This port requires IBM C/C++ and the IBM TCPIP library. It has probably only been tested with the CVS client. Local CVS might or might not work, and the server would definitely not work. You'll need to edit the makefile to reflect your system's paths (unless you're our customer for this port, in which case the paths are correct because we did the port on your machine. :-) ). You also may need to comment out the "Makefile" rule in emx/Makefile to avoid a complaint about ../config.status not existing. You also might need to edit srcdir to be "." and top_srcdir to be "..". That should be all -- edit the makefile, do "make" and get os2\cvs.exe. Assuming you have edited the `install_dir' variable in the Makefile, you may type "make install-cvs" to put cvs.exe in the right place. If the makefile has linefeeds only at the end of lines, make (at least the port of GNU make that I have) will interpret it differently. This is (IMHO) a bizarre behavior, but you need to convert the linefeeds to CRLF pairs (editing the file with an editor such as emacs will generally do this). There are two compiler warnings in os2/popen.c which we haven't figured out the cause of. Other than that there probably aren't a whole lot of warnings (but there might be a few). Report bugs to . Some notes on the watcom port: ------------------------------ You need the OS/2 TCPIP developers toolkit to translate the sources. This is not as bad as it sounds, since the toolkit is on your OS/2 CD. To compile the sources, enter wmake -f watcom.mak at the OS/2 prompt. The executable created by the watcom compiler does *not* need a runtime DLL. Uz (uz@musoftware.com) Credits: Original port in 1995 by Karl Fogel .
