Hi mark,

ml>hahahaha, forgive me for laughing but it was as simple as

ml>  unzip \dwnlds\emx09d.zip \temp
ml>  unzip \temp\*.zip

ml>or something equally simplistic... it took longer for me to 
ml>edit my config.sys file and reboot than it did the actual 
ml>unzipping >>

The install instructions for 0.9b, which I have in front of me, ran 8 pages
of A4 (U.S. Letter, more or less) paper. That install took the better part
of an hour.

ml>actually, i as can tell, emx and gcc are already made...

That has changed significantly. My copy of 0.9c required an earlier copy be
installed to build it. That install was even more convoluted than 0.9b.

ml>i was attempting to make dmake to test that... i have been 
ml>back thru it more and i think i need header files from some 
ml>toolkit??

EMX contains its own version of the OS/2 header files. I don't know what
else DMAKE might need to compile.

ml>oh yes... like i say above, i've actually compiled some few 
ml>things with it but until i can get dmake or bake or 
ml>something that works to make with, i'm kinda lost... i 
ml>remember reading about bake when it came out... if it'll 
ml>work with "normal" make files, maybe i'll try to bake 
ml>everything instead of making them... i like cooking better 
ml>than i do laboring anyway, hahaha...

Yes, bake is quite a handy make utility, and the makefiles are a doddle to
code. You can take an existing makefile and reduce it to bake format very
easily.

Regards

Dave
