1. gcc os/2-emx source build |
|
|
| Is there any known patches or other tips anyone could suggest for me to be able to build the sources for binutils, gcc, and emx to target os/2 from Linux (attempting a cross compiler). Currently the sources I'm trying to use are the ones released from Innotek and I have had nothing but complications due to different pieces of the code yelling about linux not having EMX and such. Any advice, tips, or otherwise would be appreciated. |

I am certainly no expert but wouldn't it be easier to point to libc than emx? I would look to the UnixOS2 list as the people that might be able to answer this question would be there. IIRC you can sign up for it at www.os2ports.com. Andy |

I just looked at that site, they still use emx. EMX is basically the libc. It's also designed so that it makes porting UNIX programs to OS/2 much easier because it provides a lot of the POSIX and other APIs that do not exist normally on OS/2. As far as I know, there is no version of gcc that points to any default libc on OS/2. |

Innotek GCC uses libc vs. emx but I don't know if it would be any eaiser to use it than emx when compiling on *nix. I have ported from *nix to OS/2 but not on a *nix machine. If you send a message to the UnixOS2 list there may be someone on it that has. |

Actually if you download the runtime sources from Innotek it is emx... I downloaded the runtime, gcc, and binutils sources from their site and inside the runtime is nothing but the emx libraries (likely updated and a few changes) as well as utilities for emx. (e.g. emxbind, emxomf, etc) |
