On Tuesday I installed the build system on my new laptop and I am migrating my active files from my old system.That will take a few days, but meanwhile I have a couple of questions about the (new) ux2bs. These questions arise from differences between what I see now and what I got last time I ran the install, many months ago. The old build constructed some scripts in /sbin. In particular, ux2_env.cmd, gcc_env.cmd and gcc2_env.cmd set a whole slew of environment variables for the three versions of gcc. The new build only installs gcc 2.8.1 and the only ux2_env.cmd file is in /unixos2/lib. That seems an odd location but it is not the subject of my question. The new ux2_env.cmd seems to be rather destructive with respect to the OS/2 system environment and so I am wondering, is this script intended for normal use or is it only created for the installation? Along the same lines, the older installation created program objects on the desktop which invoked shell sessions (ultimately calling the appropriate _env.cmd script) to establish the gcc programming environment. No such object appeared after the latest install. Should there have been one generated automatically or do I have to construct it myself? (I don't mind doing that, it is just that I want to know if the absence of a visible program object indicates an otherwise unobserved problem.) -- Jon Saxton Developer of cross-platform software for UNIX, OS/2 and Windows Aspiring numismatist.
