I am working on a FAT32 formatted partition. It is one of the partitions that I didn't care if it ended up being blown away for some reason. I had downloaded the archive via the ux2bs and just using my browser, so it probably is more likely the partition-type than anything. I'll see if I can shoe-horn it onto one of my HPFS drives.

The archives have downloaded, Perl seems to have built without a hitch (it is running its tests now, one of which I had to CTRL-C out of, but no big deal). Is this an issue we're going to have to check out with the OS/2 version of TAR and see if it is make some nasty assumptions about the file system, or is it the file-systems themselves that are the problem?

That's what it is because I tried them under Linux a while ago and they were fine. It's OS/2's tar/gzip.

I've seen this 'broken pipe' msg intermittently when doing exactly the same processing.

It's probably a bug in the IFS.

I've got all other compilers in a special subdir. D:\OS2DEV\C\Watcom11c D:\OS2DEV\C\OW10 D:\OS2DEV\C\EMX D:\OS2DEV\PASCAL\VP21 ... and so on. I modified the ux2_bootstrap.cmd but on a later stage of the installation this fails. I would also be nice if the installation would ask at the end, if I want to let it modifiy the CONFIG.SYS or create a "ux2bs_env.cmd" that holds all necessary settings to use the build system.
