[188]1This is Beta 2 of Qt version 4.5.1 for OS/2 and eCS.
[144]2
[188]3This document contains a brief information on the OS/2 version of the Qt library
4plus a brief list of OS/2-specific changes from release to release (section
5CHANGES below). Please visit the project page at

[144]13REQUIREMENTS

15In order to compile the Qt library, you will need the following tools:
16
17 - One of the OS/2 Warp 4, OS/2 Warp 4.5 or eComStation operating systems.
18
19 - InnoTek GCC compiler version 3.3.5 CSD3 or above (not tested).
20 You can download a copy of the compiler using the following link:
21
22 ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/GCC-3.3.5-csd3.zip
23
24 - Patched OpenWatcom linker which you can download from:
25
[152]26 ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/wl-hll-r1.zip
[144]27
[152]28 Note that if you use IBM ILINK (no matter what version), you will
29 not be able to build the debug version of the library due to
30 bugs/limitations of ILINK.
[144]31
[152]32 - GNU Make 3.81beta1 or above (not tested) available at:
[144]33
[152]34 http://unix.os2site.com/pub/binary/make/make-3_81beta1-bin-static.zip
[144]35
36After unpacking the GCC archive, you will have to set up the compiler
37environment by invoking gccenv.cmd from the bin subdirectory with the
38correct arguments (type gccenv.cmd -? for help). For the OpenWatcom
39linker, specify WLINK as the second argument. You will also need to perform
[152]40the following steps:
[144]41
42 - Make sure the selected linker and the make utility are in PATH.
43
[152]44 - Make sure CMD.EXE is your command line processor (the generated makefiles
45 will rely on its 'copy', 'if' and other commands).
46
[144]47 - set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\OS2\DLL;C:\MPTN\DLL where C: is your boot drive.
48
[188]49Note that the QTDIR environment variable used by previous Qt versions is not
50used by Qt4 anymore (except two rare cases that do not affect the OS/2 platform
51anyway and are probably leftovers after the migration of the qmake feature
