Has anyone ported gcc and/or g++ to OS/2? I have access to DJ Delorie's port to MS-DOS: is that a suitable substitute? I am moving to OS/2 soon, and would like a good C/C++ development system. -- Mike Strasser Psychology Dept The University of Queensland

More importantly - is someone going to look at porting gcc/g++ to OS/2 v2 when it is released properly ?? It would be soooo much better if it produced 32bit code ant V ant "I killed Laura Palmer" \o/ ant@brolga.cc.uq.oz.au -O- Anthony Murdoch Prentice Centre /0\ Phone (07) 36 54078 University of Qld

Unfortunately, at that time I could find no Intel-syntax assembler that worked in `use32' mode, including the OS/2 2.0 assembler. The port of gcc to produce Intel-syntax is easy. The problem is that there isn't much use for the output yet. -- James R. Van Artsdalen james@bigtex.cactus.org "Live Free or Die" Dell Computer Co 9505 Arboretum Blvd Austin TX 78759 512-338-8789

It will be difficult to port the "big" GNU tools to OS/2 1.x, since it still deals with 64K segments. However, OS/2 2.0 has a 32-bit flat memory model, and I suspect that once it's out, some cunning programmer will port them in a flash.
