- I'm considering buying the Developer's Toolkit, but before I do
- I want to make sure that it will do what I excpect it to do. So
- could anyone out there help with the following:
-
- 1) I'm told that the Developer's Toolkit comes with the required libraries
- and header files to exploit the full OS/2 2.0 API. Now I don't want to
- invest the $$$ in C Set/2, so is it possible to use the Toolkit with
- GCC 2.1 in any sensible manner. Do I just replace the headers in
- /gnu/os2-include with the ones from the Toolkit, copy the Toolkit's libraries
- to /gnu/lib and start developing, or is there more to it? Anybody with experience
- using the Toolkit with GCC 2.1, please comment on how seamlessly the two
- integrate.
-
- 2) What exactly does the Workframe/2 do. Sadly, in Denmark there's no
- special offer on the Developer's Workbench, so I have to buy the Toolkit
- and Workframe/2 seperately. I just asked about the prices, and it shows
- that I have to bleed aprox. $125 for Workframe/2. What does it do that
- justifies this price?
-
- I know that this propably belongs in the FAQ, but I couldn't find any
- detailed information - especially 1) is a bit unclear. Any comments
- will be mostly appreciated.
