| Running & Compiling WINE in OS/2 |
| |
| If you want to help for the port of WINE to OS/2, |
| send me a message at krynos@clic.net |
| I currently don't want beta testers. It must work before we can test it. |
| |
| Here is what you need to (try to) compile Wine for OS/2: |
| EMX 0.9c (fix 2) |
| XFree86 3.2 OS/2 (with development libraries) |
| bash, gnu make, grep, tar, bison, flex |
| sed (a working copy of) |
| xpm |
| diff and patch are recommended |
| Lots of disk space (about 40-50 megs after EMX and XFree installed) |
| |
| To compile: |
| sh |
| tools/make_os2.sh |
| make depend |
| make |
| emxbind wine |
| |
| Currently: |
| - configure and make depend work... |
| - make compiles (with a modified Linux mman.h), but doesn't link. |
| - signal handling is horrible... (if any) |
| - EMX doesn't support mmap (and related), SysV IPC and stafs() |
| - XFree86/OS2 3.2 doesn't support XShmQueryExtension() and XShmPixmapFormat() |
| due to the same lack in EMX... |
| |
| What needs to be redone: |
| - LDT (using DosAllocSeg in memory/ldt.c) * |
| - implement mmap() and SysV IPC in EMX * |
| - File functions, |
| - I/O access (do it!), |
| - Communication (modem), |
| - Interrupt (if int unknown, call current RealMode one...), |
| - verify that everything is thread safe (how does Win95/NT handle multi-thread?), |
| - move X functions in some files (and make a wrapper, to use PM instead latter), |
| - return right CPU type, |
| - make winsock work |
| * Top priority |
| |
| The good things: |
| - OS/2 have DOS interrupts |
| - OS/2 have I/O port access |
| - OS/2 have multi-thread |
| - Merlin have Open32 (to be used later...) |
