- This file only covers the OS/2 specific bits of MikMod.
- Be sure to read the 'README' file as well.

-
- Building MikMod under OS/2
- --------------------------
-
- Currently, MikMod can be build under OS/2 only with the emx compiler
- or the Watcom compiler. You'll need the MMPM/2 toolkit (included all
- the Warp toolkits) to compile the MMPM/2 driver. The Warp 4 toolkit is
- required if you want to build the DART driver, too.
-
- In this directory, run
-
- configure
-
- You will then be asked some questions.
- First, you'll have to choose your compiler.
-
- Then, you will be asked if you want to build a debug version ; this
- option is mainly intended for the MikMod developers, so you should
- answer "N" here.
-
- The next step is the driver selection. You'll be asked if you want the
- MMPM/2 and DART drivers. Since DART is not available on OS/2 older than
- Warp 4, the MMPM/2 driver is recommended for pre-Warp 4 systems.
- Otherwise, the DART driver is preferable, but you can include both to
- be sure your MikMod binary will work on every 32 bit version of OS/2.
-
- After that, you will be prompted for various MikMod options, well, only
- one for now... the high-quality mixer. The high-quality mixer works
- hard to prevent clicks and other spurious noise in output. However,
- doing this needs a lot of CPU power. On my main development machine, a
- PC with a 200 MHz processor running a slow Unix flavour, the
- high-quality mixer isn't fast enough to mix at 44100 Hz, and can't mix
- more than 16 channels real-time at 22050 Hz. Your mileage may vary, but
- if you don't have a very fast machine or are using a output-to-disk
- driver, you won't like this option.
-
- After the configuration has finished and the Makefiles are created, just
- run
-
- make
-
- and you'll get your customized MikMod binary in the mikmod directory.
- If the build fails, I'd like to hear from you to correct the problem.
-
-
- Using MikMod under OS/2
- -----------------------
-
- Run MikMod without parameters to get the available options.
- Once you're in the player, if you haven't choosed terse mode (a la
- MikMod 2), pressing the H key will give you an help screen with the list
- of the keys you can use. I hope it's understandable.
- Note that if you're using the DART driver, there will be a small delay before
- commands are processed.
