Revision as of 15:27, 10 December 2018

By Martin Iturbide

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

Installing VisualAge C++ can be tricky since you need Netscape navigator to work as the installer tool. The good thing is that the installer includes Netscape on the list. So you can install Netscape on ArcaOS (if you didn't install it when you install the OS) from it.

The install procedure is just straightforward. You can only install the "basic" components of this tool and it will work for this exercise.

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

Tools and Compiler Versions

This are the versions of each tool and compiler I used:

Tool Date File Size Version Source
icc.exe 2000-11-24 12:44a 57,078 bytes 3.6 FP2 From VAC++ 3.6.5 with FP2
sc.exe 1999-06-30 11:12p 50,296 bytes OS2TK45
alp.exe 2001-05-25 466,944 bytes 4.00.008 OS2TK45
rc.exe 2003-01-30 / 5.00.007 399,538 bytes IBM RC (Resource Compiler) Version 5.00.007 Jan 30 2003 Included on ArcaOS 5.x
ilink.exe 2000-11-24 1:27a / 03.06.PPK1001120 110,247 bytes IBM Version. Version 3.6 with Fixpack 2. From VAC++ 3.6.5 with FP2
dllrname.exe 2000-11-24 1:26a 35,679 bytes IBM C/C++ Tools Version 2.0 - DLL Rename Utility From VAC++ 3.6.5 with FP2
emxupd.exe 1998-12-19 9:27p 34,304 bytes From hobbes
