 * MapXQS from [http://home.earthlink.net/~steve53/betas/ ExceptQ 7.1+ by Steven H. Levine]. This will create .XQS files from the .map ones to further help debugging.

Our friends at [https://www.bitwiseworks.com/ BitWise Works GmbH] also have a [http://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/wiki/AvailableRPM RPM-packaged, newer one] that "has fixes included from several places (inluding all Steven fixes)". The latter should be installable via yum/rpm or ANPM.

 Once you have all of the above, the process is as simple as !ChDiring to trunk/src in your local copy of the SVN source, and issuing the Open Watcomm command "wmake". This defaults to the first target in the makefile, which will generate efte.exe (the VIO executable), and eftepm.exe (the PM version), along with their .sym, .map, and .xqs symbol files.
