- Hello,
-
- I'm trying to get a programming environment set up under os/2 2.0, and
- need some advice/help on a number of things.
-
- First, I was confronted by the bewildering array of gcc compilers at hobbes:
- gcc 2.1
- gcc-2.2.2
- emx-0.8d
-
- A while back, I saw a post (It's gone now; was it the faq?) detailing
- some of the differences between them, but I can no longer remember the
- details. (A copy of that might be very useful if placed at hobbes in
- the programming directory or in the info directory).
-
- Anyway, my needs are just for a 32 bit C compiler. DOS compatibility is
- not a concern. The ability to do PM programming might be nice, but isn't
- necessary. I do need a debugger, and a make program. So, guessing, I
- grabbed gcc-2.2.2. (Please tell me I didn't grab the wrong one).
-
- So I unpacked all the stuff into its directories, and I notice it lacks
- a debugger (as far as I can tell) and a make program. There is a
- gnumake program in the programming directory whose description makes it sound
- experimental or something. Does this program work OK? Is there a debuger
- available for gcc-2.2.2? If there is, where is it? If there isn't,
- do any of the other gcc packages have a debugger available?
-
- Lastly, I saw someone's post about what to do with the .texi file, but I
- now need to know what to do with the man files that document the library
- functions. What software do I need to view them correctly and/or print
- them out?
-
- Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
- -Bryon
