We have many of the servers which it is capabale of configuring already available on OS/2, including Apache, BIND, MySQL, SQUID among others, and I'd like to be able to use this as a GUI configuration program instead of text editor. Anyone who uses any server software should have a look at webmin. You can get it from:- http://www.webmin.com Once you have, you just need to run the standard install program, to get it up and running, although this does involve using a version of Perl which supports crypt(). You can use a version of Perl without this function, but you will end up with a program you can't login to. There are also a couple of lines which need commenting out, but it's a relatively straightforward process. -- John **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 10:41:58 +0000 From: John Poltorak Subject: ld which supports lib prefix Does anyone know which ld.exe supports libs which have a lib prefix? -- John **= Email 5 ==========================** Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 10:47:23 -0500 From: Henry Sobotka Subject: Re: which The version on Hobbes is 2.1.3, the gnu is 2.13. The former is a self-described clone rather than port. The gnu builds out of the box but needs serious work: it can't find anything, including itself, with or without the .exe extension. It also has no -l flag for finding DLLs, nor -e flag you can use to find headers in C_INCLUDE_PATH, Java classes in CLASSPATH etc. Even were the gnu version fixed, the OS/2 clone is far more useful. h~ **= Email 6 ==========================** Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 10:51:41 -0500 From: Henry Sobotka Subject: Re: ld which supports lib prefix John Poltorak wrote: > > ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/gcc-3.2.1-r2 > > Has anyone tried this release out yet?

If they don't share a common code base, it would be really strange that they managed to end up with the same version number, wouldn't it? So I'd bet on them sharing code base, but I don't know for sure...

Sounds like it is being put through its paces fairly thououghly... Any idea if any patches are available?
