= Building FileManager/2 (FM/2) =

This document explains how to build FM/2 from source.

== Getting the Toolchain ==

The following tools are currently used to build the FM/2 binaries

 * [http://www.openwatcom.org OpenWatcom]
 * rc.exe from the IBM Developers Toolkit v4.5
 * lxlite LX compressor

[http://www.openwatcom.org OpenWatcom] v1.6 or newer should work.  There are no known special setup requirements.

Older versions of the IBM Toolkit may work.  The Toolkit is on your eComStation CD#2.

Not all versions of RC.EXE are created equal.  Currently, the best version to use is

  12-18-97   6:01         868,000           0  RC.EXE

which reports itself as

  IBM RC (Resource Compiler) Version 5.00.002 Dec 18 1997

and it is available from
[ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/warpzilla/os2tk40rc.zip Toolkit update for Mozilla]

You can get LXLITE.EXE from
[http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=lxlite&pushbutton=Search lxlite from Hobbes]

== Building the Executables ==

Use subversion to pull a copy of the source code distribution into your
client workspace.  See [wiki:/ Getting the Sources] for instructions.

Run the build commands must be run from top directory of your Subversion workspace.  The directory will contain the  top level makefile.

Build the release version with
{{{
  wmake DEBUG=0
}}}
or
{{{
  set DEBUG=0
  wmake all
}}}

Build the debug version with
{{{
  wmake DEBUG=1
}}}
or
{{{
  set DEBUG=1
  wmake all
}}}

When switching between debug and release builds, add the -a switch to the wmake command line.  This forces all files to be rebuilt.

The build outputs are:

 * av2.exe
 * databar.exe
 * dirsize.exe
 * eas.exe
 * fm3.exe
 * fm4.exe
 * global.exe
 * ini.exe
 * killproc.exe
 * sysinfo.exe
 * undel.exe
 * vcollect.exe
 * vdir.exe
 * viewinfs.exe
 * vtree.exe

 * dll\fm3dll.dll
 * dll\fm3res.dll
 * dll\fm3res.str
 * dll\ipf\fm3.hlp

 *  internal\mkstr.exe

== Compressing Dlls and Exes ==

Lxlite.exe needs to be in a directory listed in the PATH statement of your config.sys or build enviroment cmd file.

To compress exe/dlls, run
{{{
wmake lxlite
}}}

== Packaging a Release ==

FM/2 is released as a WarpIN package.

The basic process is
{{{
  wmake wpi
}}}
See [wiki:WPIBuild] for more details.

== Building, Compressing, and Packaging with a CMD Script ==

Open a text editor and add the following lines
{{{
set debug=0
wmake all && wmake lxlite && wmake wpi
}}}
Save the file naming it possibly Build_FM2.cmd.  Copy the file to the root of your fm/2 workspace.  The script must be run from  this directory or it will not find the required files.  After the script finishes, open the warpin subdirectory and you should find the WarpIN file in this directory.
