At least I use this feature too.

Here are some setting I added to improve speed:

set emxopt=-h2048    // I really need this
SET GCCLOAD=15       // keeps compiler in memory for 15 minutes
SET GCCOPT=-pipe     // gcc uses pipes instead of temp files

With the last 2 statements it improved speed on my 300Mhz PII for about
50% reducing disc access.

Interesting!  grep just returns Permission denied for all of the files. 
The OS/2 Search tool shows that the only file containing that string is
posix2\include\sys\ttycom.h

Why isn't grep working? I executed it from a window in which I previouly
executed ux2_env.cmd.  Doesn't say much for our build environment, or
isn't it supposed to be able to run the unix progs after the build?

I've just managed to build RECODE v3.6 but it isn't as smooth a process as

Can anyone familiar with this app tell me how I can test it?

How about trying Henry's build from Hobbes, and seeing if there is any

I don't suppose you have a copy of the file of headers you created or know 
which files need a new #include...

Well file.h does things like
#define BYTE 1
#define SHORT 2
and emx\include\os2emx.h which is included at some later
time (implicitly by unistd.h) has code like
typedef BYTE unsigned char;
typedef SHORT unsigned short;
and tons of declarations relying on those types.

The only possible solution is fixing file's source code
to not redefine type names or if they must be redefined,
redefine them _after_ they have been used in os2emx.h

As I said, I took those defines out of file.h and did put
them into their own file which I then included after all
the other includes in the three or four source files that
needed the defines and everything worked nicely.

There are a couple of problems with update_base.cmd which ought to be 
sorted out, especially regarding the build of Make 3.79.1...

Currently I can't build make simply by running 'build make'. I don't 
understand the reason for it failing. The update_base.cmd includes this:-


call build make
setlocal
cd \unixos2\workdir\make-3.79.1
make
copy make.exe \usr\bin
endlocal

It works somehow, but is a bit of a kludge, and I liketo clean it up but I 
don't know what is wrong.

 
Also, with GETTEXT, it appears that none of the .EXE files get installed.
They seem to get built correctly in src\.lbs, but then this happens:-

u:/unixos2/bin/install.exe gettext.exe u:/usr/bin/gettext.exe
u:/unixos2/bin/install.exe: gettext.exe: No such file or directory


Not sure what has gone wrong.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll give the new one a test.

It looks like SLANG won't build correctly unless the PC method is used. 
But it would be useful to somehow also use th configure method, if only 
for installation purposes...

Well, I suppose it fails because a declaration/ 
defintion of TIOCSWINSZ is missing. ;-)

grep TIOCSWINSZ posix2\include\* emx\include\*
might help to find which file needs to be included.

I received it via the list here on my Linux box. But I forgot to
deactivate the pgp signature. Since most mailprograms don't handle
pgp/mime correctly that can cuase problems 8-(

That's a great idea.

On my machine at home, perl built fine the day before yesterday and the
update_base compleeted with success yesterday.

So now I can start working on slrn again to make it build via the
"standard" way.

openssl builds fine using the build system. Note that there is 0.9.7a
available, which fixes a security bug.

I will try uudeview next,
I will add slang, using the old way for now and try slrn then using the
cvs files.

In case of doubt:
Move all the defines into a new file, but leave
the struct itself where it currently is. 
(No those #defines do not need to be scattered
 across the lines of the struct definition.)
That worked for me.

Not right here. I could send it to you later this
week ...

OK I've done that, but am left with:-

Undefined symbol _os2_apptype.

Any ideas on what is missing?

Thanks. Hopefully, I'll have it built by then and I can check what I've 
done against your solution.

It doesn't seem the ideal way of handling things though as far as 
submitting a suggested patch to the author...

I have seen this in the log files, but finally a working make.exe

Me too. But it needs autopoint from automake and a working gettext.

yes I know, I will try to automate building it with the os2 version of
mkmake.exe. Maybe a can creat a Patch package including this file and
scripts to run everything.

I tried it once and could see that, using configure, 2 files are compiled
and linked which are not used doing the PC way.

Yes, I've made it work, but I'm not entirely sure I understand the process 
by which it works...

It seems that INSTALL is looking for them in the wrong place.

What is autopoint? I am not aware of it. I don't see any reference to in 
automake...

I have managed to create an OS/2 mkmake.exe but it is almost 10 times as 
big as the DOS program. Any idea why? How big is the one you have built?

I see it now. It's part of gettext, not automake...

No it only does this with subdirectories. It does not recurse 
subdirectories unless the '-r' is specified, but this option is not 
available anyway in the GREP used in the original baseline toolset.

GREP should work normally.

It is however a back level version, and ought to be one of the first tools 
updated by the new build system. It will be included in update_base.cmd 
just as soon as I can figure out what needs to be done to make it build.

I did manage to build it a while back, but have been unable to recreate 
it in an automated environment.

Its in the misc directory of te autopint tree. I do not know what it
does, but it is the first prog slrn configure checks for.

It's big compared to the old dos version. I have to look at home for the
real size after compressing it with lxlite.

I've got M4 building OK, but it won't install.

I've seen these errors before insome other app but don't what it means or 
what the solution is.

Anyone else know?

Subject:   SED builds

I've just managed to build SED v4.05, but it's absolutely ENORMOUS!

The one in the baseline toolset is only 17kB, but the one I've just built 
is 256kB!! They are different versions and the old one uses a REGEX DLL 
but still shouldn't account for such a huge size increase.

Is this just due to code bloat?

They should not fail as the C9x draft introduces the is*() functionality 
under the name of "classification MACROS".

I had a discussion about this over 2 years ago in the R mailing list and 
  have had no problems since then with configuring R (in this respect, 
at least). Maybe one can press on the maintainers of Perl to change 
their configure logic.
