13REQUIREMENTS
14
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 here:
25
26 ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/wl-hll-r1.zip
27
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.
31
32 - GNU Make 3.81beta1 or above (not tested) available at:
33
34 http://unix.os2site.com/pub/binary/make/make-3_81beta1-bin-static.zip
35
36 - LxLite 1.3.3 or above (not tested) if you want Qt DLLs and application
37 executables to be compressed (to save hard disk space and load time). If
38 you have a recent eComStation installation (e.g. 2.0 rc6) you will already
39 have LxLite installed. Otherwise, you may take it from here:

42
43After unpacking the GCC archive, you will have to set up the compiler
44environment by invoking gccenv.cmd from the bin subdirectory with the
45correct arguments (type gccenv.cmd -? for help). For the OpenWatcom
46linker, specify WLINK as the second argument.
47
48You will also need to perform the following steps:
49
50 - Make sure the selected linker, the make utility and LxLite executable are
51 in PATH.
52
53 - Make sure CMD.EXE is your command line processor (the generated makefiles
