Yup....

 ML> Since this is whole GCC deal is an unopened treasure

Good question.  I've got the beta of Open Watcom installed (right before
they released 1.0), and need to upgrade that to the 1.0 version.  Also, I'm
now trying to get the GCC 3.2.1 package fixed up and running here....  I
noticed the install script didn't give me the environment setup the way I
need it....

 ML> The PATH statement to EMX is not the #:\emx\emx at all. 
 ML>  It is of the, I think, correct form #:\emx with all 
 ML> the \bin and so on under it.  All of the GCC parameters 
 ML> for EMX, I think (THINK?), came in a block of stuff in 
 ML> the CONFIG.SYS after it was installed as PJGCC work?  
 ML> Thus, one would suppose that the applications which 
 ML> depend on it are all flat dumb and happy with what was there, no?

I have fun, cause I have EMX loaded on my boot partion (normally C:), and I
do *not* want the compiler on that partition due to space issues (although
it would probably work out....  Yes, I need to re-install the GCC 3.2.1
because I was "testing" and need to place it else where....

 ML> So is the smart thing to do is to whomp out the entire 
 ML> #:\emx\emx directory setup, whomp out the entire 
 ML> CONFIG.SYS line segment which has to do with what the 
 ML> compiler put there?  Then next go whomp out the entire 
 ML> #:\PJGCC directory which is there?  We then run 
 ML> UNIMAINT and maybe CHECKINI and so on and watch for 
 ML> fireworks?  Then .. start all over with the new GCC321 install routine?

Good question....

 ML> Advice?

Reload OS and start from sratch?!?!?!?  

When you figure it out, let me know....  Then maybe I can try to get the
Maximus / Squish / SqaFix ports that we're (attempting to) compiling using
GCC on Linux to see if I can get that version to also compile (and run)
under OS/2 using GCC 3.2.1....  That would be nice....  But it could get
interesting....

We're close to being able to compile SqaFix under Linux.....  Still working
out code clean up so that SqaFix can be GPL'ed.  Able to run test compiles
of that code using GCC under OS/2 would be nice....

Take care....
