But it's got some new features and some rudimentary test cases. The overall package is twice the size of 3.02 since it bundles in the gettext library as well as stuff for autoconf 2.54 > Will it build on OS/2? there's no mention of OS/2 in the code - but if autoconf 2.54 works on OS/2, it might work. -- T.E.Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 11:37:55 +0100 From: Pete Milne Subject: R port?

My impression is both the native OS/2 application XAct, and GNUplot, are oriented towards charts/graphs used in scientific presentations. TIA.

And it's not really just that one symbol that's involved, so if you just provide that in a helper library, you'll get mysterious run time crashed as soon as a program wants to use exceptions. I.e. you really have to switch to 0.9d if you want to make use of it ...

Hmm, I looked at my EMX sources and binaries and didn't find that symbol __eh_frame_init anywhere. I have EMX 0.9c, which version do you have? Fix: - install emx 0.9c or - copy that library c.a from emx 0.9c (might not work at all; I don't know) or - erase gcc.a and gcc.lib in gcc-3.0.4 sources, so that files from EMX will be used. Most things will work with old gcc.a from EMX, some won't (for example profiling). I will look at emx 0.9d, try to find what does this symbol mean and implement it in gcc.a.

Most EMX users, myself included, are now using EMX 0.9d with GCC 2.8.1 but want to move on to a later version. I think Stefan Neis has answered your other questions. Regards, Dave
