Hi again
As I said in my previous message, I am trying to package libraries to use
Open Watcom as a multi-target cross compiler on Arch linux (the nice thing
about Arch AUR is that anyone can package stuff). Naturally I want to target
as many targets as possible ;)
I have installed all targets that I knew of from the v2 binary distributuion
from Sourceforge:
linux, Win32/nt, Win16, Dos-16bit, Dos-32bit, OS/2-16, OS/2-32, Netware
... in addition there are some libraries specific for rdos installed.
For Netware: I see some netware-specific libraries in lib386/netware, but no
netware-specific headers. Is this how it should be?
Googling on Watcom and Netware does not give much info.
QNX : As far as I have understood it, QNX support was depreceated because
the libc could not be legally redistributed when Watcom got open sourced. I
looked a bit in the watcom sources (under build/wcc and build/wl) and saw
some references to QNX.
Is QNX still an "active" target by the compiler or has it been removed from
there? If it is still "active" - could one actually still use Open Watcom to
cross-compile for QNX using an alternative free libc (like for example
newlib) ported to QNX?
