-You can build ncurses on OS/2 in the EMX environment. But you must build and
-acquire tools. Not all of the tools distributed with EMX work properly, and
-some additional ones are required.
-
-First, the configure script distributed with ncurses will not run as-is in EMX.
-You can generate a new one if you have autoconf built for EMX. You will need
-the EMX development tools, of course. Get these programs to start:
-
- GNU m4 program (version 1.4)
- GNU autoconf (version 2.13).
- GNU patch (version 2.5)
-
-Apply the autoconf patches from
-
- http://invisible-island.net/autoconf
- ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf
-
-These are ordered by date:
-
- autoconf-2.13-20020210.patch.gz
- autoconf-2.13-20020210-emx.patch.gz
-
-I built my development environment for ncurses using EMX 0.9c at the end of
-1997. Much of the EMX patch for autoconf was done originally by J.J.G.Ripoll,
-using a similar environment (he prefers using the 'ash' shell). Newer versions
-may fix these problems:
-
- + The pdksh program distributed at Hobbes and Leo (with a 1996 date) is
- defective. It does not process "here documents" correctly (which
- renders it useless for running the autoconf script). I built my own
- copy of pdksh 5.2.13, which does have the bug corrected (documented
- in the change log for pdksh).
-
- + I also built from sources (because the distributed binaries did not
- work) the cmp, diff programs.
-
- Other required utilities such as ar, cat, chmod, cp, gawk, grep, mv,
- ls, rm, mkdir, sed, sort and tr worked.
-
-Once you have autoconf patched and installed, run 'autoconf' from the top-level
-directory of ncurses to generate the EMX-specific configure script.
