, I don't need to set any variables, 
just copy perl.exe to somewhere on my path (c:\usr\bin) and the perl DLL 
to somewhere on my libpath. PDKSH needs to be used to build Perl - bash 
doesn't work for some reason.

There is a problem with 'make install' for 5.6.1 which didn't occur with 
5.6.0 but I haven't discovered why yet. With 5.6.1 'make install' is 
interpreted as 'make INSTALL' and since there is a file called INSTALL the 
target is deemed to be uptodate. This is resolved by renaming the INSTALL 
file. It would be nice if your Make port could handle this situation.

The only other problem I have is with trying to build Perl using gcc 
3.0.3. It just doesn't work (at least for me...). Others have built it but 
I can't figure out their secret. I don't have any trouble using 2.8.1.

I thought we had determined it was from using the wrong (for 3.0.3)
intl.dll.

Subject:   HFSUTILS



Slackware contains a package called HFSUTILS which contains some programs 
for supporting Mac users.

An OS/2 version is available here:-

http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f96-bet/hfsutils/

and this forms the basis of the UnixOS/2 HFSUTILS package here:-

ftp://unixos2.com/incoming/pkg/hfsutils.zip


The OS/2 port is no longer being maintained and the homepage above may 
disappear before too long, so if anyone has access to a Mac maybe you 
could take over hosting the homepage or even maitenance of the OS/2 port
of HFSUTILS...

Subject:   Installing gcc 3.0.3


Can someone give me some simple instructions for installing gcc 3.0.3?

I have attempted to do so a number of times, but I keep missing something 
out because I can't build Perl and keep getting an error when using 
cpp0.exe. This must be related to something missing from my environment
but I can't figure out what.

Not exactly. I determined that the latest (AZ) INTL.DLL didn't work with 
Make 3.79.1. I don't recall that DLL preventing the cpp0.exe errors I got, 
but I'll check it again just in case my recollection is wrong.

It worked for me like this: the /emx/bin.new directory must be on the path, everything else will be found my 
gcc itself. However, there seems to be a problem with the 
/emx/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-os2_emx/3.0.3/include/stdarg.h file which by default is examined before the one in 
/emx/include. So I had to set cplus_include_path and c_include_path to contain this directory so that it is 
searched before /emx/lib/gcc-lib/... Anything else was not necessary, and I was more successful building 
STLport with gcc3 than with pgcc 2.95.3 (still does not compile the test suite).

Don't know if this success message helps, though.

Subject:   Make problems


My usage of Make v3.79.1 over the last week or so has come up with the 
following problems:-


o Cannot be used to build emacs 20.7.
     Make 3.76.1 does work.
  

o Does not distinguish between 'Make install' and 'Make INSTALL'
     Same as previous versions of Make. 



o Incompatible with INTL supplied with latest GETTEXT.
     Could be INTL build problem.


Has anyone else had any problems with it?
