This article is the result of my exercise of trying to compile a WPS class on 2018. On this case I had choosen to compile HWMan WPS Class to learn about the built procedure.

Software Required

• VisualAge C++ V3.6.5 (with fixpack 2)
• IBM Device Driver Kit
• NMAKE
• emxupd.exe [1]
• HWMan Source Code

Preparing the Environment

Installing VisualAge C++ V3.6.5

CONFIG.SYS

Here it is a final view of some key elements of the config.sys paths and libpaths.

Compile Procedure

Checking the "make" file

Make Procedure

• "nmake" to do a normal build
• "nmake "DEBUG=1"" to build with debug info
• "nmake -a" to rebuild all
• "nmake -a "DEBUG=1"" to rebuild all with debug info
