    I'm not sure what is needed to compile on OS/2.

    You need a working gcc compiler. :) Then just follow the instructions how to compile.

    I'm still using the good old GCC 3.3.5.

    It is possible I am sure but I am not sure of the tool chain needed. Tommi could get you moving in the right direction.

    There are gcc files released periodically in the GFD file areas (all sorts of OS/2 files) that might come in handy but I don't know how to build anything on OS/2. If you are not already connected to that FDN we could find a way to solve that.. :)

    I tried those binaries, and when I run hpt pack, I get killed by SIGSEGV error message

    this is on hpt/os-emx 1.9.0-cur 2020-11-09

    any ideas?

    Thanks

    Do you mean http://download.huskyproject.org/os2/husky-all-1.9-os2-libc066-20201211.zip

    Husky 1.9-current OS/2-libc066 binaries only

    any ideas?

    It can be anything. For example, a non-existing path is specified in the config.

    Do you have that exe on your system?

    As far as i remember there was some kind of path and compilier specific definitions in the huskymak.cfg. I would grep the sources for emxomfld.

    How did you start with the husky compilation? Where is your first entry point? And i don't know if there are differences between the OS/2 versions (Warp, ECS 1+2, etc.).

    Yes. When I had OS/2, I used this tosser and was very pleased. It was written specifically for OS/2 and uses its features. Very fast.

    no, I do not have that file on my system

    Oh sorry, my mistake. I didn't noticed the change of the topic.
    My question was intended for Rick. It does not match to your problem.

    tried using the libs, which gave me klibc errors, cant seem to fix..everything seems to run fine unless I invoke the pack option

    I'm afraid that we don't have many OS/2 users here. Did you try an OS2 echoarea to adress the OS2 community directly?

    have since decided to switch over to dbridge.

    Ouch. For OS/2 the hpt downgrade step should be squish/2. I did a migration from squish to hpt and it was easy from my point of view.

    Regards

    Any chance you know where I can get it in english? I cant setup because the docs are all in a language I cannot read.. Thank you.

    Have you tried google translate yet?

    Is regina hardcoded to look in a certain place for its config files?

    I don't remember anymore, it seems yes - it is looking for a config in the same directory where the executable file is launched from. It's been 11 years since I was forced to stop using OS/2. :(

    it saved the config in the current folder, but when I run regina
    again, the configuration does not get loaded

    It's strange. Did you cd d:\fido\regina (or where it is)?

    You can always subscribe to RU.OS2. * (For example on 2:460/58 node). Most of the subscribers there speak good English, it is not prohibited there and you can easily get a qualified answer.

    As I recently learned, prebuild binaries for OS/2 do not have Pearl support, otherwise they are quite workable.
