Przemek, Viktor, Maurilio:
As make381-os2 show problems (limits) and incompatibility with
make381-windows (and perhaps Linux), there are some way to use
ANOTHER make system in OS/2 ?
Reading docs of Watcom I found wmake.exe, based in GNU make but with
some differences specified in docs
I tried to use it to build Harbour and raised errors not described
in differences
No, sorry. I'd certainly not want to reintroduce a parallel (non-GNU)
make system for OS/2 after having spent a year getting rid of them
for Windows (and all the permanent double work with them).
Probably it would be better to find a GNU Make build for OS/2 which
works well, or trying to work around the bugs which it has under
OS/2. I don't exactly see what are these though, can't find any lines
like "for %i in ( *.obj ) do @echo -+%i >> __lib__.tmp" in current SVN.
[ It'd recommend to make tests using latest SVN, as changes are made
regularly in the GNU Make process. Also, confirmed pending patches
should better be uploaded to SVN, as currently it's very difficult to
track what is the tested codebase. The only slight problem I see with
these watcom patches, is that it's not too clean and for cross-
compilation
it would have to be added to all watcom.cf files, just to make OS/2
happy. ]
It should also be noted that our GNU Make process uses shell specific
rules and parts, and some other OS specific tricks so maybe not GNU
Make itself should be blamed for some problems you're seeing.
It may also be an option to use the DOS build of GNU Make under OS/2.
I don't know to what extent OS/2 is compatible with DOS exes, but it's
worth a check.
Brgds,
Viktor
