This is definitely the right approach to take to the issue. Have you looked at twiki? It occurs to me that a twiki-based forum for programmers might be a good addition to edm2... the idea being that it can evolve into a less formal knowledge base over time... something an interested developer can surf around to get the feel of how you develop for the platform. One of the nice things about it is that it should also require very little maintenance...

A few people seem to have got hold of the scripts, which you can do using wget like so:- wget ftp://unixos2: at 213.152.37.92/pub/unixos2/build_system/lib/build.cmd I haven't managed to recursively download it all myself in spite of people showing me how. If anyone has managed to download the whole thing in one go, please show what you did. BTW I keep updating the shell script, build.sh so you may need to refresh your copy.

You do need to add this to src/utils.c #ifdef __EMX__ #define setsid() (0) #endif I'd say your problems are coming from autoconf. Perhaps wget uses an older autoconf.
