We use UNIX at the university, but I'm using OS/2 at home. 
Now I want to run some of the programs we use at the university at home and
I want to develop UNIX-programs at home. 

Since the C source is often available, it is possible to recompile this
code with EMX.

But since I have the IBM C/C++ Tools v2.01, I want to use this compiler to
recompile the UNIX-programs.
I have installed the EMX include- and libraryfiles (created by OMFLIB.CMD). 
I then added a headerfile with the following lines:
   #define __const__  const
   #define __inline__ 
to reflect the IBM C/C++ notation of const. (I tried to do this for
__inline__ too, but this didn't work, so it's empty).

With this I can compile at least some of the sample programs from
EMXAMPLE.ZIP (GRAPH.C, SIEVE.C and SORT.C compile allright) (I only looked
at GRPAH.C yet). I think I can make the other programs to compile by adding
a few more defines (does anybody who has tried this before know which
defines?)

One of the problems I've come across is that sometimes there appears an
__attribute__ keyword, like in 
void abort (void) __attribute__ ((noreturn));  (in STDLIB.H)
I don't know how to handle this. But when I remove the __attribute__-part,
the program compiles allright.

The major problem so far is when linking the program. I don't know which
libraries to use, and since there are so many libraries, I have to specify
them all on the command line.
With all combinations I have tried I get multiply-defined symbols (when not
specifying the /Gn+ option) and unresolved externals.

Does anybody know which libraries to use and is it possible to create one
library containing the neccesary libraries, so I only have to specify one
library.

I hope somebody can help me with this.

Regards,
Ruud.
