Re: DCE 2.1 for OS/2...use it for Java port?
Brett said:
While I agree parts of DCE could come in handy for the port, I think one
of our goals should be -- and seems to be -- using non-commercial tools
to conduct the port. That was one of the reasons that GNU and EMX were
chosen. No doubt many of us here use C-Set(++) normally for OS/2
development, but we don't want to require the purchase of tools to
participate in the port. I'm curious as to whether gcc files can be
debugged with IPMD (C-Set's debugger) ... I'm afraid the answer is
probably no (shucks!).
Actually, you can use and will have to use IPMD or a debugger llike SD386
from DEVCON to debug Java. GDB does not support multithreaded programs.
You have to compile HotJava using the OMF file format to do this, rather
than the default XCOFF file format. GCC/EMX generates HLL debugging
information properly with a few exceptions documented in the
EMX programming referance.
