XDS 2.12 native code
--------------------
(OS/2 Pre-Release)
1. Installation Notes
To install XDS, create a new directory and unzip the contents of
this archive into it. For example, assuming that the archive
resides on a floppy disk A:, you should type:
c:
mkdir XDS
cd XDS
unzip a:\xco212p.zip
In the following text we assume that you choose the C:\XDS
directory for installation. If another directory was used, please
use the name of that directory instead.
Then you'll have to edit your CONFIG.SYS file:
- add the directory C:\XDS\BIN to executables search PATH
- add the directory C:\XDS\DOC to BOOKSHELF environment variable
which is used by on-line documentation viewer.
Shutdown and reboot your system to make the changes work.
To create Workplace Shell objects for XDS, type
xdsdesk
at the OS/2 command line prompt.
1.1. Directory Structure
The following directory structure is created during installation:
C:\XDS\
DOC useful *.txt and *.inf files
BIN executable and system files
DEF library definition modules
CDEF ANSI C interface library definition modules
ISODEF ISO library definition modules
LIB "*.lib" files
ODEF Oberon-2 libraries pseudo-definition modules
SYM symbol files
SAMPLES Modula-2/Oberon-2 code samples
2. Creating the Working Directory
---------------------------------
The "mkwrkdir" command file (C:\XDS\BIN\mkwrkdir.cmd) will help you
to create the working directory:
mkwrkdir
The command file will ask you for a name of your working directory. It
will be created along with an appropriate subdirectory structure and
a redirection file. You will be also asked whether you would like to
work with sample programs provided in the package. If you answer Y,
the required lines will be added to the redirection file. The file
C:\XDS\DOC\SAMPLES.TXT contains a brief description of all sample
programs included.
3. How to start
----------------
To start XDS IDE use the following command line in your working directory
xds
To start XDS compiler from the command line use
xc {options | modes} module_or_project_file {options | modes}
To view the on-line documentation, type
