Hi all,
I'm Gabriele Gamba and I first of all what to say that I'm totally ignorant about programming! So, what follows is just a draft, that I hope someone more computer literated than me can correct and extend, and I will be very happy to let him the honours for this page :-)
Information listed here comes from progref.inf file included in the XWP's sources and from Ulrich's page about setting up CVS.
Supposing that you already have a working CVS setup, do this:
- go in your CVS root folder (e.g. x:\CVS)
- do "SET CVSROOT=:pserver:guest@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/xworkplace"
- create a subdirectory in your CVS root directory named "xworkplace" (e.g. x:\cvs\xworkplace)
- change to xworkplace directory and do "SET USER=guest"
- from the same directory, do "CVS login"; enter "readonly" when you are prompted for password
- do "cvs checkout -r branch-1-0 ." <-- don't forget the last dot!
This last command will retrieve the most updated stuff from CVS. Now you need the XWorkplace helpers.
- go again in your CVS root folder (e.g. x:\CVS)
- do "CVSROOT=:pserver:guest@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/xwphelpers"
- create a subdirectory in your CVS root directory named "xwphelpers" (e.g. x:\cvs\xwphelpers)
- change to xwphelpers and do "cvs checkout -r branch-1-0 ."
You just downloaded from CVS all what you need to compile the very latest XWP stuff. Now, the compilation environment:
- IBM VisualAge C++ 3.0 with fixpak 8 is reccomended (and it is also the only environment currently supported.
- OS/2 Developer's Toolkit for all the SOM header files and the SOM compiler: the ones included in eCS 1.2 CD #2 seems good.
Now, you have on your computer all what is needed to try to compile XWP :-)
- first of all, adjust x:\CVS\xworkplace\config.in to your needs
- then, from x:\CVS\xworkplace\ run "nmake dep". If you have never built XWorkplace before, "nmake dep" will give you lots of warnings that headers could not be found. This is normal.
- After that, run either "nmake all" or "nmake really_all". "nmake all" will only rebuild XFLDR.DLL, XWPDAEMN.EXE, and XWPHOOK.DLL , while "nmake really_all" will produce the full set of XWorkplace executables plus the NLS files.
