OK, will do. Youb> b> suckless.org people, Haiku, Syllable, Hurd, OSF/1,

The official version is handled by perfoce, which is somewhat annoying, but
source tarballs are available along with x86/x86_64 Linux binaries.

Hm, interesting.

There is also a github mirror/fork

but I failed building that one...

I just found a set of scripts that may help in building the github "version 2" sources.

https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/openwatcom/wiki/Home

I was especially interested thanks to the two custom "ar" and "ranlib" bash scripts installed in "binl".

If I manage to combine the two I will let you know and send the URL to my Arch PKGBUILD (pretty easy to follow and to adapt).

I have tried learning other Linux packaging formats and have sort of figured out the rpm:s, but still struggling with .deb:s (packaging the NetBSD Rump kernel on OpenSuse Build service for most Linux distros).

heh well the openwatcom is out there... I am mostly curious to see
how well the resulting binaries will perform ;)

And whether at all, indeed ;) Good luck!


Thanks! Always fun to try something new :)
