+===========================================================================
+
+(The top level) configure.cmd is obsoleted by. Please follow the
+step like this:
+
+1. Install GNU m4, gnu?utils, aclocal/2, autoheader/2, automake/2,
+ autoconf/2, perl, GNU patch and a UNIX type shell like pdksh.
+2. Apply the patch development/OS2/quick_fix.patch
+ // os2_defines.h needs a modification because bmtable.c is C.
+ // Now it hits me, why don't we patch "test -x" (gnufutils)?
+ // However, we can't modify the behavior of "test -f", so
+ // it is still necessary to modify script files for LyX.
+3. Install xforms 0.88 and rename
+ forms.a -> forms_d.a
+ forms_s.a -> forms.a
+ // Ever since 1.1.5pre1, you cannot link xforms dynamically.
+ // If you don't like this, please ask Holger Veit to export
+ // fl_get_scrollbar_bounds, fl_get_scrollbar_increment and
+ // fl_get_scrollbar_value from the DLL. They're already there!
+4. Install Hung-Chi Chu's port of GNU gettext. Other ports will
+ not work.
+5. Set environment variables
+ MAKE_SHELL=sh
+ LIBS=-lulib -lsocket -lbsd -lshm -lstdcpp
+ // ulib must be linked if we use static xforms library.
+ // Unless you are using pgcc, we use gcc rather than g++.
+ // Hence stdc++ must be linked explicitely. Also please
+ // note that ld for pgcc often fails to link big executables
+ // like unstripped lyx.exe
+6. From sh prompt, type
+ autogen.sh
+ and then
+ configure --prefix=/XFree86 --datadir=/XFree86/lib/X11
+ x11make
+ // Please do not use make.cmd make.exe should be OK.
+ // x11make.exe is the safest choice
+ // While you are running configure, make sure that it is not
+ // a background process to other CPU intensive processes.
+ // While OS/2 kernel is much more efficient, faster and
+ // more responsive than other systems like LINUX (you can
+ // easily *FEEL* this if you stop PM/WPS and run XFree86
+ // only), its TTY interface is lousy, to say the least.
+ // If the synchronization to the children breaks, configure
+ // often detects wrongfully.
+
+> Or it is possible to download the compiled program?
+
+7. If you are going to make a binary distribution, you have
+ to prepare lib/configure.cmd noweb2lyx.cmd and reLyX.cmd,
+ since end users may not have a UNIX type shell installed.
+ At this stage, lib/configure.cmd in the 1.1.5pre1 should work
+ without change.
+ // If Dekel Tsur introduces the converter_command tag to lyxrc,
+ // the situation changes.
+ In order to create noweb2lyx.cmd and reLyX.cmd, first rename
+ noweb2lyx and reLyX and open them in a text editor. You
+ have to remove hardcoded path in the first line:
+#!perl
+ Also in reLyX.cmd, $lyxdir should be changed to include the
+ drive letter (the line 21):
+$lyxdir = "$ENV{X11ROOT}/XFree86/lib/X11/lyx";
+ Finally, prepend a line
+extproc perl.exe -S
+ so that cmd.exe pass the execution control to perl.
+ // I know configure.cmd had done this automatically.
+ // So you can compare the result with the scripts in 1.0.4
+ // distribution.
