There was a discussion in mid december in a thread titled "Silent
toolkit/bin/rc.exe poison with emx build". I'm still not to clear about
what the outcome of that discussion was, but I understand that for an
emx build that the OS/2 installation rc should be used. Could someone
confirm this, and more importantly, explain why.
Currently I have three versions of rc available - 4.00.001 (from warp4
install), 4.00.005 (archived toolkit) and 5.00.000 (toolkit).
The problem that I have with all of them is that they cannot handle
having '/' as the path separator rather than '\'.
To overcome this I have a small stub program that alters the directory
separator before calling rc.exe (current using v5.00.000). I guess the
better way would be as per rules.mk, using the subst function to correct
the path.
I am persevering with a PM-emx build, simply because I do not own VACPP.
