Additional hints for OS/2 users:

- if you only have FAT file systems, forget compiling AS rightaway - we

need the long filenames and therefore a HPFS file system!

- You need the following Unix tools, ported to OS/2 :

- 'gzip' and 'tar' to unpack the archive, but you obviously already

have managed that ;-)

- Eberhard Matthes' port of the GNU-C compiler for OS/2. I haven't

made personally any attempts with other OS/2 compilers so far, but

it might be worth a try.... AS includes already patches for IBM's

Visual Age C 3.0 made by Steffen Schuemann <[email protected]>

relative to the original r6 distribution. I couldn't test them

myself since I do not have the IBM compiler :-(

- a make utility to process the Makefile. A port of GNU's make should

be perfect.

- Copy 'Makefile.os2' (for emx) resp. 'Makefile.vac' (for IBM Visual Age C)

to 'Makefile' .

- If you make a binary distribution, don't forget to include the emx

runtime libaries...
