| 32 | You can build ncurses on OS/2 in the EMX environment. But you must build and |
| 33 | acquire tools. Not all of the tools distributed with EMX work properly, and |
| 34 | some additional ones are required. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | First, the configure script distributed with ncurses will not run as-is in EMX. |
| 37 | You can generate a new one if you have autoconf built for EMX. You will need |
| 38 | the EMX development tools, of course. Get these programs to start: |
| 39 | |
| 40 | GNU m4 program (version 1.4) |
| 41 | GNU autoconf (version 2.13). |
| 42 | GNU patch (version 2.5) |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Apply the autoconf patches from |
| 45 | |
| 46 | http://invisible-island.net/autoconf |
| 47 | ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf |
| 48 | |
| 49 | These are ordered by date: |
| 50 | |
| 51 | autoconf-2.13-20030927.patch.gz |
| 52 | autoconf-2.13-20030927-emx.patch.gz |
| 53 | |
| 54 | I built my development environment for ncurses using EMX 0.9c at the end of |
| 55 | 1997. Much of the EMX patch for autoconf was done originally by J.J.G.Ripoll, |
| 56 | using a similar environment (he prefers using the 'ash' shell). Newer versions |
| 57 | may fix these problems: |
| 58 | |
| 59 | + The pdksh program distributed at Hobbes and Leo (with a 1996 date) is |
| 60 | defective. It does not process "here documents" correctly (which |
| 61 | renders it useless for running the autoconf script). I built my own |
| 62 | copy of pdksh 5.2.13, which does have the bug corrected (documented |
| 63 | in the change log for pdksh). |
| 64 | |
| 65 | + I also built from sources (because the distributed binaries did not |
| 66 | work) the cmp, diff programs. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Other required utilities such as ar, cat, chmod, cp, gawk, grep, mv, |
| 69 | ls, rm, mkdir, sed, sort and tr worked. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Once you have autoconf patched and installed, run 'autoconf' from the top-level |
| 72 | directory of ncurses to generate the EMX-specific configure script. |
