Strange. Evidently OW2.0 is a bit of a moving target, but that shouldn't happen. It built without error on a OW2.0 snapshot from 2020-12-26.

I've subsequently updated to the latest OW2.0 snapshot and got the same error as you, so have committed a fix to huskylib just now.

The bad news is running "hpt.exe toss" (without any configuration set) actually froze my OS/2 VM.


Actually I think the freezing is a problem with the VM or a bug in the OS/2 JFS driver and not Watcom's fault, because it (1) wouldn't boot correctly the first time after a reboot and (2) generated a POPUPLOG.OS2 error before it froze:

But until I reinstall my OS/2 VM so it's stable, I can't tell you what's causing HPT to segfault. I bet it's something stupid though.
