Thanks andrew for sharing your experience. I'm sorry but i'm used to take a look into the actual documentation and proceed as per information found within.

My intention was to give an entry point and first orientation overview. When i started with husky compilation i never compiled anything before and i found it helpful to see what files could be effected and which are for different OS.

Well, i hope to found that in the compiler installation howto.

Michael, if you would like to support other OS/2 users you could write down your successful installation steps and forward them to a husky maintainer for updates of the huskybse docs.

Regards

Kai
