WarpZilla Tools Instructions - Updated 02/27/00

We have switched to the GNU shell utilities PWD.EXE in order to do OBJ builds. It is also required for the new NSPR build.

This document explains what tools are required to build Warpzilla.

The following CMD file sets the environment. It sets it to GCC by default. For VisualAge, type SETMOZENV vacpp.

The following OS/2 utilities are required for the EMX build only

  • RC.EXE (VisualAge and EMX)
  • LINK386.EXE (EMX)
To verify that you have these utilities, check in the OS2 directory on your boot drive. If you do not have these utilities, you can install them by running OS/2 selective install and selecting "Link Object Modules" on the "Optional System Utilities" page.

The following packages are required for both VisualAge and GCC builds

  • EMX Runtime
  • autoconf
  • glib AND libidl
  • Perl
    • perl_aou.zip
    • perl_blb.zip
    • perl_exc.zip
    • perl_inf.zip
    • perl_mam.zip
    • perl_man.zip
    • perl_mlb.zip
    • perl_pod.zip
    • perl_sh.zip
    • perl_ste.zip
    • perl_utl.zip
    • plREADME.zip
    • plinstal.zip
    • plinstl0.zip

    Unzip plinstal.zip and plinstl0.zip and type install.

    IMPORTANT DO NOT INSTALL THE PKDSH SHELL - IT WILL BREAK THE BUILD

We recommend putting all of the following EXEs and DLLs in one directory called MozTools.

Note: For the files indicated with an asterisk (*), you can use either version. For dirname and pwd, you must use the versions indicated. The following tests will verify you have the correct versions.

Run dirname /. The output should be /(forward slash) NOT .(period)

Run pwd. The output should begin with a drive letter.

The following packages are required only for the GCC build

Don't forget to run OMFLIBS after installing emx.

The following packages are required only for the VisualAge build
